Say hello to the new and luxurious watch collection from Daniel Strom, the Agonium Luxury Skull Watch Collection.

Entitled the Memento Mori, Carpe Diem collection (remember you will die, so seize the day), these watches are essentially a work of art with the finest materials used to make your custom skull timepiece.

The watch is a work of art with the case available in a choice of finest materials: sterling silver, palladium, redgold, platinum, diamonds and it can even be custom made to match your taste. The watch features an inner case made from stainless steel.

The watch dial is available in black or bone white and is completed with Roman numerals and polished steel-hands, presented in white or black. On its front side the case is armed with an anti-glare double curved sapphire crystal and the watch is 50-meter water-resistant, with a mechanical self-winding movement. The watch comes with an alligator hornback strap, in black finished with a buckle, done in silver 925, gold, palladium or platinum. The platinum version is the most expensive with a $57,896 price tag, while the starting silver model from the collection will cost $8,272. So, you have a wide range to choose one that fits your budget and taste.

Two special introductions this year are the new Superocean and the Breitling for Bentley Supersports. The Supersports is named after Bentley’s most powerful performance car and is limited to only 1,000 pieces worldwide. The Superocean dives into the depths of the oceans in five different hues. The Chronomat B01, which was introduced last year, proved to be their number one watch for 2009 in its first year. This special timepiece is motored by Breitling’s 100% in-house movement.

Crafted in steel and issued in a worldwide limited edition of 1,000, the Bentley Supersports series carries a bezel adorned with an elegant raised and knurled motif evoking the characteristic design of Bentley controls. Beneath the ultra-sporty, powerful bodywork beats an exclusive Breitling for Bentley motor chronometer. It is complemented by a 12-hour counter and a central scale with hundredth of an hour or hundredth of a minute graduations. The dashboard-style dial features a “variable tachometer” with circular slide rule. The Bentley Supersports is fitted with a rubber strap or a speed bracelet ensuring a perfect hold on the wrist.

In the fall, Breitling will open a new store in New York. For more information, visit www.breitlingusa.com.

Featuring a design combination of the new Cabestan Nostromo and the existing Cabestan Winch Vertical Tourbillon, Scuderia Ferrari One is equipped with carbon fiber in the middle bridge section and probably uses Ferrari materials used in seats or steering wheels to make the strap. Priced at $300,000, this masterpiece will be a limited edition of 60 pieces and will be available only to Ferrari clients.

Before Gandhi died, he gifted his grandniece and assistant, Abha Gandhi, his Zenith alarm pocket watch which soon after entered into a private collection.

The 1910-1915 watch is not in the best of conditions, but with a timepiece such as this you have to decide if it should remain in antique disrepair or if you prefer Gandhi’s watch to be restored to its original, working state.

The auction for the watch alone is expected to go between $200,000 & $30,000.

According to Evelyn Lincoln, JFK’s personal secretary, she found the watch at his desk following his assassination and presented it to wife Jackie Onassis.

In March, the timeless timepiece will go up for auction at the Antiquorum and is expected to go for between $150,000-200,000.

This Christmas will see Joe DiMaggio’s watch hit the auction block.  A Wittnauer Electro-Chron, this is the very first watch of its class, being the first to require a battery, and the last of its class, requiring a tuning fork.

Joe’s watch is engraved on the back with the words:

Old Timers’ Day
7-28-62
Joe DiMaggio

The watch will reportedly go for between $10,000 – $12,000 when the auction takes place at the Antiquorum later this month.

In March 2009, Milan will host one of the most appreciated Rolex collections.  Davide Blei, Rolex enthusiast extraordinaire, acquired throughout his life only “exquisite, rare and unique” examples of Rolex watches.

The highlight of the auction is a pink gold “Stelline” Oyster Perpetual Chronometer watch that is estimated to go for $320,000. 

Sounds like an auction not to be missed.
