The price was so high for me that I think I have to bow out as gracefully as I can. This is one of those pieces where I realized that I actually did have to ask what the price was (it is about double what I expected it to be) and that the term, "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" was apropos for this watch! But goodness, what a wonderful watch. If I was worth $100Million, I'd buy this watch in a heartbeat!

I saw this at Dubai Watch Week and I found it to be very impressive! I found it to be THE MOST SURPRISING WATCH at Dubai Watch Week! It's a digital watch kind of like the Lange Zeitwerk, but it has a more futuristic TRON/Spaceship vibe. It also adds a Fly...
YES!

Exactly, RM price range. Also think it has a Tourbillon, so RM price range with Tourbillon! I am relegated to a distance as well! My only chance of ever wearing this watch is for a week at a time - as a loan for a review. I wonder if it's reliable. The La...

Au contraire, the only reliable Zeitwerk is the one that's worn seldomly. And most are worn seldomly since they're a pain to wind, they're huge and thick, they're not very comfortable, and thus not worn very often. Which is good - as one will not be too d...

I don’t challenge a brand’s pricing strategy.
By: patrick_y : November 21st, 2023-17:29
The brand may have a better understanding of their costs and brand positioning than I do. And thus be more qualified to assign a price than I am. Pricing varies widely. Chopard timepieces are underpriced. But I don’t want them to know that. Louis Vuitton’...
That's definitely a fair opinion!

I still think this watch looks pretty darn good - and every novelty wears away after a while.
