Ulysse Nardin's Royal Blue Tourbillion Watch ( Luxury Gadgets)

$1.1 Million Royal Blue Tourbillion Haute Joaillerie

At the recently concluded 24th Annual Showboats International Rendezvous, the Swiss luxury watch brand Ulysse Nardin, unveiled several custom made watches, including the $1.1 Million Royal Blue Tourbillion Haute Joaillerie watch, catering to the highest spenders on watches.

Placed in a platinum body with 568 baguette cut diamonds (approximately 33.8 Carat Total Weight), and 234 baguette cut royal blue sapphires (approximately 16.79 Carat Total Weight), the timepiece is as blingy and haute horology as one can get them. 

The dial features a unique exposed skeleton design, which plays with royal blue and platinum colored plates to depict the time. The hours and minutes hands are itself rather artistic, looking at their thin handcrafted design. The lower half of the dial, which is platinum shaded, has the branding of the watchmaker in blue enamel, at the 4 and 8 ‘o’ clock positions. The casing on the other hand, has a rather intricate and thin line of royal blue sapphire crystals, something not seen in the strapping of the timepiece.

Luxury Gadgets/iPhone 4 Time Machine from Gresso

After creating the Luxor World Time for the globetrotter business man and then decking it up in Gold, Gresso has now launched its new exclusive project, the iPhone4 Time Machine.

The usual glass back of this new iPhone 4 is replaced by a mineral glass with diamond coating and houses six independent mechanical Swiss watches, each taking hundreds of man-hours to construct and days on end of accuracy testing. The watches keep the time at the six leading business centers from across the world – New York, London, Paris, Moscow, Hong Kong and Tokyo.

What’s more, the six Swiss-made clocks add only 1mm to the back of a standard iPhone 4, and are protected by mineral glass with diamond coating against scratches.

A $6,000 price tag makes the iPhone 4 Time Machine enclosure affordable only to a uber-rich with some disposable bailout cash, but if you want to be noticed in a sea of iPhone 4s, that’s the price to pay.
