Watchmaker here.

It's a jewellery. The only reason to have a watch is to have a watch. And a better one than your neighbour if possible. The only reason they are so expensive is that they put a shitload of work on the finish to justify the price. Because rich guys will buy a more expensive watch.

They're juste moving ,pricey wristband.
Also ,depending on the model ,it won't lost that much value. But you gotta look at tens of thousands dollar for that.

It's really interesting ,but if you're not into it ,it's not worth spending more than 500€ into a watch.

Me neither.

My watch needs to be water resistant, easy to clean, hard to fuck up, must be readable under any circumstance and a countdown timer is a must-have.

So I'm riding with a G-Shock DW6900 for five years now after I drestroyed the crystal of a Luminox (which cost me four times the money) by accidetially soft-slamming it against a metal handrail twice.

That is freaking awsome, and I would be honored to have my brain structure displayed in the living room for all to see. I would go further and hang it in the air inside a clear glass box, and scribe on a small brass plate my full name, the name of my species in Latin and under it the date this MRI scan was taken, so it looks like a preserved museum piece. It would be creepy and a very good conversation starter among guests. It would also be a reminder for me that I'm just meat and fat and my time is running out so I should stop wasting it. If it were pink or even white it would have been better, since I could paint it pinkish-grey and blue to seem lifelike.

Not sarcasm in the least. I have an fMRI scan I did when I was in my 20's and I photoshopped the vertical slice where my corpus callosum and optic nerve and the 2 ventral chambers and are clearly shown, sharpened and touched it up and printed it into a 1x1m poster that I hung in my bedroom. It would be fucking amazing to even just see my brain in 3D, let alone hold it in my hands or make it into an art piece. This tech is fucking incredible and to me things like functional brain MRI scans are what Jesus-on-toast appearances are to a doubt-filled Christian.

I did look into getting my retarded hunk of chuck scanned, but no possibilities atm. Also one problem is, this brain is definitely not to scale.

At this point, watches are relics. They are man-jewelry. Sure, you can find use in them... but current technology really makes having a watch to tell time obsolete.

This is why people are willing to spend obscene amounts on watches... because it is status, not usefulness, that adds value to watch ownership. It pays homage to the historical significance of watches and watchmaking, to the technical craft behind the precise mechanical parts.

This piece accentuates the anger that the artist was feeling with the overall economic standards of society, as he himself was struggling to hide himself from the daily nuances that plague those of the societal underbrush. With his Coke zero in tow and his shit-tier 80's magazine to accompany him on this cold night, the only thing left is to build a barrier between himself and the ever-present warmth and light that emanated from the lamp on his Wal-Mart provisioned night stand.

The artist was making a social commentary on how we barricade ourselves in our fortresses which are our homes, and shield ourselves from life through whatever means we can tape together, thinly veiled excuses that can be torn apart with minimal effort.
