The team of scientists plans to engineer a hybrid larynx as their next project, which may take a few years, according to stem-cell specialist Professor Anthony Hollander of the University of Bristol.

A "grand complication"?as the most complex watches, like Tourbillons, are called?requires more than 3,000 production steps and 300 quality-assurance checks. Each watch can take up to a week to be assembled. No detail is ignored: at the Le Sentier atelier, as at the Bulgari workshop in Neuchâtel, there is sticky paper on the floor...
