INSITE SPECIAL OF THE DAY: $300,000 WATCH THAT WON'T GIVE YOU THE TIME!

WOULD YOU BUY THIS WATCH?

This is for all of the big ballers who read the Insite. I'm sure you can afford this wonderful timepiece. It was last month when the Swiss watchmaker Romain Jerome introduced the "Day&Night" watch. Unfortunately it does not provide a reading of the hour or the minute. But the Insite reads the thing sells for $300,000. But here's the clincher, no matter what you do it won't tell you the time - it just tells you only if it is "day" or "night" using a measurement of the Earth's gravity. CEO Yvan Arpa says studies show that most rich people "don't use their watch to tell what time it is" anyway. What do they use it for - just decoration. Anyway, anyone can buy a watch that tells time, he told a Reuters reporter, but only a "truly discerning customer" can buy one that doesn't. Would you buy this watch? The Insite would love to hear your opinion on the special of the day!

    So it's a $300,000 bracelet. No different than purchasing a pricey ring or other form of jewelry.

    Would I buy one? Sure... just let me get my accountant on the phone. :-D I think he's talking to my Broker, they were busy selling swampland in Louisiana last time I checked. lol
