Most well-known "luxury" brands are. Real rich person's brands won't even bother selling to the poor. There's currently a meltdown among the middle class because Hermes is laughing them out of the store. It's quite funny.

Seriously. Past a certain level of wealth, you don't even need to buy brand-named items for most everyday things. You don't buy a suit from an expensive brand. You hire a world-class master tailor to custom make you a suit from scratch. It's fit exactly to your body, made to your exact tastes and specifications. The same thing should be possible with watches. You don't buy an expensive brand, you hire a watch maker to make you an entirely custom piece.

I'd imagine that's pretty rare with watches. I'd guess if they aren't just wearing an apple or Samsung watch, they're wearing something like a Parmegiani.

In case anyone else wants to look them up, it's spelled with a third "i" instead of "e" Parmigiani Fleurier

So out of my price range I can't even afford to spell it correctly.
