I wonder who the hell weirs a $55million watch? I know many billionaires in this world are ready to buy such beauties as an investment. But this should have a history created behind it. Only the idea and the story increases the price of an expensive thing. People like to have something shiny and exclusive that will make them different from the others. Personally, I love pocket watches. They represent a whole history, and there are a lot of ways of how to wear a pocket watch. Recently I've learned a complete guide and know I have a whole collection. Now I can wear a watch for each day of the week.
