Only appropriate for people so rich they don't care : )

As art it's beautiful. As a timekeeper it's jewelry...

We admire time, we don't read it, and Vacheron did understand that point very well, with this watch. ;)

Isn’t that what our phones are for? 😀

With this on the wrist, I would just keep admiring it and ask Siri for the time.
