Wednesday: Cabasse La Sphere ($200,000)

Now it is sound’s turn to enter in the expensive list. Meet the Cabasse La Sphere.

Looks pretty nice huh? Yea, but look at the price! $200,000…for that you could get a house or even an awesome pool table (seriously, its an interactive pool table and it looks pretty darn cool).

Buy these 1m 40cm puppies and not only have you got some speakers but Christoph Cabasse the founder’s son, will come to you, say a lil’ thank you and install the system – ahhh there’s your $200,000, its his cost to fly over in his super transformer jet to see you – how kind.

I am no expert in sound so a good £100 set will do me fine, but they’re just extortionate. Their design is pretty cool though, all eyeball shaped speaker sitting on its interweaving stand, a centre piece to any room I’m sure.

Price: $200,000 

Tuesday: Devon Tread 1 Watch (£10,999)

So yesterday was an awesome water powered jetpack which would make any gadget fan begin to salivate, today, well, lets just say you may need to grab a couple of buckets becuase we are onto watches.

Most gadget blogs who look at luxury watches go for the diamond encrusted ones (like Ushers‘ diamond one), they are surely going to have a high price tag, I mean anything would if they were covered in those stones. I’m putting in a watch that gets rid of hands, a circle face and heck, its got rid of the cogs too. This watch is it’s own, this watch is the Devon Tread 1 Watch.

Look at it! No stop reading this…look at it! How amazing it that huh? This watch has redesigned how a watch looks and functions mainly via its unique “patent pending system of interwoven time belts” (few! what a mouthful) says the Devon website. The belts look as though they “float” as they move independently to tell the time, each belt moves smoothly in tune with one another resulting in an awe inspiring design marvelling time peace.

There are no gears that move hands, instead microprocessors (yes, it can be classed as a computer) drive the four micro-step belts. Micro step simply means that the belts move like a second hand, one number at a time with a satisfyingly loud tick from the second belt.

Well, I wouldn’t send it back it it accidentally got posted to me, I’m just saying.

Price: £10,999

 

Monday: JetLev Flyer (£115,000 aprox.)

 Want to make frolicking in the water much more fun? If yes, then this gadget is for you! (if you can afford it that is)

 

This water powered jetpack is no toy, it uses highly pressurised water to propel you above the water with a power of 420lbf (1,850N). JetLev say that the flight controls are “simple and intuitive” but by the looks of things you do need some lessons, so the price then goes up again to include them I assume. The jetpack is controlled by twisting its throttle grip which alters your thrust levels, changing the nozzle angles alters the turning as well as weight shifting from side-to-side.

  Don’t get ahead of yourself though, you won’t be jetting off to work in one of these to avoid the 9am rush hour, oh no. You are limited to being only on water via it’s flexible water hose. As well as limiting your height the hose also provides you with the water (your fuel essentially) which is attached to an unmanned boat sitting on the water. This boat houses the engine powered pump which jets the water through the nozzles. The hose is simply your tether to keep you controlled and close to the ground, well, when I say close I mean 10m!

  This jet powered flying water machine is only a mere £115 grand, better get saving those pennies!

Gadgets With an Expensive Price Tag

  Ok, so you have just bought your super yacht that is docked in Monaco as we speak at a cost of, oh I don’t know, just over a £100m. What now? Chill with your family perhaps? Get an early night because your at work tomorrow? (oops, I forgot, you don’t need to work) Of course not! There are more items you want!

  Every day this week a new luxury gadget will be posted, the ones that Mr. X above can afford to buy without a blink of an eye while the rest of us can only dream about owning…ahh oh well.

  So come back every day this week to see what you wont have.
