With a $5m price-tag and 1,292 diamonds watch

A Swiss watchmaker unveiled today what is believed to be the world's most expensive timepiece.

Hublot's new watch, which has a price tag of $5million, dazzles with a staggering 140 carats of diamonds, all set in white gold.

The precious stones cover the entire face, as well as the band, giving an appearance more akin to fine jewellery than practical accessory.

Six of the 1,292 diamonds weigh more than three carats each.

The amount of craftsmanship involved is also impressive. The company, which is owned by French fashion giant LVMH, revealed that it took 17 people 14 months to design and make the watch.
