"The Ultramarinum Marine watch, made by Swiss company Horus, promises to give its owners 'the power of time.' By pressing a button, the company promises, 'the owner can play with the seconds, minutes and hours and make them follow the pace of his or her choice, then return to current time at any point.'The idea is that millionaires can enjoy the illusion of being in a slower or faster world, by making their watch faster or slower. If they are sunbathing and want to pretend the world has stopped moving, they can even stop the time. When they need to return to the real world – or find out the correct time – they push a button and the watch returns to normal."
The cost? A modest $668,000. Don't be alarmed. You can probably haggle 'em down to $650,000.
