Expensive, But Worthless?
Earlier this morning I noticed an interesting photo gallery in the UK’s Daily Telegraph; A collection of the most expensive and most worthless items in the world.
All of the items shown are without a doubt expensive, but as for them all being ultimately worthless? I’m not so sure.
This watch, for example.
DualTow watch by Christophe Claret
The DualTow watch by Christophe Claret retails for $300,000, but it only displays the time to the nearest five minutes’. As the people behind the blog say: “So you’re paying for a, seemingly, needlessly complicated watch that doesn’t actually tell you the correct time.”
Does only being able to tell the time to within five minutes make that watch worthless? Not in my opinion.
And would I like one of those watches myself? Yes I would.
