Status, and in some cases art, but mostly status.
- LyndsySimon 8y agoSatisfaction, too. I love watches, and usually wear a Vostok. It’s a very inexpensive Russian automatic (mechanical, self-winding). It was about $100, and certainly isn’t a “luxury” watch in the sense that a Patek would be - but I like wearing it, because of what it is. It’s hard to explain. It’s a piece of extremely precise engineering that almost feels organic in some ways. If I’m in a quiet place and calm I can almost feel it tick. I can feel the pendulum move to wind itself when I reach for something. In some small way it’s almost alive. I guess you could call that art.
