This is a handsome watch from a Swedish company (that I've never heard of). They also make a model with a dark blue dial. MSRP isn't crazy either.

I reviewed one of their early watches (Hudson). Not badly made, but it would be interesting to see how they have improved over the last few years (assuming they have)
Very Patek
Yeah, defo some Nautilus vibes, but not the Patek price!
£100k on a watch is ridiculous - and I love watches! Couldn't bring myself to spend it if I had it.
Same.. There's only so good a watch can be IMO. A decent £5-600 on a good Seiko is sufficient I think.
Is £1500 on a TAG or £5000 on an Omega 10 times better than a Seiko???
Definitely not, but I admit that I will still do this!

If you had that much money that you could think about laying down 100k on a watch, then you wouldn't care. These people have millions rolling around, it's just like us buying some nice (but everyday) trainers.
It is hard to justify more expensive mechanical watches once you take precious metals or stones out of the equation, but I do think quality of workmanship, be it the movement itself or the intricacy of some of the finishing be that prelage or guilloche or work on the dials. Hard to justify as ‘value for money’ still but there’s clearly levels of hand craft to be taken into account where it’s more than simple a way of telling the time and becomes boarder line art for some people.
Let not forget too that some of the more expensive ones are more to do with supply and demand with list prices often dramatically lower than those on the secondary market.
Price of some Seikos put Tag and Omega in the shade btw.

I tend to view Grand Seiko as essentially a different brand to Seiko though, a little like G-Shock to Casio
I know what you mean but they’re ultimately the same company, and a lot more closely related than say Swatch and Blancpain (imho)
