Day & Night Watch only tells you if the sun is up

Day & Night Watch

How many times have you sat and pondered whether or not it was daylight outside? Unless you spend the better part of your days living underground, chances are that you don’t think about this very often. Sure, when you’re sitting in a cubicle after hours it may cross your mind, but is that enough to justify a watch that solely tells you whether the sun is up or down?

Apparently for some people it’s worth coughing up $300,000 for a watch that does just that. Part of the reason that it is so expensive is that it is a unique timepiece that used Tourbillon movement, which is supposed to overcome the limitations imposed on the accuracy of watches by the earth’s gravity.

Sure, that sounds interesting and all, however, that’s not enough to justify spending $300k on a watch. Especially one the doesn’t even tell the time.

[...] Et le pire est que ces montres étaient déjà toutes vendues 48 heures après leur mise en vente. Il est donc trop tard pour vous offrir ce raffinement de joaillerie. [Reuters via Born Rich via Coolest Gadgets] [...]

$300,000???? What the hell? That’s ridiculous. I’ve seen watches with pieces of the Titanic on them and they weren’t that expensive.
