4) Breguet Grande Complication Marie Antoinette - $30 million
Marie Antoinette was fond of Breguet watches and purchased several, including a perpetual calendar watch with an automatic winding device. In 1783, a mysterious admirer commissioned Breguet to create the most spectacular watch ever, which took 34 years to complete and was named "Marie Antoinette." Despite the queen's death, this complex watch became a legendary masterpiece in the world of watchmaking and collectors. In 2004, Nicolas G. Hayek challenged Breguet to reproduce the watch, leading to four years of research and reconstruction to create an exact replica of the original. The new "Marie Antoinette" is a perpetual calendar watch with full perpetual calendar, minute repeater and various other features, with 823 finely finished components, all housed in a luxurious case made of Versailles oak.

2) Graff Diamonds The Fascination - $40 million
The "Fascination" watch incorporates 152.96 carats of the finest white diamonds. An interchangeable D Flawless pear-shaped 38.13-carat diamond can be worn as a bracelet or inserted into a custom-made stem and worn as a ring. The watch was unveiled at Baselworld 2015, the Basel luxury fair, as the "world's most valuable transformable timepiece." This can in fact also be worn as a bracelet or ring: this is possible thanks to sophisticated mechanisms that allow the design to be changed. The center stone is a 38.13-carat pear-cut pure diamond (D Flawless).

Bees play a vital role in the ecosystem, pollinating plants and ensuring food production. Bees provide us with valuable products that have been used for millennia in both cooking and body care such as honey, pollen, royal jelly, propolis, wax, and even poison.
However, bees are threatened from many sources, including habitat loss, pesticide use and climate change.
It is important that we all take steps to protect bees and their environment.
In this photo gallery, we offer eight practical tips to save bees.

It may sound like a trivial question, but in fact it is not trivial at all; on the contrary, it holds within it very important physical and philosophical questions. The Washington Post noted that this question is stirring up some of the people on Twitter these days.
The debate was generated by a tweet from journalist Jacqui Deevoy, who wondered how it was possible that the sun had 'changed colour' from what she remembered as a child. The answer, however, is one that leaves one somewhat appalled, as there is no real unequivocal answer.
After all, children do not make a mistake by drawing the sun as a big yellow ball, but it is not a completely right answer. After all, light is just the perception of the wavelength of radiation emitted by the sun, and therein lies the whole secret.
