Jaeger-LeCoultre Watch To Be Destroy

Jaeger-LeCoultre Watch To Be Destroy








A collector's watch will be destroyed in 15 days if a $340,000 ransom is not met, according to SoKoBe.com. The jewelry company said its prized Gyrotourbillon 1 watch by Jaeger-LeCoultre was stolen by a masked villain.

New Gyrotourbillon 1 watch by Jaeger-LeCoultre held for randsom of $340,000.

"We are completely devastated to think that such a rare creation could be lost forever," said Rudi Merom, online director for SoKoBe.com.

The villain has confirmed a 15-day deadline for the $340,000 ransom to be met, according to SoKoBe. Whoever pays the ransom by June 16 will keep the Jaeger-LeCoultre watch.

"We would rather see the watch in the hands of someone who values it rather than see it destroyed," Merom said.

The Gyrotourbillon watch is like a work of art, as it is one of only 75 in the world, according to SoKoBe.com. The world's leading watch auctioneer recently sold a used Gyrotourbillon watch for approximately $312,805. The new Gyrotourbillon held for ransom is worth $400,000.
