Filed under: Watches, WTF

Nubeo boasts that it has created the world’s most complex watch case (given all the parts), with overall designs of the watches being influenced by Jellyfish and the ocean environment.  At least three limited edition Nubeo Black Mamba watches will be made available – each with different amounts of decoration.

The most limited in number will be the pictured Black Mamba MVP, which has rings of baguette cutsapphire crystals which have a “Whiskey” color.

The 48mm wide case is made from black titanium (with some DLC coating) and ceramic – while black sapphires frame two of the chronograph subsidiary dials on the face. Inside is an automatic mechanical movement of undisclosed origin. The banner pictured model will go for about $285,000, less for the models without as many sapphires. It is true that the economic status quo does not make it an ideal time for a new luxury watch release, but with limited numbers and niche market appeal, Nubeo (and Bryant) are confident in the Black Mamba’s market success.

Prices for the Black Mamba watches strap at about $25,000 (more for the black sapphire stone covered models).
