You know, this watch, it’s a funny thing. Looks all space-agey, like somethin’ from them movies the grandkids watch. Real shiny and black, reminds me of that fancy car the mayor drives around in. They call it the “Black Panther” watch, like that fella in the tights who jumps around. Kids love him, I guess.
Now, I ain’t one for fancy things, mind you. Give me a good watch that tells the time, that’s all I need. But this one, it catches the eye. Made of somethin’ called titanium, sounds important. And then there’s this black stuff, ceramic, they say. Must be strong, I reckon, to cost so much. Heard tell it’s for “heroes,” whatever that means.
- It’s got this big ol’ face, easy to see the time, even without my spectacles.
- And the strap, it’s rubber I think, feels comfy enough. Not like that stiff leather one my husband used to have, gave him blisters somethin’ fierce.
They only made a few of these “Black Panther” watches, like 250 or somethin’. That’s why they’re so pricey, they tell me. Folks spend a whole heap of money on ’em, more than I make in a year, I bet. Must be nice to have that kind of cash to throw around.
This watch, it’s made by some company, “Odd-mars Pig-wet” or somethin’ like that. Sounds like a farm animal, doesn’t it? But they make fancy watches, real expensive ones. The kind rich folks buy. This one, they say it’s a “Royal Oak” somethin’ or other. Fancy words for a fancy watch, I suppose.
Now, I ain’t sure what makes this watch so special. It tells the time, just like my old one. But it’s got that “Black Panther” name, and it’s all modern lookin’. Maybe that’s what folks like. They like feelin’ fancy, like they’re part of that superhero world.
They even had an artist fella, “Kaws” they call him, help design it. Never heard of him, but I guess he’s a big deal in the art world. Made the watch even more expensive, I reckon. All that paint and whatnot.
Folks say this watch is an “investment,” like puttin’ money in the bank. You buy it now, and later on, it’ll be worth more. Maybe so, maybe not. I ain’t no expert. But I reckon if you got the money to spend, and you like fancy watches with superhero names, then this “Black Panther” one might be just the thing for you.
Just don’t ask me why it costs so much. Seems like a whole lotta money for somethin’ that just tells the time. But then again, I ain’t never been one for fancy things. Give me a good cup of tea and a comfy chair, and I’m happy as a clam.
This watch, it’s a conversation starter, that’s for sure. Folks will ask you about it, admire it. And you can tell ’em all about the “Black Panther” and “Odd-mars Pig-wet” and all that. Makes you feel important, I suppose.
So, if you’re lookin’ for a watch that’s more than just a watch, this “Black Panther” one might be for you. Just be prepared to shell out some serious dough. And don’t be surprised if your neighbors stare. They probably ain’t never seen a watch like this before, neither.
