1937 Talbot Lago

  One of history's finest forms of automotive sculpture, this Talbot Lago premiered at the Paris Auto Show in 1937. It is one of only 14 made in France with this "teardrop" body style, by coachbuilders Figoni et Falaschi Carrosseriers. Germany's occupation of France brought production to a halt, but all 14 survive to day. Singer Tommy Lee ordered three when he saw it at the New York Auto Show. Another owner, U.S. Olympic bobsledder Freddy McVoy, set a Paris-to-Cannes speed record in his. This particular car was originally purchased by Dr. Masquefa, who kept it in Algiers until 1981. The rare Talbot's current owner, William Conner II, bought it in 1995, had it completely restored over the next two years, and entered it into the 1997 Concours d'Elegance in Pebble Beach - where it won "Best of Show." Retail price: $1,750,000.      

Limited Edition Corum Tourbillon

  Only 25 pieces of this superbly crafted limited edition 18K rose gold skeleton watch from Corum were made. It features a manual wind J3910 Swiss Tourbillon movement, 90-hour power reserve, and sapphire crystal. It also has a crocodile strap and 18K rose gold buckle. Retail price: $130,000.
