I ohhhh and ahhhh over watches like everyone else here. Sometimes I have a hard time comprehending the prices of some I see. Here's an example, I am by no means disrespecting the watch/watchmaker but what makes a stainless steel, TIME ONLY leather strappe...
unfortunately the simple forces of offer and demand.

what is unfortunate, these forces are being tampered with from various side of the market. But we have to live with it and find the watches that make us happy, all things considered. All the best, Alex
I hope Laurent Ferrier does well and I like his personal track record

The price you mention is indeed high but we are talking about Veblen goods here so price is irrelevant (the highest its price, the more in demand it is given the halo status it confers to its owner). However, I have the feeling that quite a few of his wat...

Good reply a plus one for me
By: GreatPilot@me.com : February 3rd, 2021-18:56
Good reply a plus one for me. I just ordered a Roger Smith that will probably cost me $200,000 plus and is a three-year wait. That is the best example of what it cost to make a watch, the buyer is a decision-maker of whether it is worth it or not. Of cour...
While $44,000 dollars is a fixed amount of money

Spending 50K on a time only. It is not always the case material. When an artist is painting a dial, spending hours. Gulouching a dial on a two century old gulouching machine. Not many skilled people who can gulouche a watch. Grand fue. A complex tourbillo...
