I’m not sure I’d buy a watch called ‘The Quenttin’. It’s about as exciting as buying one called ‘The Brian’ or ‘The Nigel’. Still, it is far better looking that any Quenttin has a right to be and would, literally, set you back the cost of your home.
Built by Jacobs & Co, the darlings of celebs and taste-free rappers, The Quenttin is a beautiful looking piece of machinery. And, because it costs so much, you get to see all that miniature wizardry at work.
The case comes in 18K white gold, rose gold or even magnesium and are limited to 99 of the white gold and just 18 each for the rose gold and magnesium editions. Platinum versions can be requested by those for whom the value of money has long ago lost all meaning.

nice watch, but why do you need all the overpriced gems and metals and such. perhaps if it didnt have these and only had the mechanics, i may be able to remortgage the house or sell the car to marvel at one, as opposed to having to sell my sould to satan and my family to slavery.
Soul & family? So it doesn't actually cost ME anything? Where do I sign?
I think you got that wrong dave, the 40 Jewels aren't for decor they are needed by the mechanic, as bearing stones for the Tourbillion and other faster moving wheels.
Nice design although, much too thick to actually wear.
the size of the digits are like 3mm so does it come with a magnifying glass dongle, even the company logo is bigger, its something like a 14" HDTV would be .... pointless
I bet it doesn't keep time any better than a watch from WAL-MART.
link to the schematics? heh.
hundres of thousands it costs, 40 jewels, lots of nice metal ....
and a rubber strap?????
Ridiculous, allegedly wildly overpriced and hard to read. And the lack of an auto-winder will be a problem after 31 days.
Sometimes people forget that such things are meant to be functional. I can think of more functional watches for massively cheaper prices - and my wife would still complain in that brave way she has.
I'll just keep paying my house off.

how much does it cost?
