Watches

I don't know if the prices of these watches vary based on the price of precious metals or exchange rates (as these are hand-made in Germany). About two years ago, the particular versions of these (platinum, I think) that I saw in Europe were going for ~18k euro.

I never understood why watchmakers never made a cheaper version (say for $500) that are similar in aesthetics but with poorer components and craftsmanship.

I think it's the A. Lange & Sohne The Lange 1815. I couldn't find one with a blue dial, but they were selling a white dial with a platinum case for $18,300. For a gold case $11,900.


That is one seriously beautiful watch. I must now resist the urge to quaduple my budget.
