Media McGregor collaborates with Jacobs &Co to make incredibly ugly watch

[Crocop42]

So I'm gonna slightly disagree here in that I do think theres nothing wrong with indulging in luxuries if you derive enjoyment from them - all clothing that isn't just like goretex is to one degree or another making a choice about what you wear to asthetic please and thats all good in my view.

Now I do agree that watches have become a lot like the a jumper with a big 'BALENCIAGA' on it - the whole thign is just to be about letting you know it was expensive and therefore the owner could afford it. BUT I do actually think Rolex deserves the position it has because I think it has a lot of really beautiful and timeless watches - Daytonas, day-dates, submariners etc.

I also think there are makes such as Franck Mueller which make really nice pieces whcih are art in their own way and a pleasing thing to own. I personally think the chunky 'watch that looks like a toy I got in a cereal packet' thing which defines like Jacob & Co or Richard Mille or Hublot is trash and them being expensive doesen't change that for me.

Side note: Balenciaga is rumoured to be a social experiment, on what the poor will do to "appear rich". Or, how much money people will waste to fake s lifestyle.

Ever notice how their stuff is very ugly, almost to the point of ridiculousness? It highlights society's pathetic attempt to fit in.

 

[Yep]

Im poor so ill stick to bulova or citizen.

Timex auto ftw

I can afford it - can I criticize it now? It’s ugly.

Don’t mix up expensive with good. It’s one but not the other. Money can’t buy taste

You can't afford it either, pipsqueak. Quit squawking about things you know nothing about.

Every single large watch is just a guy screaming "ME! LOOK AT ME! EVERYONE, I NEED VALIDATION! I HAVE MONEY! HEY GUYS!!!!"

It's nice when people display their weaknesses on their wrist. Makes it easier to understand them instantly.

Like Harleys

Don’t get why anybody would want a watch anymore

They're fashion/status items. Why would anyone want designer bags, shoes, clothes, etc.?

 

[MacDiz]

As Jacobs & Co watches go, that's actually not bad. Pretty understated.

Protip for suredawggers: don't ever shell out money for an expensive watch unless you have the money for it or it is a gift, nobody cares about them nowadays

Get a nice silver or gold-filled chain, or shit, even a gold-plated chain (depending on your complexion) if you actually want girls to look at/notice you. Hell, even a bracelet is better than a watch in this day and age.

I don't wear my Daytona for other people, I wear it for me. I've never had a single stranger comment on it or even know what it is, which is just the way I like it.

Don't get why some people don't get why people would want to buy a watch

Lol poor people. Dare I say trashy?

 

[BigDeadFreak]

The watch is hideous but McGregor has no class so I expected nothing else.

 

[BForrester]

They have some cool shit to look at but way over the top and expensive for me.






My type of watch.

The Moonwatch is probably the best time piece in the world, in my opinion. I was lucky enough to get a panda Daytona at retail (they're like 2-3x retail price on the gray market), but a small piece of me wishes I had gotten a Speedmaster instead.

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

Damn I wish I could wear everything Conor does.

Like you know, an app that tells me what he's wearing for the day, and I just copy it.

That'd be a crazy sick app.

 

[doggo]

I've seen worse for watches, it's not horrible I guess. Suppose it depends on how over the top the price point will be.

If you like green and gold combo then its the perfect watch for you!! Like a 90's casino attached to your wrist

I have a speedy sapphire sandwich, it’s my favorite watch. You still can get a Speedy for retail, but NO fucking way you can get a panda daytona for retail nowadays. You made a good move.

I wear a watch to the laundromat. It's the most convenient way to insta-see the time as well as estimate when the dryer will be finished.

I have a friend of a friend that's an authorized dealer and was able to get it a few years ago at retail price. I couldn't believe what they've done in price over the last 5 years or so.

I might buy one
