It's the Tourbillon Minute Repeating watch from Corum.  I love the clear face where you can see all the gear and hardware of the watch.  These watches are handcrafted and only 25 of these were made.  The Tourbillon was invented in 1795 to neutralize the effects of gravity on the accuracy of a watch.  The list price on this beauty is $465,000, but Ashford has it on sale &lt;a href="http://www.ashford.com/product_info.php?products_id=9860@Ashford&amp;amp;qid=" rel="nofollow"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; for only $216,457.50.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4501199741172306129-6358677690374890802?l=www.jewelryblog.us' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.jewelryblog.us/2009/08/corum-tourbillon-mens-watch.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dave)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kh9ypUOWSUI/Spq3XyBpykI/AAAAAAAAABI/zA18EGmvDlc/s72-c/corum+watch%27.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501199741172306129.post-4260068901707491819</guid><pubDate>Sun, 30 Aug 2009 17:12:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-30T10:30:12.723-07:00</atom:updated><title>Bridal Necklace</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kh9ypUOWSUI/SpqzQTE-RWI/AAAAAAAAABA/vIDebMPHOHU/s1600-h/Bridal-Necklace-04.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 172px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kh9ypUOWSUI/SpqzQTE-RWI/AAAAAAAAABA/vIDebMPHOHU/s200/Bridal-Necklace-04.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375806197800519010" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This beautiful bridal necklace is handmade by the folks at Kincaid Designs.

'Mokume gane' means wood grain metal. Various layers of metal are fused together using high pressure and heat. The resulting metal is then carved and twisted to create some very interesting designs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once the metal is patterned, it can be made into rings, bracelets, earrings.....etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of my favorite artiste is Steve Midgett (&lt;a href="http://www.mokume.com/" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.mokume.com&lt;/a&gt;) .
