Vintage Rolex Price Smashes World Record.



How much would you possibly pay for a time-piece on your wrist? True a lot many luxury brands for watches are floating around, but the latest auction for a time piece could stun many. We sure have heard of bejeweled, crystalled and Swarovskied watches that cost the moon, but this auction saw prices hit the roof and bring in record breaking bidding, throwing recession worries out of the window.
The vintage Rolex in question, Baguette Diamond Cosmograph, was made originally in 1985. By watch manufacturing standards where designs have been changing every possible day, it can be considered vintage.

The Geneva auction was conducted by Antiquorum, billed the world’s leading watch auctioneer that brought in a total of 360,000 Swiss Francs which translates to roughly $ 315,000. Under the hammer were 481 timepieces, but this one saw some fierce bidding. The auction saw a lot of potential interest from Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Russian Federation and the United States, besides internet based interest.

Gresso Grand Wind.


Gresso, a manufacturer of luxury mobile phones, unveiled its first watch collection Grand Wind Skeleton at BASELWORLD 2010 Show. I know Baselworld 2010 is over, but we just got the press-release from Gresso announcing the Grand Wind.
The name Grand Wind Skeleton is in close connection with the term 'self-winding'. This is what completes the creative idea of the collection - massive rotor of 18K gold is situated on the front of the dial. Elegant watch case, 45 mm diameter and 12 mm height, is executed of 18K gold. The movement is skeletonized and easy seen from both inner and outer side of the case.
Expect also a massive price tag on the Grand Wind.
