CantDrive55's 'Fun/Insufferable vs. Money/No Money Matrix' offers a humorous yet thought-provoking framework for evaluating watch brands and their perceived value within the collector community. This matrix, presented as a visual diagram, sparks a discussion on brand identity, market perception, and the subjective nature of horological enjoyment. It encourages readers to consider how factors like brand heritage, corporate ownership, and personal connection influence a watch's placement on this unique scale.

... Both fun and insufferable at the same time? :O
not sure why Apple is at the centre though. I do not see it as the ultimate benchmark but they are indeed on the wrist of all sorts of people Sorry to see where IWC landed as I just bought one (but maybe I get a pass because it is a vintage Porsche Design ;-)
