600 Gems Are In This Watch

Meet the Excalibur Superbia, dubbed as “the epitome of extravagance.” It sure is extravagant, as its listed price is a whopping $858,000. Just wow. This one-of-a-kind watch has six hundred triangular-cut diamonds and blue sapphires. The timepiece was a collaboration between Swiss watchmaker Roger Dubuis and Japanese interior design artists Kaz Shirane, as The New York Times details: 

Introduced last month at the new fair Watches & Wonders Shanghai, the opulent white-gold timepiece now is on display in the Chinese resort city of Sanya, on the island of Hainan in the South China Sea, while the brand courts five men from China, Italy and the United States who have expressed interest in the piece.
Mr. Andreatta said the watch was not designed for the Chinese market: It actually was a collaboration with the Japanese interior design artist Kaz Shirane, inspired by the mirrored observation deck he created for the Tokyo Tower in 2018 for the landmark’s 60th anniversary.
