Admire the most expensive watch of the world and mentally try on on yourself. If the price doesn't arrange, anything terrible: you are not one such, also it seemed to much.
Wrist men's watch has stopped the existence as an irreplaceable, essential accessory long ago. In the 21st century hours — design or a piece of jewelry, his most men's form: you won't put on every day new ear rings and brasletik, and hours — easily.
Here, of course, it is possible to argue one million times that it is better to have in the house — one very expensive watch or ten are cheaper. Matter of taste actually. Many have a collection from tens if not hundreds of models, but carry all the time same, even not the not most valuable. Just those which something are especially close or nice.
Hours — the same standard and eternally liquid men's fetish as the vintage motorcycle, the American electric guitar or the yacht. By and large hours aren't obliged to be exact even. And the majority of expensive products don't differ in really atomic accuracy, it technically isn't enough realizable in wrist mechanics.
Therefore the price is formed first of all not by(with) a design of the mechanism and even not materials, but design, an exclusivity and prestige of brand. Besides, from time to time life pushes together us with such copies of piece work, looking at which you understands that it is an art masterpiece, but not some there chronometer. And to bring up a question of pricing in that case simply not comme il faut.
But it is time to pass from the general words to business. What ten hours have in the market the highest price now?

Vacheron Constatin Tour de I'lle

Richard Mille Tourbillon RM 56-02 Sapphire
Here it is easy to see innovative company design which representatives of a brand call "cabled movement" that it is difficult to translate into Russian unambiguously — something will turn out it seems "the figured movements of threads". Clings actually. It is necessary to pay much, but if there are excess two million dollars, then why and isn't present!
A. Lange & Söhne Grand Complication
The work of the German A. Lange & Söhne laksheri-brand with a stop watch, a calendar and display of lunar phases (the last is especially important for werewolves). Someone is ready to pay for it two and a half million dollars.

Meanwhile this record in mechanics is considered not beaten. The gold chronometer weighs about a kilogram and contains 1728 details so, of course, he not manual, but pocket. The price — 5 120 000 dollars.
Patek Philippe Super Complication
Consists of 900 details which collecting required five years! Announcement of final cost is worth of five years' expectation: 11 million dollars! Though if you tell that you have come from MAXIM, you, perhaps, will give a discount of dollars for hundred. We want to trust in it.
