Sometimes at the Watch Digest, we just love to admire luxury watches; we are talking about over the top luxury watches. Luxury watches that even a celebrity may hesitate before buying. So what brand embodies the ultimate in luxurious excess and over the top luxury? Why Dior of course!
As a tribute to all things excessive and over the top, here are three of our favorite Dior watches. Just like Dior, we torture ourselves and our readers with over the top diamonds and glitz in the middle of a recession… but just because you look, doesn’t mean you have to buy.
First up is a watch form Dior’s “La D de Dior” collection; a stainless steel watch with a mother of pearl dial, bezel, and 38 mm case. Doesn’t sound too extravagant? How about 61 diamonds on the dial in a spiral design, 60 diamonds on the bezel and a pearl grey crocodile strap? This watch is also available in a number of designs including my favorite, a leopard print dial with 135 diamond dial, black crocodile strap, and 60 diamond bezel.
This watch is from the very popular Dior Christal collection and is entitled the Dior Christal Black 28 mm for obvious reasons including its 28 mm case diameter, bracelet with 1 row of black sapphire crystals, black lacquered dial, 16 diamonds, and 50 meter water resistance.
How expensive can a man’s watch get? You’d be surprised. This is the Dior Homme Chiffre Rouge A05 Black Time Automatic Chronograph and its technical specification will tell its story. This Dior watch comes with a Swiss made movement, 28,800 vibrations per hour, 42 minimum hours of power reserve, stainless steel coating, stainless steel crown with Guilloche pattern, automatic chronograph, 41 mm case diameter, black sun brushed dials, silver snailed counters, tachymeter scale, convex sapphire crystal face, luminous indexes, polished silver hands, enlarged hour and minute markers, read push button dater, 50 m of water resistance, and a 2 year warranty.
So don’t let the recession get you too down… remind yourself that timepieces are pieces of art, so its okay to admire them from afar until you start your own collection
