Tycoon: I Have an Unlimited Modifier novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78: Chapter 76: Shouldering a Heavy Burden

The third floor of the International Gold Center was packed with all kinds of high-end watch brands.

Rolex, Vacheron Constantin, Roger Dubuis, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and other luxury watch brands were all among them.

Qi Sheng’s budget was more than ample, so he was looking at watches in the million-plus price range.

If he wanted a Patek Philippe, he would have to go to the Capital City or Shanghai, as Chengdu didn’t have an authorized dealership.

Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin, on the other hand, both had boutiques, so he could check them out one by one.

But before he could get to those two stores, he passed by the Roger Dubuis boutique and was instantly rooted to the spot.

The Roger Dubuis brand wasn’t as famous as Richard Mille.

But it was still an extremely high-end, top-tier watch brand.

Their Knights of the Round Table and Excalibur series were both very avant-garde in design, each with its own unique character.

But what caught Qi Sheng’s eye this time was a superwatch from the Excalibur racing series, jointly developed and designed by Roger Dubuis and Lamborghini’s motorsports division.

The Excalibur series best represents Roger Dubuis’s design style.

The Aventador, in turn, was the pinnacle of performance among Lamborghini’s production sports cars, priced at nearly ten million.

One could only imagine how stunning the resulting Excalibur Aventador S watch—a combination of the two—was.

The watch’s blue rubber-coated case and crown, along with its carbon fiber fluted bezel adorned with blue markings, were fantastically beautiful.

The black DLC-coated titanium crown, overlaid with blue rubber, felt incredible to the touch.

The entire watch was made from C-SMC carbon fiber, the same material used by Lamborghini, making it incredibly lightweight.

In terms of weight, it was in a completely different league from a typical everyday watch.

Roger Dubuis’s designers had intentionally designed a transparent "engine hood" in the center of the watch, which had become its core signature feature.

’In a word: badass!’

As a watch with a starting price in the millions, it was naturally equipped with the brand’s proprietary in-house movement.

The moment Qi Sheng laid eyes on it, he was completely captivated by the unique timepiece.

Roger Dubuis pulled the same stunt as Richard Mille—everything was a limited edition of a limited edition.

They seemed intent on making every single watch a one-of-a-kind, priceless collector’s item.

The watch had a list price of 1.58 million, and you usually had to pre-order to get one.

Qi Sheng was just lucky to even see it.

A customer had recently canceled their order.

It had been on display in the store for less than an hour.

With a worldwide limited run of only 88 pieces, the watch was in extremely high demand.

Someone had already spoken to the store manager and asked him to hold it for them.

Qi Sheng didn’t hesitate. He offered an extra 120,000 on the spot and simply bought it out from under them.

When he used to read those novels about super-rich protagonists, they all seemed to love buying Richard Mille watches, treating them as some kind of "billionaire’s entry ticket."

But Qi Sheng just couldn’t get the appeal of Richard Mille’s aesthetics.
