@mavica yeah, it's very expensive for what it is
The MAT Watches Egg Master
It's a watch created for L'Association de Sauvegarde de l'Oeuf Mayonnaise (The Association for the Protection of Egg Mayonnaise)
It has a timer feature to boil the perfect egg
It's being released for this year's Eggs Mayonnaise World Championship

I am not making a single word of this up
@mavica *brings you some nice yummy batteries*
@envgen the reason is because they all have tea-making facilities so yeah, I can see that
hahahahahaha
y'know how rolex has long waitlists? well, they're by specific model
so now that they've released new models everyone who was on the waitlist for a sub now needs to sign up for the new waitlist
and their position on the waitlist doesn't carry over!
@mavica @revolverocelot wouldn't want to violate the gdpr by not keeping people's data around
it's only a commodore amiga if it's in charge of more than one ship at a time and has a fancy hat
@mavica not even making that up
that was his actual name and he was a massive prick
@mavica Ironically by someone named Mr. Schul
@mavica certainly soured me on pure maths
@mavica that would be correct, yes
@mavica double especially for anything with eight legs
they're the natural enemy of those of us with eight arms
(for real I'm arachnophobic though)
@noelle they all look like renders anyway so it might not have been a primary concern but ease of photoshop is always helpful
@noelle I mean yeah, also that 
@noelle this of course is less of a concern for digital watches but a lot of the time the tradition is carried over
@noelle 10:10 is actually a long-standing standard for photographing watches for marketing materials, everyone does it
it's a position that's nice and symmetrical, doesn't cover up any of the bits on the dial like date window, text at the bottom, etc, and it frames the brand name and/or logo that's usually at 12
also it looks a little like a smiley face
@mavica if they're a couple bucks a month cheaper I might give them a shot but massively cheaper? hell no
considering it's a hemp pattern I'm expecting the green version will be repeatedly set to about 20 past 4
And now in actually interesting watch news, these have been announced by Seiko
Seiko Presage "Sharp Edges" series
Nicely finished, 39mm cases, 6R35 movements
The dial is inspired by a traditional hemp leaf pattern from the Heian period (794-1185) and apparently symbolise growth and prosperity
And you can buy all 4 of them for less than the cost of one of the recent Rolex releases (they're $1,000-ish each)
