Jewelry watches are great gifts for those who can afford and if you have the money, one of the best jewelry watches this year is the Vacheron Constantin Kallania watch. Created in 18 karat white gold, it is the world’s thinnest mechanical movement watch with 186 beat set emerald cut diamonds embedded all across the watch, from the bracelet to the dial. This 1.64 mm height watch won the Best Jewelry Watch Award at this year’s Vogue Jewels Awards Show in Madrid, Spain. The cost of such a watch is around 5 million euros or close to 7 million dollars. That’s not too bad considering it’s the world’s thinnest jewelry watch with 170 carats of diamond. The record of the world’s most expensive watch belongs to Chopard. It had 3 diamonds incorporated in the watch: the pink is 15 carats, the blue is 12 carats, and the white diamond is 11 carats. The bracelets is encrusted with 163 carats of diamond, which makes the watch more like jewelry than time piece. The cost or value is 25 million dollars for this 201 carat jewelry watch. Estimated cost per carat is 125 thousand dollars.
There are jewelry watches that fit all kinds of budgets and one shouldn’t break the bank to purchase these timepieces. Casio has great fashion watches that start from around 18 dollars. You can even buy a peal watch for less than 60 dollars as well. Named brands like Cartier, Rolex, Patek Philippe and the like are pricier though but they do bring the craftsmanship which they are known for and do have a higher resale value.
