Made by Swiss watchmaker Romain Jerome, The Moon Dust Watch is the only gadget on this list so far that has piqued our interest.

Most men would have a hard enough time convincing their other halves that an Xbox 360 console is an essential household item to start with (even though it is). So imagine the uphill battle a bloke would have if he bought this item: an Xbox 360 skinned in 43,000 crystals depicting Tomb Raider's Lara Croft, which costs $11,000 (or around £6,670)
