A lot of the high end watch world is focused on craftsmanship. Think of it like buying a painting, but instead of oil & canvas you get steel, gears & springs (or glass and...nanoballs in this case).

Anyone can buy a clock - you have one in the corner of your computer right now. People who spend this level of money are more interested in time keeping sculpture.



Both watches and the hourglass seem closer to a lithograph than an original piece of art, and I wouldn't pay $28k for a lithograph.
