    That’s a very clever way to introduce a watch by first enumerating the types of people for whom the watch isn’t intended. Even if a person hasn’t the slightest inclination for the design, you are drawing them in as you elaborate on its features and functions. Very clever and entertaining indeed! Well done 🥃

    All watches are made in Computer controlled machines now. So in a moderate quantity, the price of a watch, even a nice one, can be very reasonable. That is why the Chinese make their watches affordable. However, they are not cheap in quality anymore. While super clone watches are distasteful to many, they really show the obscene profits made by the Swiss.
    But hey, if you have that much cash to throw around, by all means buy overpriced ( but very beautiful ) watches. I only buy a Swiss watch at a deep discount.

    Most of the cost of a product is not the product itself that the buyer ends up with. Research, marketing, facilities, shareholder compensation, wholesaler and retailer mark-ups...
    Chinese firms have a few extra benefits like lower rents, wages and compliance costs
    For many watches the costs of finishing can be the most expensive production cost
    Then there's the Veblen cost. If Urwerk could sell their watches for, say, $50k they might not find any buyers
