A Swiss company established in 1860 by Louis-Ulysse Chopard that specializes in watches, jewelry and accessories released the world's most expensive watch, the $25 million 201-carat Chopard.
This gaudy timepiece by Chopard is adorned with three heart-shaped diamonds - a 15-carat pink diamond, a 12-carat blue diamond and an 11-carat white diamond. Also present are 163 carats of white and yellow diamonds to bring the total to 201 carats of diamonds. The watch has a spring-loaded mechanism which, when pressed, allows the three heart shapes to mechanically open up to see the time and expose the yellow diamond-studded watch face.

Time is Money!
It has been reported that this colorful, glittery timepiece was sold in early 2000 for $25 million. The bracelet has 163 carats of white and yellow pear-shaped diamonds. Now that's a timeless fashion piece!
I now own three of these watches, and while it is a great timepeice, accidents can occur with it. I was in Estonia last month, and I accidently blinded the entire country when checking the time. Still, it's a small price to pay knowing that the poor can never achieve this level of watch fanciness. And, with the money left over, I can buy both a house AND a Disney vacation for my cat. If that's not a good deal then I don't know what is.
