The intricacy of watch design is often astounding, and we love a good look at the movement of a beautiful watch. Which is why we also love it when a watchmaker comes out with a piece that shows off the complication. The new Malte Tourbillon Caliber 2790 SQ is an openworked watch designed to show wearers exactly what goes on behind the scenes of their wrist candy. Each watch takes approximately 540 hours of meticulous crafstmanship to create the three-dimensional structure of its 246 separate pieces. If the attention to detail weren't enough, the mosaic features several components that were created to emulate the brand's signature cross.

The Malte Tourbillon Caliber 2790 SQ is available for purchase at select Vacheron Constantin boutiques worldwide, starting at around $230,000.

Fashion is one of those rare things that allows you to say everything without speaking a single word. Designer shoes are just a form of this unspoken sartorial communication, but it’s one so subtle that only other sneakerheads are likely to pick up on it. And it’s this understated luxury that makes tennis shoes so appealing—at least to us. Over the years with the release of exclusive collaborations, limited-edition lines and one-off collections that sell out in mere minutes, it’s easy to see how collectors can drop thousands of dollars on sneakers. But there are plenty of designer kicks that cost just as much, if not more, then pre-owned, special-edition Jordans. The only difference is you don’t have to spend months on resale sites trying to hunt down your preferred size, color and brand. Here are the most expensive kicks you can still own. None of these bad boys have sold out—yet.
