Most Expensive Watches

The most expensive watches in the world seem to shift rather frequently up and down the “top ten” pole as rumors of which has more jewels, who owns which one and where each one is race around the Web and amongst those in the know. The history of watches is well seasoned with the tales of the most expensive watches in eras past and present.

The World’s Most Expensive Watches

It is a well known fact that both high end watch makers and those who endorse them (celebrities, industry moguls, socialites, etc.) are in a constant race to one-up eachother. Often times, a celebrity with a great deal of disposable income or an unnamed source will finance the making of the world’s next “most expensive watch.”

The Henry Graves Supercomplication

The quintessential example of watchmaker patron battles is the epic competition between carmaker James Ward Packard and railroading and banking uber mogul, Henry Graves. Packard commissioned Patek, his signature watchmaker, to create a watch for him that would be the most extraordinary pocket watch ever t grace the Earth. The two multimillionaires battled it out for several years until at last, Graves won out over Packard, taking home the one of a kind Supercomplication. The grandfather of all pocket watches watch was auctioned off on December 2, 1999 at Southeby’s in New York and went home with an anonymous bidder to the tune of $11,030,000.

Brands That Shape the High End Market

The top 10 most expensive watch makers in the world are as follows. Keep in mind that from year to year and often even season to season, the order will change as new timepieces are released by the crafters.

1. Vacheron Constantin
2. Blancpain
3. Audemars Piguet
4. Girard-Perregaux
5. ChronoSwiss
6. Chopard
7. Jaeger-LeCoultre
8. International Watch Company
9. Omega
10. Breguet

There are, of course, other lesser known watch making houses all over Switzerland, Italy and France. These smaller and lesser known watch makers often have an even more highly sought after timepiece which will inevitably be worth more because it is either one of a kind or it is one of very few.
