When does a watch cost as much as a house? When it's the gravity defying $250,000 Louis Vuitton Tambour Mysterieuse Calibre LV115 apparently.
The focus of the design lies in its transparent face with a mechanism that appears to float in the center. However, the secret to this magical feature is actually quite simple�the hour and minute hands are supported by two transparent sapphire disks. The watch is also capable of running for up to eight days on a single winding.
Yeah, $250,000 is a lot to spend on a watch, but there are some perks to the purchase�each watch can be customized in whatever way the customer sees fit and it comes with a mini steamer trunk to keep it safe. Meh, I would still rather have the house.
