For those of you with more money than sense
Sharpen your guillotines, folks, because the rich are at it again! High-end watch outfit RJ-Romain Jerome has a new collaboration withPokemonand the baffling result will only cost you $258,000 US, American dollars despite looking like something I paid $5 for in Chinatown 15 years ago.
Features, as listed on theproduct page, include: “Pikachu,” “Lightning bolt,” “Oscillating weight,” and “Pokemon colors” (the sparse blue and yellow stitching). A “Tourbillon bridge shaped as Pokémon’s symbolic lightning bolt?” Wow!
This is the second RJ-Romain JeromePokemonwatch — and the second missed opportunity to make it apocket-watch. The first,Pikachu-heavy,onlycost $20,000.
The company has also madePac-ManandSpace Invaderwatches, none of which look worth the price of a decent sedan. I’m not saying we should eat the rich, but — no, wait, I am.
