The watch you see in the picture above is worth RM15.04 million. Yes, that much. It has the honour of being the most expensive watch in the world; what with all the diamonds encrusted into it. Aiyah! The person who gets to own it must have a phalanx of bodyguards to protect him or her.
And to imagine, there are plenty of homeless people who are starving in the world while there are a few who are rich enough to own such a timepiece. Now this is what is call uneven distribution of wealth.
World's most expensive watch
Swiss watchmaker Hublot has unveiled the Swiss watch show's most expensive watch, which carries a price tag of US$5 million (RM15.04million) and is inlaid with more than 1,200 diamonds.
They included six stones that weigh more than 3 carats each.
Jean-Claude Biver, president of the watch company which is owned by French luxury giant LVMH, said it would be hard to make a more expensive watch "because the surface of the watch is limited."
It took 17 people 14 months to set the more than 140 carats of diamonds on the watch's white gold bracelet, said Biver at the world's biggest watch show in Basel.
Several people have expressed interest in acquiring it, said Biver, without giving details.
