The functionality of a time piece GREATLY affects value in the higher priced pieces

No.
You are confusing input and output.

The functionality is what the consumer gets from it, not what goes into it. The design, craftmanship, and complication of an expensive timepiece make it cost a lot of money to produce. However, the consumer won't be able to tell it "functionally" from a quartz Timex. It may look much nicer and be more satisfying to own, but the "function" will be close enough to the Timex that the user is unlikely to notice a difference.
