Watches, sadly. There some beautiful pieces, and somehow the industry figured out how to ask for a house’s worth of money for some of them
I got this for $70 online. It's from china and probably isn't well made but I absolutely love watching the little wheel go back and forth
it's sooo pretty!
(I messed it up the 2nd timezone when daylight savings time happened lol)
It is indeed pretty! :) Is it mechanical?
For 70 bucks, though, i would be hesitant. I just can't imagine finding a mechanic to fix it if need be, or what kind of shortcuts they had to make to create it.
Is that a moonphase display on the top there though?
Some magnificent pieces can be had for "only" used cars prices.
The one i have and love the most originally would have cost as much as my first car 15 years ago :D
