Watch with 330 diamonds sold for 1.5 million Swiss Francs


Now this is what I call bling bling! I mean just look at the watch! Yes the diamonds are real, if you have any doubts. This very sparkling diamond watch has been made by London watch makers, Backes & Strauss. And if you think that these watches are just for show, let me tell you that one of the five such watches made by the company has been sold already!

This edition is called Royal Berkeley 43 Bespoke Watches. The watch case of each of these watches is 43 mm wide and is entirely covered with diamonds. The cost quite obviously is sky high at 1.5 million Swiss Francs. The first watch of the limited lot was sold in Monaco. Quite understandably so, celebrations ensued at the brand. This sale however means that the watch wont be showcased at the SalonQP, where is was supposed to be a highlight in November this year. So now let me dazzle you with all the details of this uber expensive watch.

The entire watch is made of 18k white gold. You would think that just that would be blinged enough. But no, this white gold base is then covered with 330, 106.45 carat diamonds! The hour indicator has sapphire crystals on it and the insides have a Swiss automatic movement.
