8 Of The Most Expensive Luxury Gadgets You Can Buy

We all love gadgets don’t we? They make our lives easier – and more fun – and give us something cool to talk about and show off to our friends. The more ingenious the better when it comes to the ease, fun and cool factors.

So, if you had the budget and wanted to know how to spend it, what are the biggest and best gadgets money can buy? Here’s eight to stick right at the top of your shopping list:

Equil Pen

No-one’s armoury is complete without a pen, but this gadget transforms the humble writing tool into a top of the range gadget. The £120/130 price puts it above the cost of your average Biro, but that’s because the Equil Smartpen is much more than that. This allows you to take notes and sketches that you make on pieces of paper, or even napkins, and upload them to an app so that you can edit them on a computer, tablet or mobile. It’s perfect for the person who gets a flash of inspiration when out and about.

Stellé Audio Pillar

All gadget-lovers like a sound system, but speakers can spoil the look of a classy living room. That’s where this Stellé Audio Pillar comes in. This is all about making a stylish feature from your sound system and comes in a range of classy finishes and designs.

EIP laser turntable

Vinyl is enjoying a renaissance at the moment but music lovers might well want to embrace the surging popularity of LPs while avoiding the dangers of scratches from a needle on their precious albums. This set does just that, using lasers to replicate the sound and effect of normal turntable. It costs $15,000 but it’s the ultimate mix of new and old.

iPad 2 Gold History

An Apple logo in 24-carat gold, 53 flawless diamonds and a front frame made from 75 million year old Ammolite: this iPad from Stuart Hughes is the ultimate Apple device. It sells for $5 million-plus.

Kohler Numi toilet

Gadgets really can enhance every part of your life. Don’t believe it? Check out this toilet. It is fully controlled by a touch screen, with the ability to lift and heat the seat and add music and lighting to your toilet experience.

C Seed 201

You can always dream of a television that is even bigger and better than the one you’ve got. You’d struggle, though, to dream of one much bigger than the C Seed 201, with its gargantuan 201-inch screen. Designed by Light House Technologies and Porsche Design Studios, it costs $670,000. Panasonic isn’t far behind with its 152-inch plasma TV. Both are perfect for the ultimate home cinema experience.

TAG Heuer Android powered smartphone

Watches are the quintessential ‘gadget’ in many ways and now, thanks to smart technology, have had a big upgrade. TAG Heuer’s watch is a tantalising tie-up with Intel and Google and the end result is every bit as spectacular as you’d hope. Most satisfying is the fact that the digital screen apes that of its beautiful analogue timepieces. This costs about $1,100.

Victorinox 1 TV Swiss Army knife

Technology has even crept into the Swiss Army Knife, that iconic analogue gadget. This $3,000 model comes with all of the usual functions as well as a USB stick.
