If you are big time James Bond fan and wants the world to know this bit then a silent yet obvious way to flaunt it is to carry Veldini Q wristwatch inspired by 007. Stimulated by the gadgets, luxury, class, character, and darker side of James Bond, this luxury creation by designer Taylor Welden is in its pre-production stage and word is around counted three models would be produced. The design team is hoping to substitute its Pierce Brosnan and laser cutting watch appeal with spy tools, hence offering it a masculine touch that is functional enough.
It features three modular card forms viz. outdoor, spy, and everyday with each one having its own set of tools i.e. a set of pick locks, a glass cutter, a blade, and other sundry accessories that is complimented by a mirror, a blade and bottle opener. They say the sterling silver model is anticipated to demand $2-3k, Gold or Rose Gold would be retailed at $5-7k whist the Platinum version will be priced in the $10-15k range.

A wristwatch belonging to an Italian mogul who takes pride in having won Grand Prix races and was president of Ferrari generated a sales of £1.1million against its pre-auction estimate of $1.9 million after selling off his gold Patek Philippe timepiece at Sothey’s Geneva auction house.
Count Carlo Felice Trossi’s priciest possession called the “Trossi Leggenda”, described as “really revolutionary” by experts, was the highlight amidst the other 200 timepieces. Trossi by profession was a racing driver, pilot and speedboat racer whose motor-racing triumphs count the 1947 Italian Grand Prix. Besides this another gold Rolex known as “Oyster Daytona Paul Newman” dating back to 1980 got sold for £76,000 almost two-fold of its pre-auction estimate of £25,000 to £40,000. The watch was christened after the Florida car race and for the American actor who helped promote this style.
