Would you spend $100,000 on a watch? Check out this platinum watch from Swiss timepiece-maker Ulysse Nardin, a one of a kind (or rather, 99 of a kind) gem that gives you an-eye view of the Earth—all for the bargain price of $100,000. Now that would be a Christmas present to remember.
What makes this watch so special, a rotating representation of the globe as it might be seen from above the North Pole, complete with a flexible spring representing the terminator between day and night, plus a perpetual calendar that makes a complete rotation once a year.
Okay, if you decide the watch is a little out of your budget, how about option 2. Rumor Mill is that Brad Pitt has one, shouldn't your Economics Teacher? :) Okay, maybe not, but what do you think about this.
Vertu's Signature Diamond Collection consists of handsets made of 18 carat yellow or white gold set with pave diamonds, as well as a platinum handset set with a .25 carat solitaire diamond. Each handset takes craftsmen a total of seven days to complete because they set over 700 diamonds by hand. They're only producing 200 phones, which will be sold exclusively in select jewelry stores. Cost is only $88,000. Maybe you could pick up 2 while you are at it? Guess what, you can't even take pictures with it. Is it worth it?
