Having carved snakes on cell phones, Jeweler Boucheron is now showing an admiration for frogs on watches. The limited edition Boucheron Bestiaire timepieces are produced in counted eight-pieces and come slapped with 18K white gold. Measuring 42mm, the watch is water resistant to 50 meters bearing a white mother-of-pearl dial with the movement of a manual-wind Tourbillon well defined by 17 jewels. Available in two editions, one with 282 rubies, sapphires and multicolored tsavorites (weighing 7.7 carats), and other with 195 rubies, sapphires and multicolored tsavorites (weighing 3.3 carats.), it is a complete form of luxury that you can ever flaunt via a timepiece.

John Brownlee from BoingBoing Gadgets had digged out ‘The Chapter One watch’ from Maîtres du Temps. Its intricate design and elegant appeal is the result of an association between fashionable watch makers/designers Christophe Claret, Peter Speake-Marin and Roger Dubuis. It sports a Tourbillon, retrospective GMT and date pointer, progressing display that reflect the day and moon time along with a mono-pusher chronograph with a 60-minute rotation. Demanding a whooping $400,000, the cost of the timepiece doesn’t include a layer of Swarovski Crystals (crushed glass). It is an opportunity to categorize yourself amongst elite class.
