Well, let me tell you ’bout this here watch, the Jacob and Co Astronomia Dragon. Folks call it fancy, real fancy, but to me, it’s just a shiny thing that tells time, kinda. Heard it costs a fortune, more money than I ever seen in my whole life, and I’ve seen a lot, you know. They say it’s a “collector’s item,” somethin’ folks with deep pockets buy and keep, like them fancy plates my grandma used to have, only these plates tell time and cost way more.
This watch, it ain’t just any watch, mind you. It’s got this dragon in it, a real purdy dragon, all shiny and twisty. Reminds me of them stories my grandpa used to tell ’bout dragons guarding treasure. Guess this watch is the treasure now, huh? It’s got all these moving parts, too, like a little machine whirring inside. Makes me think of Pa’s old tractor, always somethin’ spinnin’ and turnin’. But Pa’s tractor didn’t cost no twenty million dollars, that’s for sure.
- They say it’s got diamonds, lots of ’em. Yellow diamonds, they say. Shiny rocks, I say. Prettier than the ones I used to find in the chicken yard, that’s for sure. Folks sure do like shiny things, don’t they? Makes ’em feel special, I reckon.
- And it’s made of somethin’ called “platinum,” sounds fancy, must be strong. Hope it don’t break if you drop it, though for twenty million, maybe it bounces! I remember my old watch, fell right off when I was feedin’ the chickens, cracked right open. This one, though, this one probably ain’t for chicken feedin’.
They call it a “tourbillon,” whatever that means. Sounds like a fancy word for somethin’ that goes ’round and ’round. Like a windmill, but smaller and shinier. And they say it’s “hand-wound,” means you gotta twist it up yourself, like an old-timey clock. My grandma had one of them, used to wind it up every night before bed. This watch, though, I bet you gotta be real careful windin’ it, don’t wanna break nothin’ for that kind of money.
They talk about it bein’ “limited edition,” means they ain’t makin’ a whole heap of ’em. Like my grandma’s biscuits, she only made so many, and if you weren’t quick, you missed out. Guess that makes it special, huh? Somethin’ not everyone can have. Makes folks want it more, I reckon. Human nature, always wanting what they can’t have.
This Jacob Co. brand, they make all sorts of these fancy watches. They say they “push the boundaries of technology,” well, I say they’re pushing the boundaries of common sense, spending that much on somethin’ that tells time! But then again, I ain’t never had twenty million dollars to spend. Maybe if I did, I’d buy me a whole flock of chickens and a brand new tractor, not no fancy watch.
I heard you can buy ’em online, on somethin’ called “eBay,” but I ain’t never messed with that computer stuff. Too complicated for an old gal like me. And they say you can get your money back if you don’t like it, but who wouldn’t like a shiny watch that costs more than a whole town? Well, maybe me, I’d rather have my chickens and my peace and quiet.
They got different kinds of these dragon watches, too. Some got blue straps, some are made of different shiny metals. They even got one called “Clarity Dragon,” sounds like a drink you’d order at the saloon, but it’s a watch. It’s all a bit much, if you ask me. Too much fuss and bother over a thing that tells time.
But hey, who am I to judge? Folks like what they like. And if they wanna spend their hard-earned money on a shiny dragon watch that costs a fortune, well, that’s their business. Me, I’ll stick with my old clock on the wall, it tells time just fine, and it didn’t cost me no twenty million dollars. It just ticks and tocks, steady as a heartbeat, just like life should be, simple and true.
