Not Model Aviation but TOTAL INSANITY

Hey, want a new watch?
Super thin - 1.75 MM.
For a mere $1.88 MILLION USD it can be yours!
Question: Is anyone, even very rich people, DUMB enough to buy this?
For your entertainment.

As Torstein Veblen put it: "Conspicuous consumption of valuable goods is a means of reputability to the gentleman of leisure". I bet they'll all be sold pretty soon - but not to me!

Dang! Wouldn't you just know! I was in need of a new daily wear wristwatch. But I just bought a new $27 Timex last week. It'd be silly to have two daily wear beaters...

To see some classical watchmaking with the same price tag is nice, but crap like that..no. L

Now I'm certain the world has gone to hell in a handcart!
Big brains are fascinated with small things.
Is this what they call 'Small Tech'?
Perhaps it's a profile scale?

It is a automatic mechanical watch. No battery. I collect watches but not oddball watches.
Wait a few months and you can get a replica on Wish for $17

It's quite possible that my Timex keeps better time. I saw a joke once about a janitor bragging about his $500 watch and upstairs the president of the company was bragging about his Timex.

It's a very very thin watch, with a very pretty horsie, and if I get one then Elon, Jeff, and Dickie Branson will know I'm one of them.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

For that kind of money, you could hire a 24/7 personal assistant to tell you what time it is.

If I had THAT kind of money, I wouldn't give a tinker's DAMN what time it was, or what day of the week it was!! If it was warm outside I would know it's summer and if it's cold and snowy I would know it's winter! Everything else wouldn't matter!
Type at you later,

Or better yet, a Swedish masseuse because with that kind of money, you could care less what time it is!
