Chopard's Tigers eye watches can fetch tens of thousands at auction. Now in its 158th year, Chopard is one of the world's most renowned watchmakers. Their elegant pieces combine watchmaking precision with jewellery designs. Founded by Louis-Ulysse Chopard in 1860, by 1912 what would come to be Chopard revolutionized the way pocket-watches were designed, allowing the owner to wear the watch as a necklace or a bracelet.
Another Swiss watchmaker, Frank Muller's watches are inspired by American watch designs of the 1930s. After honing his craft working with some of the most complicated watch designs in the world, Muller had an ever-growing client list that led him to launch The House of Franck Muller in 1991.

Montegrappa created the Chaos pen for Sylvester Stallone, who is on the board of Montegrappa. The flamboyant were handmade in northern Italy by Montegrappa's skilled craftsmen.
Montegrappa CEO Giuseppe Aquila said of the piece: ''Without a doubt, the Montegrappa Chaos watch is a one of a kind piece with an attitude and a style all its own, much like its designer. Montegrappa is pleased to continue collaborating with Mr Stallone as our brand ambassador. With a popular line of pens, cufflinks, and even a crystal inkwell, it was only natural that we introduce an exclusive timepiece as part of the Chaos line. The newly-released video experience allows the viewer to appreciate the artistry of Chaos, guided by Mr Stallone’s own voice.''
