Do you wonder what to ask for your birthday or for Christmas? Maybe one of these expensive watches can be something for you! Provided you have very wealthy family members or friends, of course.
$3,000Fortis Space B-42 Black Watch
This must be what makes it awesome and expensive:
Case back embossed with the emblems of the Russian space authorities FSA Roscosmos and Cosmonauts Training Center, Star City
$5,000
Bremont MBII Chronometer Watch
The Bremont MB was designed and built to become the definitive aviation chronometer in the market place and embody all that is meant by ‘Made in Britain’. Tested and designed in conjunction with the iconic British aviation company ‘Martin-Baker’. There are two models available – the MBI and the MBII. The MBI is only available to those individuals who have ejected using an MB ejection seat and can be identified quickly by its red aluminium barrel. The movement is protected by an anti-magnetic Faraday cage and a specifically designed anti-shock case mount.
And, more importantly:
The MB range has been designed and tested to withstand the MB ejection seat test programme.
$6,500Perrelet Turbine XL Watch
Bigger, more powerful and even more sensational, the Turbine XL is astounding observers with its audacity and proportion.
The cases with their dynamic and fluid lines, in DLC steel, titanium or pink gold house the technology of the Double Rotor, once again featured as a hallmark. The 12 turbine blades in titanium, which seem to be designed to slice through the air, slip under the black interior flange. The optical impact of this unique and unusual watchmaking specialty is even greater…
$10,000Panerai Radiomir Composite Black Seal 3 Days Automatic
OFFICINE PANERAI PRESENTED PANERAI COMPOSITE, a synthetic ceramic that is the result of an electrochemical ceramization process of aluminium at the 2010 Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie in Geneva. Very resistant and light, this material combines highly technical characteristics with the sporty elegance of Panerai watches.
The Radiomir Composite® Black Seal 3 Days Automatic – 45 mm has a Radiomir case made of Panerai Composite and a dial with date display at 3 o’clock. Another feature of this watch is the name ‘Black Seal’ printed onto the dial, a fascinating reminder of the history of the Florentine brand. Black Seal was, in fact, one of the names used to describe the slow-speed torpedoes used by the commandos of the Italian Navy in their underwater missions.
$34,000Ressence Type 3 Liquid-Filled Watch
The Ressence Type 3 transports time from the dial to the crystal. The orbiting indications are bathed in a fluid that refracts light like air, so that the indications appear to be displayed directly onto the sapphire crystal – closer to the eye of the beholder. The high-contrast white indicators against the black dial appear to be projected onto the top crystal as if onto a screen. Type 3 offers a tangible feeling of being able to touch time itself.
$39,000IWC Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar Top Gun
One of the most complex pilot’s watches ever built. The IWC-manufactured movement with its 7-day power reserve drives a whole range of watchmaking complications. These include a perpetual calendar with four-digit year display together with date, day and month displays as well as a moon phase display. All the displays are easily adjusted via the crown.
$50,000Pierre DeRoche TNT Watch
$186,900Romain Jerome Steampunk Black Tourbillon
Stabilized Titanic rusted steel. Black PVD-coated steel case. Skeleton dial with black gold coloured circular-grained steel plate & ruthenium coloured “XII”. Black rubber or Hornback crocodile strap in option.
$275,000Cabestan Winch Tourbillon Vertical Watch
$325,000Harry Winston Opus XIII Watch
Opus XIII once again defies the conventional rules of watchmaking. Fifty-nine pivoting minutes hands, eleven rotating triangles for the hours, and a sliding trapdoor perform a magic show where minutes and hours appear or vanish instantly — and, of course, tell the time.
