Top 10 Accessories: Diamond-Encrusted Phones to $6 Million Home-Theater Systems

 

Let's dream.

Any thoughts of money-is-no-object purchases have dissolved, along with trillions of dollars of wealth, in the past year.

Which is why this story is necessary. For our emotions, at least. Here's our exclusive list of the top 10 accessories and gadgets to own in 2009. We pick the best and most exclusive car, watch, briefcase, vodka, overcoat, suit, cell phone, home-entertainment system, laptop and personal digital assistant (PDA). We show you how to spend fashionably. If you've got the money. If not, just dream.

Car: For super-limited road access, concentrate your money on the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport, the world's fastest roadster. Offering a 16-cylinder four-wheel-drive setup, this speed demon accelerates to 62 miles per hour in only 2.5 seconds, and tops out at about 250 miles per hour. The Sang Noir version, French for "black blood," provides a unique single-tone-take on Bugatti's classic two-tone color scheme. Inside, tangerine leather is highlighted by a black piano lacquer finish. The non-limited edition Veyron 16.4 sells for around $1.5 million.

Watch: Based in the Mecca of watch-making that is Geneva, Switzerland, Vacheron Constantin has specialized in haute horlogerie since before the U.S. was a nation. This year, the company offers four exquisite watches that highlight the highest skills in fine craftsmanship. The Kallania provides a new world record in terms of precious stones, featuring 186 emerald-cut diamonds weighing approximately 170 carats, while the the Malte Tourbillon Regulator features 565 baguette diamonds and a transparent sapphire crystal back that exposes the 1795R calibre, allowing the watch to keep impeccable time.
