Super model, Gisele, is the Ebel ambassador to time, but you don't need someone this famous to see how luxurious these watches are, wow!

Ebel, who call themselves "the architects of time," have extensive lines of both men's and women's watches. I've selected a few below. Maybe it's time to hint around to you-know-who since the holidays are almost here.

Oh, something I thought was interesting on this site. Even though Ebel has a web site, they explain that you can't purchase any of their watches on line and that, in fact, if someone claims to be selling them through the Internet, then they are most likely fakes.

From the Beluga women's collection, here are some exquisite watches, and yes, by the way, I love Beluga carviar.


18kt gold and diamonds, mother-of-pearl dial


same watch, but this time 18kt white versus yellow gold


from the 1911 collection, 18kt pink gold, diamonds, and lapis
I think this one is my favorite.

Now for the guys...


steel, diamonds, Gator strap, from the Brasila collection
