Oh, you’re askin’ ’bout them fancy watches, the A-P and the Rollicks, huh? Let me tell ya, I seen folks wearin’ watches all my life, but these, these are somethin’ else. Heard they cost more than my whole henhouse, maybe even the whole farm!
So, you wanna know ’bout when they started makin’ ’em, the A-P one? Well, let me scratch my head a bit… It was way back, long afore they had them fancy smartphones and such. Some fellas named Aud- somethin’ and Pig- somethin’ put their heads together in a place called… uh… Valley of Juice, or somethin’ like that. Yeah, Juice Valley! Sounded tasty. This was in… now hold yer horses… 1875, that’s what they say.
- Them two fellas, they started makin’ watches, real fancy ones.
- Heard they used lots of tiny parts, like gears and springs, all fitted together real nice.
- Musta been hard work, all that fiddlin’ with them little pieces.
Now, the Rollicks one, that came later. A bit after the turn of the century, I think. Let me think… 1905, that’s it. They started makin’ them in a place called… Switzerland, I think? Never been there myself, but heard it’s full of mountains and snow.
Heard tell them Rollicks watches are expensive too, but not as much as the A-P ones. People pay thousands, maybe even millions for ’em. Imagine that! Spendin’ all that money on somethin’ that just tells time. My old rooster tells me the time just fine, crowin’ when the sun comes up.
Now, why are they so expensive, you ask? Beats me, really. Must be all that fancy work they put in, all them little gears and shiny stones. And they say they last a long time too, some of ’em passin’ from one generation to the next. Like my grandma’s old quilt, still keeps me warm on cold nights.
Heard you can find ’em on that E-bay thing, too. Not sure what that is, some kinda fancy store, I guess. People sell all sorts of things on there, even these watches. But be careful, you don’t wanna get cheated. Always best to see things with yer own eyes before you buy ’em, like checkin’ if a melon’s ripe before you take it home.
Folks say the Rollicks watches cost around… twelve thousand dollars, on average. That’s a lot of chickens, let me tell ya. And some of ’em go for even more, like two hundred thousand or somethin’. My head starts spinnin’ just thinkin’ ’bout it. And them A-P ones, they’re even more! Guess they’re for folks with deep pockets, not for folks like me.
There’s even a thing called a… index? Yeah, a index. Shows how much these watches are worth. Like a list of prices, I guess. Keeps changin’ all the time, they say. Like the price of eggs at the market. One day it’s cheap, next day it’s high as a kite.
So, there ya have it. A bit ’bout them fancy watches, the A-P and the Rollicks. Old as dirt, some of ’em. Cost more than a whole farm. But tellin’ time’s still tellin’ time, no matter how much money you spend on it. Just like a good cup of tea is a good cup of tea, whether you drink it from a china cup or a tin mug.
