Still More Things I Don’t Understand
About a year ago, I wrote about the $500 pencils. I did not understand why anyone would consider such a purchase as either 1) necessary or 2) not the stupidest waste of money to be found.
Oh, wait. I may have found a competing product.
Years ago, my piano teacher once described a man so lazy that “His self winding watch ran down.” Not an easy thing, since such watches (even in those days), wound themselves with an occasional walk down the hallway or while handwriting.
Well, lo and behold, if that is too much work, we now have the Orbita Watchwinder, for only $295. Just so you know–this only winds self-winding watches–no stem-wound or quartz movements need apply.
The whole concept seems almost surreal to me. And that is proof-positive that I am not, and never will be, a member of the leisure class. I’ll take care of my own self-winding watches, thank you very much.
By the way. This is in no way meant to impugn the firm that sells these products. I’ve purchased a few items from World-Lux, and since they are an amazon partner, I can tell you that they appear to be an ethical company, and one that is easy to work with.
