- tomcam 9y agoThe great thing is, I can't even tell if that's a joke!
- martin_bech 9y agoThey bought beats, so why not LVMH when they need to invest some of the cashhoard.
- TheOtherHobbes 9y agoMuch too vulgar for AAPL. Besides, Apple probably has plans of its own for self-driving designer luggage.
- dagw 9y agoMuch too vulgar for AAPL. No more vulgar than Beats.
- netsharc 9y agoWhatever happened to 10K Apple watches, they were presented as one of the options, I've never checked if they actually made it to market.
- tommorris 9y agoThe Series 1 'Edition' watches were $10-17k and in gold. When Series 2 came out, they switched the gold to ceramic and they start at $1,249. The gold ones were definitely for sale both online, in the shops, and in department stores (one of the big London department stores has an Apple Watch counter). Personally, I think it was more of a marketing gimmick: send a few out to celebrities for some buzz in the fashion press, and get the tech press to write about how Apple are "going after the Rolex end of the watch market"... even if they don't sell many, it was good PR for the first series of watches. And for consumers, they could try the gold one on in the shop, sigh that they don't have $10,000 and then buy the $300-$500 one.
