$400K for a watch .. WTF!


cabestan

I realize that watch collectors are a breed unto themselves. Who else do you know who would be willing to drop some insane amounts of money for what amounts to a pile of gears that sits on your wrist. Whether it be a few grand (or more) for something like a Rolex or some other timepiece collectable money seems to be no object.

But $400,000.00 for a watch that has a chain drive?

    What gets me are the two handles on the watch – one at the front beside the chain drive/watch itself and it looks like there's another by the clasp. Surely neither of these two actually rotate while you wear the device? Surely?
