$15,000 Diamond Encrusted Apple Watch Case Is The World’s Most Expensive

Because “How can we add diamonds?” is the thought on many jewelry designer’s minds, Golden Concept of Sweden has created the Golden Concept Diamond Edition, the world’s most expensive Apple Watch case. The case features 443 diamonds totaling over 4 carats set in a single block of titanium. Personally, I think it’s an eyesore, but I just saw my wife add it to her Christmas list, so I guess different strokes for different folks.

The luxury watch band only fits the Apple Watch Series 7 45mm model, and will presumably be obsolete with the upcoming announcement of the new Apple Watch 8, which I’m sure Apple will make either 44mm or 46mm just to ensure previous aftermarket products won’t be compatible. I’m on to you, Apple!

If you really do want one you better act fast, because Golden Concept is only making seven of them in total, which is seven too many if taste and decency actually prevailed in this world. Oh who am I kidding, it’s kind of growing on me.

This V12 Espresso Machine Is Made with Gold and Diamonds

Super Veloce is a German company that coffee machines inspired by aviation and motorsport. Among their luxurious, functional art pieces are a series of Formula 1 V12 engine espresso machines. This one is the deluxe model called the Espresso Veloce Royale 01.

The 62 pound metal machine is inspired by the V12 engine of Formula 1 race cars from the 1990s, and is made from a variety of metals including aerospace-grade aluminum, surgical stainless steel, silver, and titanium, but what really sets this edition apart are its much pricier materials. This over-the-top espresso maker also contains real 18-carat white gold, diamonds, amethyst gems, and thermoset carbon fiber, impregnated with gold leaf.

Each of these limited-edition machines comes with four matching espresso cups that are just as luxurious as the coffee maker itself. It’s perfect for wealthy automobile and caffeine lovers. Although we don’t know the exact price right now, you know what they say: “if you have to ask, you can’t afford it.”
