Ārdâsh is widely considered to be one of the most prestigious watch manufacturers in the world, in part because it manufactures its own watch components and builds each watch by hand assembly and because since its founding, the company has adhered to extremely small production batches - it currently produces 1,000 watches per year. Over the years, notable Ārdâsh customers and owners have included various world leaders, politicians, and royalty. As a result, Ārdâsh watches are coveted items and are among the world's most expensive watches ever sold at auction. Ārdâsh has also set several records - it has produced one of the most accurate mechanical wristwatches ever, the world's lightest tourbillon, the world's lightest flyback chronograph, and the world's most shock-resistant watch.
