We finally learned how Apple will price its first-generation Apple Watch: It will start at $350 (Rs 34,000), and range all the way up to $17,000 (Rs 10.7 lakh).

But you haven't yet seen the Dream Watch 5 from Swiss watchmaker De Bethune, which its founder David Zanetta calls, "the future". With polished titanium and sweeping angles that make it look like a spaceship, the Dream Watch 5 costs a whopping $162,000 (Rs 1.02 crore).

The Dream Watch 5 shows the hours, minutes, and even a spherical indicator showing the moon's phase. The titanium has a mirror-like finish, and the band is made of "extra-supple alligator leather" with a pin buckle.

In a limited edition of just 10, De Bethune's Dream Watch 5 is more than nine times more expensive than the Apple Watch — but it still can't show you texts and notifications, let you make calls, or track your heart rate. This watch is less about functionality and more about fashion and fantasy.
