sorry for crap thread title but see line above

I don't even know how to express the confusion that surrounds the thought of anyone actually buying that.

Muppets all of them. It's $275!. Do folks hope to make some sort of anti-establishment statement with this?

Flabbergasted:

The hidden watch transcends typical associations of wealth or at least the accepted appearance of such by silencing the "bling" and isolating the emerging form. By stripping the user of this visible mechanical aid, one is forced to rely on a sense of personal time or the help of others to determine the hour.

All I have to say is.... eh?

What is it supposed to be? Am I missing something or is it watch, completely covered in gold plated leather? ........WHAT?

How random

"By stripping the user of this visible mechanical aid, one is forced to rely on a sense of personal time or the help of others to determine the hour."

I love that bit! Next time I'm late for work - "Sorry boss, I was relying on my personal sense of time when getting up this morning."

 

[Yewen]

Wow, so its like not having a watch, but you have one!

NICE!

 

[_dogma_]

Ridiculous! The unfortunate thing is I'm sure lots of people will buy them

 

[Rotty]

most things I can think of some obscure reason why someone would buy a certain item but I am at a loss with this

the only explanation I can come up with is that someone with their head far too far up their own backside will fall for the arty bull**** that the seller lists


then again surely no one is that stupid

 

[_dogma_]

then gain surely no one is that stupid

Of course there are. Plenty of people with too much money and not enough brains around...

 

[Scuzi]

then gain surely no one is that stupid

I wouldn't count on it!
So is there a watch inside it? Surely they could just put a watch case inside to save a few quid.

Designed by Leon Gilliam Ransmeier in the Netherlands.

after consuming copius amounts of substances no doubt

 

[Scuzi]

If you read his name back to front it gives, "Reiemsnar Maillig Noel", Santa Clauses Dutch brother. That explains a lot.

 

[pyro]

I will start selling broken watches for £350 and tell the dudes to sence the time. Yes, feel it. That's right.

 

[Akira]

I'll explain that one if you'll explain this one. Yes, it's a gold-plated silver clown's nose.

 

[AJUK]

There seems to be a common theme running through these designs...


...stoned Dutchmen!

 

[jezsoup]

dubbya-tee-eff mate :/

 

[SidewinderINC]

if only you could see the look of confusion right now...

 

[kitten_caboodle]

then again surely no one is that stupid

I bet Paris Hilton's got one

 

[Rotty]

I bet Paris Hilton's got one

now there's someone "that stupid"

It's like a watch in a straightjacket... so it's appropriate for whoever's going to buy it.

Actually, as ridiculous as the sales pitch for the watch is, I find myself relying on my sense of personal time! My phone has a little quirk that the alarm usually doesn't ring unless the phone is switched on. As my phone was low on batteries all week I left it off at nighttime, but still woke up before the alarm.

When Im rushing for the bus in the evening, I can get either the 6 bus or 6.30 bus so I don't mind too much if I miss the first one.

And at work there's a clock on the PC, and there's never a shortage of people to ask what time is it.

OK I have a clock on my phone so that's cheating a bit, but I haven't worn a watch since I lost my last one a year ago.
