Transcript

That watch tells the time a lot better than this piece of art. But this thing costs 4,000 times what that does. I wouldn't be caught dead with that on my wrist. You know what I'm saying? >> So, here's how I see it. An investment watch versus a utility watch. Kind of see parallels in the car industry in an interesting way. When I'm walking down the street and I get a notification on my phone and it shows up and I can just dismiss it real quick, right? If someone calls me and I don't have to take my phone in my pocket, I'm just hanging on the subway with one hand and I can take the call real quick and then end it. That is some of the things that I value in a utility watch. Or if I was just buying fashion piece or an investment watch where I had different goals, whether I wanted it to appreciate in value or I want to look better, this is not what I would choose.
