Today i will show you thw most expensive watches of the world. These information is given based on my internet research .
With the advent of digital, few people opt to wear a "regular watch" these days. There are fewer people now who prefer to wear a traditional watch; and fewer who collect. Those that do collect them have an abject interest in the inner workings of a watch. Others find joy in collecting the most expensive ones. Here are the top 10 most expensive watches in the world currently. Which one would you pick?
1. GRAFF DIAMOND'S HALLUCINATION, US$55 MILLION :
Perfect for those who love things OTT, The Hallucination by Graff Diamonds is truly a statement piece. This watch is expensive for not as much as its inner workings, but the fact that it has 110 carats of extremely rare colored diamonds. According to the Graff Diamonds website, this design was worked upon by John Graff himself along with gemologists and craftsmen over thousands of hours.
2. GRAFF DIAMOND'S FASCINATION, US$40 MILLION :
Another watch for those that enjoy sparkles and bling, this watch by Graff Diamonds has 114 carats of colorless diamonds. It looks like a statement in itself. The diamond dial is shaped like a drop. This is as opulent as it gets. The dial is removable and can be used as a ring, with the remaining being used as a bracelet.
3. BREGUET NO. 160, US$30 MILLION :
Who wears a pocket watch these days, you might wonder. As it turns out, many would vie for this particular piece; not because it's a pocket watch but infact that it was made for famous French queen Marie-Antoinette. The pocket watch was a gift commissioned to Breguet from a secret admirer. The watch is also named 'Marie Antoinette' after her, however it was only completed 34 years after her demise. It was stolen in 1983 from a museum in Jersualem, Israel and finally repatriated in 2007. In 2004, a remake was ordered by the late Nicolas Hayek, founder of the Swatch group. The makers struggled greatly with it, despite looking into the original technical drawings in the Breguet Museum archives as well as the material available at the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris, France. They finally succeeded, with the new version created in such a way that it was self-winding. The meticulous craftsmanship is quite one to behold in this watch. It was finished in 2008 and presented in a case made of oak from the tree under which Queen Marie-Antoinette used to relax in her hey-day.
