Does that stop them from including them in wrist watches and charging $150k?

I stopped at Tourneau yesterday and wow. While I was there a guy bought a Panerai and a JLC that I helped him pick out.

No, on a wristwatch it's useless. But judging from the prices, it's hardly worthless.

Of course not, but I was only mentioning in passing that as a technical complication, it's utterly worthless. It's merely an expensive trinket that makes a great revenue stream for high-end watch companies. As far as complications go IMHO, a minute repeater or rattrapante are far more fascinating and useable.

I almost got the "regular" silver Yachtmaster instead of my Glashutte.
