Perhaps a special kind of synthetic sapphire? The post Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic Yellow Neon Saxem: Reflections of a Laser Physicist on ‘Saxem’ appeared first on Quill & Pad.

From the Editor: How Luxury Watches are Being Used for Money Laundering

Money laundering is a complex and illicit process through which illegally obtained funds are made to appear legitimate by passing them through a series of transactions. The goal of money laundering is to obscure the origins of the funds, making it difficult for authorities to trace their source. This process enables criminals to enjoy the financial gains of their illegal activities without raising suspicion. Additionally, governments have set limits on how much currency or monetary instruments can be taken across borders from one country to another. Nowadays, luxury watches should be considered monetary instruments as some of them are worth millions of US Dollars and it is very easy to cross borders without any implications. Additionally, I will explain how watch auctions can be used for money launder.
