English term

the number of complications

English to Chinese Bus/Financial Sports / Fitness / Recreation watches
AA: Before watch movements are put into production they must first be designed and tested. How long does this process usually take at a brand like A. Lange & Sohne?

ALS: Again it depends on the complexity of the watch, {the number of complications} and if the development involves the construction of a new basis calibre. The average time may vary from three to five years, in exceptional cases it may take even longer.

查到了:
Complications Additional functions beyond time-keeping such as: autowinding, date, moon-phase, heart monitoring, tide levels, power reserve, full calendar, split-second, perpetual calendar, duel time, world time, etc. These functions often involve precise strings of button sequencing and thick "How-to-Use" manuals "complicating" the knowledge necessary to get the most out of the watch. Watches with the most complications can be found in WristWatch.com's "High Tech" and "Special Use" categories.

下文又出现了这个complications:
AA: Long production times no doubt affect commercial availability. Do A. Lange & Söhne clients sometimes (or frequently) need to wait a very long time for their watches to arrive?

ALS: Given the craftsmanship, effort and time used on each of our timepieces, we are not always able to meet the demand of the A. Lange & Söhne connoisseurs around the globe. This applies in particular to complications, where often only a few specialized watchmakers are able to assemble the movement.
