World’s most expensive watch set to fetch $6.8 million

They got it right when they said time is money –  in the case of timepiece brand Mouawad it could set you back close to seven million dollars.

That’s the price currently being bandied about thanks to the launch of their one off ‘Mouawad Snow White Princess Diamond Watch’ estimated at $ 6.8 million. This is considered to be one of the priciest pieces across the globe but the company are no stranger to breaking records.

In fact they have already made an appearance in the Guinness Book of World Records for the costliest diamond.

Entitled the Splendor diamond, according to Guinness it is supposedly the most expensive diamond ever that’s been created in a single pear shape.

So how much will one of these set you back? (Take a deep breathe) an extravagant $ 12,760,000. Shirley Bassey was right. Diamonds are forever especially at that price tag.

In addition to this, just three years ago, they claimed another record which was for the world’s dearest handbag.

Time may prove to be priceless when it comes to this incredibly exquisite and detailed watch that contains more diamonds than a pack of cards.

Yet there are no jokers in the pack here. The only ace up their sleeve is the sleek design which benefits from Mouawad Swiss. Hour upon hour have gone into the craftsmanship of this fine piece which provides more than two hundred and thirty crystal clear diamonds. You might call it a weighty issue as the watch is believed to be encrusted with approximately one hundred and six carats of the stuff.
