Berco's most expensive popcorn
Berco’s Billion dollar popcorn created a golden shower version, making it the most expensive the world over.
Ingredients: Organic sugar for caramel, Butter (from Vermont Creamery), Nielsen Massey Bourbon Vanilla, the world’s most expensive salt, Laeso and garnished with 23K edible gold flakes.
Laeso is a particular salt that has been derived by processes which are over 1000 years old, and are traced back to the Danish Island of Laeso. Since production is limited to this small, procuring the same becomes rather difficult, thus making the variety rather expensive. However, the rates for this variety of popcorn are as follows: 1 Quart: $100, 1 Gallon: $250, 2 Gallons: $500, 6.5 Gallons: $1,000.
Custom Tin: For the popcorn-lovers who want them all, the company also offers a option to order a "Custom Tin." You can select any three different flavors of these gourmet popcorns and split them just the way you you want.

This piece builds off of previous innovations and design motifs to result in this interesting looking timepiece.
The Caliber 9458 powering the Cadran Lové Tourbillon is a variant of an already existing tourbillon (the ladies “Alligator Tourbillon”) but the watch itself is decidedly masculine, i.e. with sculpted Roman numerals rather than a pave diamond crocodile.
The tourbillon is actually a “flying tourbillon”, a complicated execution of the tourbillon in which the tourbillon carriage seems to “fly” on bridges.
Cartier connoisseurs will recognize the Roman Numeral design from to that used on the Santos skeleton watches in prior years.
