What Time Is It?

Time to spend insane amounts of money for a watch apparently.

GENEVA (AFP) - A 1952 Patek Philippe bracelet-watch fetched a record 1.38 million euros (1.77 million dollars) during a Sotheby's auction in Geneva.

Estimated at between 408,000 euros and 533,000 euros, the jewelry instead obtained the highest figure ever for a watch sold by the auction house to date, Sotheby's said. The watch had been little worn and was in perfect condition, according to Sotheby's.

The Patek Philippe was part of a watch auction that fetched 6.67 million euros for Sotheby's. The auction house registered its best results ever for time pieces this year, with a total 10.46 million euros sold.

It might be a good idea for whoever spent that much money for a wristwatch to spend a little money on buying some common sense. Or hire someone with it. I'm available and wouldn't charge more than 1/10th that amount annually! Honest.
