CONTEST: Win A VIP Trip To The Piaget Manufactures In Switzerland By Answering Only Ten Questions

We've given away a lot of cool stuff in our day, but this one, dear readers, will take the cake.

The goal of HODINKEE from the day we launched it was to bring the average reader closer to the people that make the watches that we all love so much. We've done this by filming high-definition video of some of the world's most exciting (and expensive) watches as presented by the men and women who have created them.

We've taken you inside some of the most historic watch manufactures in the world with unparalleled looks at what makes them so special. Today, we are taking things one step further. Instead of showing you what it's like to visit a premiere watch manufacture in Switzerland, we're going to take you there - literally, via one business class airplane ticket from wherever you are on this green earth.

In partnership with Piaget, the 100+ year old manufacture and producer of the world's thinnest automatic wristwatch, we are proud to offer one of you an all expenses paid visit to Switzerland. You will visit both Piaget's historical manufacture in La Cte-aux-Fes in the Jura Mountains, as well as the brand's beautiful Geneva headquarters where the movements are designed and cased.

The winner will have the opportunity to speak to the watchmakers behind the double record-setting Altiplano 43mm Au! tomatic, as well as the world's thinnest automatic tourbillon. In Geneva, the winner will also even get the chance to speak to Piaget global CEO Phlippe Lopold-Metzger. Included in the prize luxury accommodations while in Switzerland and a truly once in a lifetime haute horlogerie experience for any watch fan.

For more details on this incredible contest and the seven videos that will provide you with answers to these ten questions, click through.

Apart from these two jewels, other items belonging to Ruth Maddof were also sold, and they brought in a total of $2million. Bernie Maddof’s Rolex “Moon Phase” also went under the hammer for $67,500. A Steinway & Sons grand piano also brought in $42,000. The couple’s king-sized bed went for $2,250. Who bought the bed? Tally Wiener, the lawyer who helped liquidate Fairfield Sentry, a fund, which fed money into Madoff’s accounts before going under. He said he will offer the bed to Mrs. Madoff. Bernie’s velvet slippers with his initials stitched in gold thread were sold for an amazing $6,000. Some man even bought his unused box

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Eight Days Perpetual 16124SQ Watch Available On James List

Back in 2007 Jaeger-LeCoultre expelled this Master Eight Days Perpetual calendar (ref. 16124SQ) watch - as well as it still looks beautiful today. With an original cost of about $100,000 , there have been (relative) deals to be found today. The skeletonized black 'frosted' transformation is amazing to demeanour at, but you'll have to forgive the pattern for creation we hunt the bit for all the report which we have available upon the dial. The transformation tone is essentially due to ruthenium, as well as there have been pure discs all over the dial. Set in the 41mm wide 18k pinkish bullion "Master" pick up case, the watch nicely mixes classical Jaeger-LeCoultre cultured with the visible seductiveness of the complicated style skeletonized movement. Legibility is maintained through use of bullion hands as well as hour markers which contrast with the gray alternative elements which have been great. Jaeger-LeCoultre knows which people wearing the watch will be primar
