Why would a man with two $6000 Swiss made luxury watches choose to wear a $399 Apple Watch instead for 80% of his watch wear? He explains why. — PING!

Apple Watch

If you own 2 $6000 Swiss watches, why would you want an Apple Watch?

That Christiaan van der Klaauw is incredible. Work of art. Rolex? Meh.

If you own two $6,000 Swiss watches, why would you fess up to it in a dopey blog post. I’m glad he made it big, but he could be a bit less ostentatious about it.

In 1965 I bought an inexpensive Elgin pocket watch for $35.00. Elgins were no longer made in the US by then. It was Swiss which turned out to be just fine.

I could unscrew the back and adjust it to be faster or slower. The only way I had to check it was when the radio beeped on the hour. After around a month, I got it to where it was only gaining around a second a day. Actually it was a bit better than that, maybe 2/3 second per day.

I noticed it would gain around 2 seconds early in the day, then lose most of it later in the day as it unwound. That watch still works and I have never had it cleaned or any maintenance at all. I hardly ever wear it anymore tho.

Still it was surprisingly accurate for an inexpensive mechanical watch.

To spare damage to the 6000 dollar watches.

I already have a android phone with me at all times, why would I need a watch that does nothing my phone doesn’t and also screams “I am a sodomite” to everyone you encounter?

No Thanks.

Out of the 3, I’ll gladly take the Christian de....whatever, and y’all can have that Apple thing, and the Stainless Rolex.

Heck, I can’t read a smart phone with out glasses, and my fat fingers won’t type on one.

I’d have to wear jewelers loupes to read the Apple watch.

I've stopped wearing my Stürhling rose gold meteorite dial Tourbillon mechanical watch in favor of my Apple Watch. . . it retails for $3500. . . I haven't worn it since I got my Apple Watch at the beginning of June. It's a beautiful watch, but it only tells time.

That one looks broken. The other two agree on the time of day at least.

Yeah. Just give me your hand-me-down Rolex and I will slink away quietly.

Of the three watches shown in the article, the easiest to read is the Apple Watch. . .

To be trendy.

Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anyone really care?

[Cementjungle]

I’ll pass.

[T-Bone Texan]

I’m thinking he either has a small wiener, a neckbeard, or both.

Maybe it’s keeping “Swiss” time. LOL :)
