Swarovski Fashion Rocks - Amethyst Crystal-studded DJ headphones

We have already seen Kate Moss’ Topshop dress adorned with 60,000 Swarovski crystal beads, which was created as part of the 2007 Swarovski Fashion Rocks for the Prince’s Trust.
Here is yet another sparkling item from the event, an extravagant set of DJ headphones. The headphones are festooned with Amethyst Crystals throughout and include a luxury box and small carrier bag. The flamboyant DJ headphones cost a cool €1670 Euros (approximately US $2400).

The Most Expensive Watches: Richard Mille RM008 Watch,£279,000


The Richard Mille RM008 Watch is epitome of style, high precision & solidity. Developed from the RM004 chronograph, the RM008 with hand would movement combines a tourbillion and a split second mechanism.

The two complex specifications combined together and lodged in the heart of a mechanical calibre, is a major technical feast. A variable inertia balance provides excellent reliability. It comes in three designs, pink gold and titanium, white gold and platinum. The price £279,000 is for the platinum watch.

$220k watch proves time does, in fact, equal money

Two legendary watchmakers have joined forces to create one of the coolest-looking — and most expensive — watches we've seen. Jean-François Ruchonnet and Vianney Halter made the Cabestan to look unlike any other watch on Earth. Its innards are vertical, with the numbers appearing on the cylinders themselves rather than on a face. As Ruchonnet says, "It is the architecture of the movement itself that is unusual, not its individual parts." You wind it by attaching a "wrench" to the knobs on the side and manually cranking it up, as shown in the picture. You won't be able to pick up one of these at the watch kiosk at your local mall; they're exclusive through the Vianney Halter Web site for the low, low price of $220,000. There are only 135 in existence, a number we can only assume correlates to the number of extremely rich watch geeks in the world.

Most Expensive Laptop


If you thought your 17” Apple MacBook or Alienware Aurora mALX qualified as an expensive laptop, think again.

In 1982 GriD Systems released the Compass 1100 laptop costing about $10,000 (inflation adjusted $20,200). Even this cost pales in comparison to the reports of a costly laptop that luxury manufacturer Luvaglio London is set to release in the near future by special order the most expensive laptop ever sold, with a price tag of a million dollars.

As of now all of the details are very sparse and the technical specifications have not been made fully available. We aren’t even sure what this laptop is made with to give it a cost of $1,000,000, but the exterior looks impressive. You can bet with a price this excessive, the expensive laptop will be a spectacle of precious metals and materials and include more than a couple gemstones.
