Ya know, these fancy watches, they got all sorts of names and places. Audemars Piguet, that’s one of them. Paysagiste Paris, they say. Don’t ask me what it means, sounds all foreign and complicated. Prix occasion, that’s the price, right? Used stuff, hand-me-downs. Le Bon, they call it. Probably some fancy shop in the big city.
Watches, watches, always with the watches. Folks got money to burn, I tell ya. Thirty-seven thousand dollars they say, on average! Could buy a whole lotta chickens with that kinda money. Or a new tractor, even. Heck, some of ’em go for three hundred thirty thousand! Imagine that! More money than I’ve seen in my whole life, probably.
- They say these watches are Swiss. From Switzerland. Fancy place, I hear. Makes watches and cheese, or somethin’.
- Royal Oak, they keep sayin’ that too. Must be a fancy kind, like a king’s tree or somethin’. Fifty thousand dollars, they say, is the average price. My head spins just thinkin’ about it.
People who wear these watches, they must be important. Actors and racers, they mention. Big shots. Arnold something-or-other and that Michael fella, the one who drives real fast. Rich folks with money to throw around. Fancy clothes too, they say. From Farfetch, whatever that is. More fancy shops, I bet. Express delivery and free returns, like they can’t make up their minds what they want.
And they talk about investing. Like a watch is a bank or somethin’. Twelve thousand euros four years ago, now forty thousand! Must be magic. Or maybe they just makin’ it up to get folks to spend more money. Who knows?
They keep sayin’ stuff like “iconic” and “innovative designs.” Big words for a watch, if you ask me. Code somethin’ or other, Tourbillon… Sounds like a bunch of gibberish. Just tell me the time, that’s all I need.
They got new seasons of clothes too. Like the seasons ain’t good enough on their own, they gotta make new ones. And all them pieces from the “world’s best labels.” Labels? Like on a can of beans? Must be more of that fancy talk.
These watches, they must be real somethin’. Boundary-breaking complications, they say. Sounds like a headache to me. Give me a good ol’ clock on the wall, any day. No fuss, no muss, just tells you the time.
But hey, if folks wanna spend their money on fancy watches, that’s their business. Me, I’ll stick to my chickens and my garden. More practical, if you ask me.
