Well, lemme tell ya about them Audemars Piguet watches. Fancy name, ain’t it? Sounds like somethin’ a rich fella would wear. Folks keep askin’ about the prices and lists and PDFs and all that. What’s a PDF anyway? Sounds like somethin’ the doctor would give ya for a bad cough.
Anyways, these Audemars things, they’re watches, right? Fancy ones, I hear. Tell the time and all that. My old clock on the wall does the same, but these ones, they cost a pretty penny. Heard tell some of ’em are more than a whole house! Can ya imagine? Wearin’ a house on your wrist? Crazy, I tell ya.
Now, they say there’s different kinds. Royal Oak this, Royal Oak that. Sounds like somethin’ you’d find in the woods. But no, these are metal things, shiny and all. Some are steel, some are gold. Gold, that’s somethin’ I understand. Used to have a gold tooth, y’know? Lost it eatin’ corn on the cob, darn thing. But these watches, they got gold all over. No wonder they cost so much.
Then there’s all these numbers. Thousands and thousands. Dollars, euros, whatever them things are. Makes my head spin. Can’t imagine spendin’ that much on somethin’ that just tells the time. My rooster wakes me up just fine, for free! He don’t need no fancy watch.
And these complications they talk about. What kinda complications? My life’s got enough complications without payin’ for more in a watch! Chronographs, they call ’em. Sounds like somethin’ to do with writin’. Don’t need no watch to write, got me a pencil and paper right here.
They been makin’ these watches since 1875, they say. That’s a long time. Longer than I been alive, that’s for sure. Guess they must be doin’ somethin’ right if they’re still sellin’ ’em. But still, all that money… Could feed a whole town with what they charge for one of them things.
And the famous folks, they wear ’em. Sports stars and such. LeBron, Schumacher… Never heard of ’em. Guess they got more money than sense, spendin’ it on fancy watches.
They talk about investments, too. Buyin’ a watch as an investment. Never heard such nonsense. Invest in land, I say. Or chickens. Chickens give ya eggs, at least. What’s a watch gonna give ya? Just the time. And maybe a headache when ya think about how much ya paid for it.
- Pocket watches, too. Remember them? My grandpappy had one. Tick-tocked real loud. He’d wind it up every mornin’. Guess these Audemars things are like fancy pocket watches, just on your wrist.
- Cufflinks, too. Little things for your shirt. More money, I guess. Why bother? Buttons work just fine.
So, that’s all I know about them Audemars Piguet watches. Fancy, expensive, tell the time. Don’t see the point myself, but folks seem to like ’em. Maybe they got more money than they know what to do with. Me, I’d rather buy a good pair of shoes. Somethin’ practical, y’know?
If you want a price list, or a PDF, or whatever, I can’t help ya. Go ask someone who knows about such things. Me, I’m gonna go feed my chickens.
