$300,000 Watch tells you if it is day or night…no, really.
WSJ.comA $300,000 watch? Luxury. A $300,000 watch that doesn’t tell time — and that sells out? Pure genius.
According to several news reports flagged by my friends at Luxist, Swiss watchmaker Romain Jerome just launched the “Day&Night” watch. The watch won’t tell you what time it is. That’s so yesterday. But it does tell you whether it’s day or night — helpful, I guess, for billionaire types who can’t afford windows.
As the company’s Web site boasts: “With no display for the hours, minutes or seconds, the Day&Night offers a new way of measuring time, splitting the universe of time into two fundamentally opposing sections: day versus night.”
……………………….
And splitting its’ new owner from $300,000. What sort of moron would buy this thing?

Just for the curious, the article, and the watch’s advertising, are misleading. If you read more closely you see that its a watch with two sets of hands, the upper one works during the “day” and the lower one during the “night”.

Genius is what that is! If you can get people to pay for it, then its genius!
