The "Official" Watch Thread and all Things Horological

Just proves being wealthy doesn't = having good taste.

I don’t mind it aside from a couple of things. What’s the big deal about pressing a button to record the goals? That seems dumb.

Second Q is the watch seems over complicated comparing it to other watches that do similar things. Or is that the point?
 
I saw recently that Richard Mille is estimated to be the 6th largest Swiss watch brand by revenue, at around 1.7B Swiss Francs, or about $3B CAD. They have by far the highest average revenue per watch at almost $500,000/ea CAD, which is roughly double the next most expensive brand. Only the heavy hitters like Rolex, AP, Patek, Omega and Cartier are bigger by annual revenue, and Richard Mille are bigger than both Seiko and Citizen by a fair margin.

I don't get it under any circumstances, but obviously people with cash to burn do...
