when you have hundreds of millions of dollars, $20,000 for a rolex is mere pittance and will not be flashy enough on the wrist. They are looking for toys, something funky, showy and trendy to show off to their other rich friends.

To be fair to those watches, many are actually very highly complicated and impressively engineered. Their price point is not an issue to the clientele they are courting.

for example this jacob and co. has a floating double axis tourbillon (the 3rd axis being its cage) a 288 faceted diamond sphere for the moon and a lacquered magnesium globe for the earth. Each of those two spins on their own axis, and the whole thing, arms and all, rotates around the dial every 10 mins. It also comes with a fully working roulette wheel underneath and a tiny ball that actually jumps around. The asking price is $600,000.
