I wanted to bring a watch to your attention, something I picked up this week. Through a little random web-surfing, I found a small company in North Carolina, owner-operated, called Bernhardt Watches. It's run by Fred B. (Bernhardt) Amos, who makes extremely small runs of really quality tool-style watches, with Swiss ETA movements mostly assembled here in The States.

Diamonds for diamonds sake? Maybe not. Don't overlook the importance of ludicrously gilded timepieces in the haute joaillerie watch category.

All that in a white gold case with a automatic tourbillon mechanical movement - and you might just start saving up gold bars for this over $1.3 million impulse buy.
