Well, pardon us. We balked at the $208 price tag affixed to
Tokyoflash's RPM LED wristwatch, but the value proposition there now
looks an awful lot brighter when compared to this. Manufacture
Royale's looking to catch at least one or two elitists off guard with
its new Opera Time-Piece, a $1.2 million device that's composed of 319
parts in the wilds of Switzerland. Purportedly, it was designed by
Fabrique du Temps, and the minute repeater plays the hours in the key
of A as the minutes chime in C sharp. It's also encased in 18k gold,
sapphire crystal and a healthy dose of self-worth. Word on the street
has it that only a dozen of these will be made available for sale,
with the accordion casing being the standout feature in our eyes. In a
manner of speaking, of course.
