We all love nature, especially when we see it up close, but would you pay £900 for a pair of binoculars inspired by the magic of our big blue planet?
Chances are, no.
Luxury bling retailer Swarovski are upping their Christmas game this year with a pair of optic binoculars that cost roughly three quarters of the average UK pay cheque (around £1,983 a month after tax, in case you’re wondering).
Made for those who are always on the go, the compact glass eyes have been made so that the world’s globetrotters can spot everything from the stars to wildlife, jitter free.
Taking inspiration from the Northern Lights, urban jungle and wild nature, the binoculars come in three designs along with a bespoke accessory package, kitted out with a field bag.
Why are they so expensive, though? It’s all about the magnification. Available in either 8x or 10x magnification, you’re guaranteed to see for miles upon miles, coast to coast, island to island and so on.
In addition to the binoculars, the Austrian company also has the Interior Spotting Scope on offer. Price? A bank-account-busting £3,800.
The reason why it’s so eye wateringly expensive is because it’s the first telescope designed specifically for indoor use (yes, all those ones you saw in people’s rooms in the movies were all lying to you).
Coated in a lovely shade of terra brown, the spenny equipment has a field view of 41-23 metres and 60x magnification – perfect for spying on your neighbours.
Just in case you’re interested, they’ve also got another pair of binoculars that will set you back £2,580.
Because who needs to eat or pay their bills?
