And they say there's no money around

"Anyone can buy a watch that tells time — only a truly discerning customer can buy one that doesn’t."

This from an article in the Wall Street Journal about a watch that has no display for hours, minutes, or seconds — it merely displays whether or not it's daytime or nighttime. "What’s most impressive about the Day&Night is its complexity, given its absolute uselessness. The watch features two tourbillons — devices that overcome the ill effects of earth’s gravity on a watch’s accuracy — connected by a differential mechanism." And, by the way, did Rico mention that the watch costs $300,000? (Yeah, six Porsches, one nice house in Hawaii, or one very nice house almost anywhere else...)
