I really do not understand

I am with you , I can understand why Usher spoke like that , many people do not known what is true inspiration of watch, in my eyes the inspiration of watch is fine mechanical time device . Sometime , people buy very expensive audio because it is expensive and look good , they use it to listen to lousy quality CD , or an example as : one Chinese come to Hermes boutique at first time, and he bought some hundred thousand USD of porcelain items , he only known Hermes is big brand,but do not known Hermes is wellknown because of its leather goods .

But I do not understand why collector buy watch for "investment " in case they have good knownledge about watch. They buy the watch which they do not like it much but they think its value will raise in future . I really want to known what are reasons ? Do they want to prove that they have good knownledge so these watches which they choose have good value in future ? Do they really want to make profit ?
