100K Watch for your Rich Geek Friends
When I stumbled across this piece, I could hardly believe my eyes. Who would want to spend 100 thousand dollars on a watch… that is other than Bill Gates, Tom Cruise, and select Middle Eastern Oil Barons? Read all about it below:
Want the right wristwatch to go with that new $88,000 Vertu phone on your belt? Check out this platinum watch from Swiss timepiece-maker Ulysse Nardin, a one of a kind (or rather, 99 of a kind) gem that gives you a UFO’s-eye view of the Earth—all for the bargain price of $100,000.
No, it’s not encrusted with jewels and it doesn’t do Bluetooth, but the Tellurium J. Kepler Limited Edition watch (only 99 were made) has something you won’t find on your everyday Timex: a rotating representation of the globe as it might be seen from above the North Pole, complete with a flexible spring representing the terminator between day and night, plus a perpetual calendar that makes a complete rotation once a year.
Oh, and it’s water resistant to 30 meters, although I’m not sure how the leather wrist strap will handle salt water.
