"The prototype watch is estimated to fetch between $8,000 and $16,000 when it appears at the Time for Art auction, organized by Phillips Watches, in New York on Saturday."

$8-16 thousand does not seem that high of a price for this... Especially when compared to the prices other high end watches fetch.

I’m skeptical that this is a high end watch. It’s collectable, sure, but they make no mention of the movement, and at that price I’m going to assume it’s nothing special, and that majority of the price has gone into the case and face.

Personally, I think it’s ugly, and reminiscent of 80’s black marble bathrooms.

I was going to say, where's the "buy it now" button?

It went for something like $35k at auction already some days ago
