In the Boutique district of NYC (Madison Ave between 55-70, not to be confused with the Diamond district on 47th st) I came across two different high-end jewelers selling watches.  First is Buccelatti, whose somewhat classical designs in jewelry I've referenced before, with a heavily bejeweled piece.  I find it unattractive, but somewhat in keeping with their designs

In case the size isn't clear, the Tourbillon named "Mastergraff" has a DLC (Diamond-like Carbon) coated case an a diameter of 47mm.

First is hideous, but I find the second quite nice -- very elegant geometrics...
