The Most Expensive Watch in the World.
It might appear, to the discriminating eye, that I am on a watch/clock
binge. To you out there who have come to this conclusion, I say nay nay.
It's mere coincidence me lads. Mere coincidence...and nothing more. That
said...onward.
There is a company in Switzerland by the name of Chopard that exhibited,
not too long ago, what is supposed to be the most expensive watch in the
world. Here is what it contains. First there are three heart-shaped
diamonds. The Pink Heart Diamond weighs 15 carats. The Blue Heart
Diamond weighs 12 carats. And the White Heart Diamond weighs 11 carats.
Now then...for many of us this would be sufficient. After all...thirty
eight carats of fancy cut and fancy color...that's not bad. Right?
Wrong! These three colorful heart shapes are set in a bracelet encrusted
with more white and yellow fancy shaped diamonds which make up little flowers
in design. Total weight of these little doo-dads..163 carats. We are
now talking over 200 carats of diamonds in white and fancy colors.
The question some of you may have at this point would be...hey...with
all these diamonds in the way...how to I get to see the time? The
answer my friends...is very simple. There is a spring loaded mechanism
which, when pressed, allows our three heart shapes to mechanically open
up, much the way the petals of a rose do while still wet with morning dew
and sprinkled with sunshine. And there, underneath, is the watch itself,
also studded with diamonds, ready to perform the utilitarian task it was
meant to do.
And the value of our little bauble folks? By a show of hands...who out
there wants to know the worth of our timepiece? And again...by a show of
hands...who out there would like to see a picture of Chopard's little
masterpiece? Now...lemme count those hands. There's one...there's
another...and another....Okay. I'll tell you. The watch is worth 25
million dollars. For those who didn't hear me...that's 25 MILLION
DOLLARS! Can you believe it? Now...go to my home page...scroll down the
Tables Menu...to where it says Tidbits...and then Tidbits Graphics...and
click...and thar she'll be.
