What Is The Most Expensive Watch?
For several years the most expensive watch has been Graff Diamonds Hallucination which commands an outstanding $55 million dollars (over £40 million). Graff Diamonds Hallucination is a ladies watch that debuted during Baselworlds watch and jewellery fair in 2014. Due to the Hallucinations astonishing 110 carats of diamonds, meticulous attention to detail and remarkable craftsmanship, this timepiece quickly captured the worlds interest. Laurence Graff, founder of Graff Diamonds explained that, The Graff Hallucination is a sculptural masterpiece, a celebration of the miracle of coloured diamonds.
The Hallucination is entirely encrusted in a rainbow of diamonds ranging from fancy blue, orange, yellow, pink and green diamonds. The diamonds have also been fashioned into various cuts including rounds, pears, marquise, hearts and emeralds, all of which needed to be carefully inserted by hand into the watch. The watchs petite dial and bezel are covered in pink diamonds. To add to the Hallucinations innovative design, its hidden clasp only opens once pressure is applied to a specific diamond.
Undoubtedly, the Hallucination is a testament to Graffs masterful craftsmanship, collection of exceptional diamonds and unbound creativity. As to why he wished to create the most expensive watch, Graff stated, For many years I have thought about creating a truly remarkable watch that illustrates our all-consuming passion for diamonds. The Hallucination has made my dream a reality. It took an experienced team of craftsmen, gemmologists and designers thousands of hours to create the Hallucination. To obtain the necessary gemstones, gemmologists spent several months carefully sourcing stones that would complement each other within the timepiece. This almost whimsical assortment of diamond colours and shapes illustrates the duality of the Hallucination as a masterful timepiece and breathtaking piece of jewellery.
