They haven't even announced the price yet - but you know what - CAN'T AFFORD IT! Still bling though...]]>
MV Agusta watchLike most self-respecting motorcycle manufacturers, MV Agusta  has decided to launch a watch. Other manufacturers, including Ducati, Harley and BMW all have their own watches, usually produced by upmarket watchmakers.
MV Agusta’s watch is being produced by one of the most upscale manufacturers, Swiss (where else?) JEANRICHARD.

The “MV 75 World Champion” collection was specially developed in honor of MV Agusta’s 75 international competition victories. It is composed of three chronograph models in gold, steel and titanium. Limited editions of 75 in pink gold, 175 in titanium and 575 in steel will be produced.

The series number is engraved on the back of each watch, alongside the MV Agusta logo adorning the sapphire crystal that enables one to admire the exquisite finishing of the JEANRICHARD movement, decorated with the Côtes de Genève motif.

No prices published (but if you have to ask, you can’t afford it).

Check. 3 super models? Check. Diamond crusted cell phone? Check. Now, what to wear on my wrist...]]> It’s the Bugatti Type 370 watch, and it is truly a work of art. It even won the 2006 Watch of the Year award from the Japanese press. The initial goal was to make the watch only available to Bugatti Veyron owners, since it is a driving watch, themed after the car company. However, the huge demand for this watch has made cause for its release upon the general public instead of the select few who own one of those highly coveted $1.25mil+ cars.

The watch uses a very unique transversal movement with a vertical watch face, so you can look at it while driving, instead of looking at the clock in the Bugatti Veyron, the one that also cost a small fortune. The watch does need wound every 10 days, but there is a battery powered device that does that for you.

So the car is over a million dollars, how much do you think the watch made for it is? If you guessed $280,000 you guessed right, but your guess is as good as mine as to how a watch that costs that much had such a high demand they couldn’t keep it exclusive.

This watch has been out for a while, but it’s still crazy good looking.

“Hublot’s very latest Big Bang, produced in a limited edition in association with the name of Ayrton Senna. On 18st October, the Swiss watchmaker will be presenting to the public the splendid Chronograph Split-Second with Power Reserve indicator, cloaked in black and adorned with Ayrton Senna’s signature in red and the Brazilian flag in green and yellow. A timekeeper that’s already a legend in the making.”

RUN YOU WEASEL BASTARD, RUN! Oh - the watch. Yea, it's cool. It's kind of a modern version of the watch in Blue Thunder. Blue Thunder that was a great movie. Did you ever watch Airwolf? My name is the same as an international terrorist on that show. Think I can find reruns of ATeam? I'm lonely...]]> The LED-loving, standard clock face-defying Tokyoflash is back with its latest creation, the Rogue ($155). Made from stainless steel in either a polished silver or black finish, the Rogue features green LED lights in a circular pattern, with the outer ring of small dots representing minutes, the ring of large blocks representing rough minutes, and the inner ring of blocks representing hours. Interesting, innovative, and stylish, the Rogue will make a great fit with any wardrobe.
