They look like candy, but they are priced like caviar. This is the new Alacria Royal collection from Carl F. Bucherer, and it is limited to just 25 pieces per each of the four models. The watch is a grand jewelry watch in the most traditional of means. They are meant to inspire awe and delight when looking at the jewel speckled surfaces and designs. The watches have diamonds and either blue sapphires, orange sapphires, emeralds, or diamonds. The cases are in 18k white gold, and delicately reverse tonneau shaped with pretty linked bracelets.
While the Alacria Royal watches are a bit hard to read in terms of telling the time, that is not their main purpose. These high fashion image watches demand attention with their unique and flashy designs. Oddly, there is a quartz movement in the watch as opposed to a mechanical movement. This is surprising from Carl F. Bucherer who takes such pride in their mechanical movements, but this is not uncommon for petite jewelry watches such as this. Due to the high level of gems on the on case, dial, and bracelet the Carl F. Bucherer Alacria Royal collection will retail from about $112k to $250 per watch.
