The world’s most expensive wrist watch, encrusted with 1,282 diamonds, was unveiled by Swiss watchmaker Hublot, according to a report by AFP.



The price? $5 million.

The white-gold watch was revealed this week at the world's biggest watch show, Baselworld Watch and Jewellery Show in Basel, Switzerland.

According to the AFP report, it took 17 people at Hublot 14 months to set the more than 140 carats of diamonds on the watch.

Jean-Claude Biver, president of the watch company, told AFP that it would be difficult to make a more expensive watch "because the surface of the watch is limited."

A quick perusal of Hublot’s website reveals that the company takes pride in over-the-top designs. The company has an entire section reserved for “World Firsts.”

Biver also said that several people have expressed interest in acquiring it. He didn’t provide details.

crazy and too dangerous to wear out in public.

If your car gets a flat tire, please remove that watch before changing it.

Yeah but does it tell the time? And stay on time?

[Pyramid_Head]

It looks really tacky and cheap to me. I can find a lot better of things to do with $5 million.

[GanjaLoco]

Jay-Z like to wear this while he cooks up crack.

That's beautiful but guess what? My Timex sports watch from Wal Mart tells the same time as that I can wear it in public without fearing it being stolen.
