Blink Blink why would such a very talented watchmaker make such a watch Perhaps to attract the rappers, brain dead footballers etc and oh yes money.The only people who will buy this piece of bling.Are people with very little knowledge what goes on in the case .Its just a piece of show off blink jewelry to them.Why don't watchmakers just stick to making real watches instead of all this blink blink crap.

Perhaps the no doubt highly elevated price is more easily justifiable after sprinkling some glimmers over the case? As you said, most people are ignorant towards fine, handcrafted movements. Even the wealthy. Bust most people recognize ‘ice’. And are willing to fork out big stacks of $$$$$$

The watch is quite beautiful....but a rubber strap on a diamond encrusted watch? What the hell were they thinking? How mismatched is that?
