In a recent interview they said they've sold over 100 godfather watches! Apparently gimmicks sell, even well into 6 figures. I mean, Black Panther or Godfather, I'm not sure which is worse....

Black Panther is certainly more obscene.

Being that is has a 348k price tag, that would be a hard pass.

I'm quite amazed people will pay these prices for a Jacob watch... yuck. They all look so awful and tacky to me. I guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.

I’m generally not a Jacob & Co fan. Having said that I think they make the best World Time watch out there from a design perspective.

I guess it's time for the next leg down for the price of Bitcoin.
