Yeah I’m not sure if it’s a euphemism for races, a way of saying Ron Paul prefers the company of far younger women or if he was into a cartoon marketed for 6-10 year olds.

Because I once had a coworker who was dead in the eyes unless talking about cartoon horses and man lemme tell ya

There's an article about the guy here, if anyones interested: https://amycastor.com/2021/08/04/fluffy-pony-and-the-irresistible-cookie-jar/.

Really the only comedy is his ridiculous watch, though. Also, he made the age old mistake of chartering a private flight to Mexico that had make a stop in the US to refuel, which has taken down countless criminals.

I did not think it was a tourbillon the way it looked in the earlier pic. Thought it was some collectors edition old rear end transformers kids watch or something. I don’t like it.

gently caress I had a Pac-Man watch in 1985, bitch. Your dumb-rear end bought a watch that doesn’t even have movement keys!!!

Now, if it’s a psychically-controlled watch to play Pac-Man on, I withdraw my statement. I can’t spend all day thought-training my watch like some wealthy coiner.

What is an innovative watch in a world we all have synced computers and cellphones and GPSes piping the same time into everything?

Hell let's put time on the blockchain. Swatch internet time but mined by a billion GPSes trying to get consensus from the federal satellites. Now we are innovating.

That's a bit like asking who cares how fast a person can run when we live in a world with cars and airplanes. There's still something worthwhile in seeing how precise you can make a purely mechanical device, even if only for aesthetic reasons.

I do hate the trend that's arisen where high-end mechanical watches have to make their mechanisms as visible as possible (I guess to prove they're actually mechanical), though.

7+ figure watches are never going to look 7+ figures good so instead they're made to look as extremely dumb as possible, that way plebs like us laugh at them and give the owners an excuse to explain how much their watch costs, which is of course the only point of a 7+ figure watch
