Carl F. Bucherer is one of the most important watchmakers of the present generation. He has just created a masterpiece called the Alacria Royal which almost looks like a royal piece of jewellery. The watch can be worn by ladies and is opulent enough to make a princess carve for it.
It comes studded with precious stones like diamonds, blue and orange-colored sapphires, rubies and emeralds. Though Carl has used Indian themes on these watches as he claims, one must admit that they do look good. It is an interesting point to make that in India colours have significance but most people lack a good sense of fashion in that country.

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Diamond Chronometer Chronograph will set your heart racing.
The watch’s frame has been made in white gold with a width of 40mm. Two rows of diamonds line the whole structure with Arabic numerals in black enamel. Even the dials are made of diamonds. The whole presence is appropriately complemented by the white strap in leather.

One only needs an excuse to luxury. As if the limits of luxury for mobile phones have not already been crossed, TAG Heuer has come up with a diamond studded mobile phone. The latest Meridiist Diamant collection has two phones, one with 208 diamonds on its skin that sums up to 1.3 carats and the other, hold your breath, has as many as 1,232 diamonds that form 7.4 carats.
The second model being featured is touted as “imperial regalia of mobile phones’. The diamonds have meticulously been set in rows along the phone’s angled sides and the display screen.
On the camera shutter on the instrument’s rear side, a set of diamonds has been etched in TAG Heuer logo shape. Interestingly, the Swiss watchmaker firm is eyeing the women’s market to push these fancy pieces. It is another question how many women would venture out to pick up something as fancy as these models.
The phone features more than 430 mechanical components, many of which are from TAG Heuer chronographs. Meridiist phones have a non-scratch 60.5 carat sapphire crystal display, a stainless steel body and personalized digital engineering.
