Peter Tanisman Carrousel Fantasia Watch

This watch is sort of like a baby's activity center - for adult women who love precious stones. The watch feautres a totally baguette diamond covered case, with a spinning cylinder at the bottom of the case that you can spin with your finger to get that "hand touching and turning emeralds, sapphires, and rubies sensation." Everything a developing high-society socialite requires. Behind the watch hands are columns with invididually set stones that move around with gravity. It's like an all too real version of Bejewelled on your wrist - this is the Peter Tanisman Carrousel Fantasia watch.

The case itself (not sure of the size), is in 18k white gold covered with 161 diamonds (10.86 carats). There are dozens of emeralds, rubies, and sapphires all over it. Inside the watch is most likely a Swiss quartz movement with the crown on the back. The strap is red-colored reptile with an 18k gold strap (that has more diamonds on it). The Carrousel Fantasia watch also comes in other styles with different stones and tones. This luxo-curio will be fun for a few minutes on the wrist.

Picture this: sunshine, white sandy beaches and beautiful music floating across the water. This idyllic scene takes place at the third annual Turks & Caicos Music and Cultural Festival on Providenciales July 31 to August 7, 2006. It's a perfect excuse to head to the Caribbean during months when most people are headed to other climates and see acts such as Ludacris, Fantasia and Steel Pulse. The Palms Resort offers a package to lure festival guests that starts at $300 per room per night and includes a seventh night for free when you stay for six. The Palms has luxury suites with balconies or terraces and a sparkling $1.8 million infinity pool which is a great place to chill out away from the festival.
