Ulysse Nardin have been making high-class watches for a long, since the 1800s. The company has always dedicated itself to making the kind of timepieces that fans lust after. Their new unit, the Monaco 2011 Executive Dual Time watch, is no exception. Also it’s being manufactured in a limited edition run so you had better get on it.
The first thing you notice about this watch is its unique design. That particular blue tone isn’t one you see in watches often and it certainly is a sight for sore eyes. The 43 mm wide casing is done in industrial grade stainless steel which is also a sight for those same sore eyes. Anti-reflective sapphire crystal covers the case and the watch can tell two different times at once, thus the dual in the moniker. It uses an old-school winding functionality for power which is also pretty cool. That’s how they did it in the 1800s you know. Or not.
Only 100 of these are going to be made so you could be the first and only kid on your block sporting this piece of chrono-history. No price has been announced yet but one can assume it would cost a pretty penny.
You love watches. You love games. What do you do? You can’t very well carry two things around can you? No, you can’t. With this in mind, enter Ritmo Mundo and their incredible inedible Ritmo Mundo puzzle watch.
This luxury timepiece features a unique sliding puzzle game, as you can see above. Don’t worry, though. This watch is also known for keeping good time. That’s important, after all. The timepiece is made of Swiss Sellita SW 200 automatic technology. It’s also water proof for you Michael Phelps out there.
All of this gaming pleasure will set you back, however. Expect to pay about $20,000 for the top-of-the-line version of this watch and $3,500 for a low grade version. You feel, don’t you? Only spending $3,500 on your timepiece. Geeze, small timer.
Donatella Versace has put her stamp on a great number of things. What’s the haps now? Watches, or shall we say, timepieces. Versace’s DV One is the top of the line timepiece you have always dreamed of, whether you knew it or not.
First of all, the whole thing is protected by, well, starch. It sounds weird but it works. These things are indestructible. The dial details are in red enamel and the strap is, as you can see, deep purple. The entire thing screams elegance. The theme of the watch was unsurprisingly culled by the winter/fall Versace collection.
The production will be limited to only 99 timepieces with a special “blue emerald” version only available via special order. No prices have been announced but guess what? It’ll be a lot.
We all want the best in life. So why let our lovely new iPads lay around in just any old case? Dolce & Gabbana are saying heck no to that and have released the definitive in luxury iPad cases. Cool!
This opulent and dazzling iPad case certainly is a winner in the looks department. It’s made of shimmery sequins and authentic black leather. Of course, the entire thing was constructed in Italy. Where else could it have been fashioned?
One can tell, though, that this case has been made with women in mind. Sorry guys. Maybe next time the fashion house will releases a more manly design. Until then, get to it ladies! Oh yeah, it’ll cost you $1,175. Luxury does not come cheap.
Watchmaker Bell & Ross is about to blow your mind with their new limited edition casino-themed watch. The BR01 is a limited edition timepiece, which is made out of pink gold. You heard that right, pink gold.
As you can see, the entire proceedings are dedicated to the game of roulette. This thing is made to last as well, boasting a carbon-finished case for extra durability.
So yeah, you want this thing. Want to know the worst part? It’s only available at a fundraising auction. You’ll have to get your plane tickets to Monte Carlo now. It will be for sale on September 22nd at the Only Watches fund-raising event.
Apple just announced the forthcoming release of the company’s iPad 2 and CrystalRoc is already all over it. Literally. The company has announced plans for a Swarovski-studded iPad 2 case. Their quest for Swarovski world domination continues. We are all powerless to resist.
You can place an order with CrystalRoc for Swarovski-encrusted case right now. They cost around $700, which astute tech-heads may note is more money than the iPad itself. Still, isn’t any price suitable to lavish your favorite device in sweet, sweet crystals? Over 4,000 Swarovski crystals go into the production of each case. Snatch it up now.
Renowned Swiss watchmaker Hublot has now announced the new Masterpiece Collection. The MP-01 watch is the first Hublot barrel-shaped watch that has been developed and manufactured by the Confrerie Horlogere Hublot (a team of 30 of the skilled watchmakers within Hublot).
The movement of the watch is manually wound, has 240 hours of power reserve and a 30-minute monopusher chronograph. The calibre offers a 10-day power reserve owing to its three barrels working in series.
Only 100 of these bad boys were made and each one clocks in at a cool $80,000.
Ok. We all know the drill. People love throwing those dazzling Swarovsky crystals on just about everything under God’s green Earth. Here is another entry: We already had the iPad, but now Samsung’s android-based Galaxy tablet has undergone the dazzling.
Harrods has begun selling a version of the popular tablet PC that is studded with Swarovksy crystals. The price? £2,699. This is a great gift idea for the bling lovers in your life.
