If you find it difficult to find animals that still contain large ivory tusks walking the earth, then what about finding this material in creatures that have died thousands of years ago? As hard as it may be to get this kind of prey, the feat is not impossible.

The Lang & Heyne company, which makes jewelery and objects made of gold, has built 25 large mammoth ivory clocks found on the ground of Russian glaciers. The animals were in perfect condition as they remained in the ice for over 10, 000 years.

According to the Born Rich website, ivory used in watches is not merely a decorative prop. The rare material has been incorporated into the internal structures and other mechanical components of the snob. The "ivory" structure can come in the "Friedrich August I" and "Johann von Sachsen" models, depending on the preference of the new owner.

If anyone is interested, just go to the Lang & Heyne website and order yours, which is no less than € 33, 300 (around $ 85, 000, according to today's quote).
