Beautiful.

The one on the right looks awesome. I don’t agree with tummie - these watches don’t look boring in the least. I guess it’s one of those things that rich people get when they have no idea what the hell else to get because they’re so rich. I agree with Allen, however, that the price is too steep for something that isn’t very pragmatic, and I ABSOLUTELY second that you should probably get an Omega watch with that kind of money.

JAMES BOND wears Omega, you should too.

To tell you the truth, I think I kind of understand why these watches sell like they do. They’re not really watches, per se, but actually I think they’re more art. Watchmakers are revered by some for their ability at accuracy and precision in their craft - just look back in history at John Harrison! Few, these days, still have the mastery to shape metal into timepieces - it’s probably more the obscurity and underground-ness of Sonnerie Souveraine’s pieces that brings him acclaim, not the fact that his watches chime. He doesn’t just pump out timepieces like a factory, he sits there by himself and crafts each one personally. It’s a passion to him…he’s probably so attached to each watch that he calls their new owners every other night just to check on his children.
