If the other ''high end'' brands that cost $100k+ were selling their watches at $13.5k they would still be on profit too

[@HALLish-jl5mo]

Yeah, it’s priced at “you’d have to be an idiot to buy one, but I expect they’ve got a profit margin of about 20% if it’s low volume”, as opposed to most high end watches, which were priced by someone who used to price luxury cars and doesn’t quite understand that a watch isn’t that complex.

[@Etheoma]

@@HALLish-jl5mo Dude, like the manufacturing costs at assuming a reasonable level of optimization it's like $1000 that doesn't mean it's reasonable to pay $1000 it's very common to pay 3x the manufacturing cost for a good because there are other costs and they do need to make a profit. so $13.5k you still need to have more money than sense.

[@HALLish-jl5mo]

@@Etheoma Manufacturing and design costs per unit are VERY dependent on economy of scale. Sure if you made 10k of these watches the price would be overkill, but low volume, 13k seems reasonable.

[@Etheoma]

@@HALLish-jl5mo assuming you believe only 100 units will ever sell you would just make the 100 units because it would be cheaper to do it that way, second at 13k if we again assume the manufacturing costs as I said were $1000 per unit that leaves 4.3k per unit for the development of the watch that would be 430k costs which as said is not reasonable. like if we are talking about a year of engineering time which is overkill a mid level engineer makes about $100k for something that compared to a lot of things isn't really that complex, it's not even as complex as an engine or something like that, where like yeh if you were only ever making 100 engines of a specific type yeh it's gonna be dummy expensive, but again we are talking about a watch which isn't that complex a years of engineering time is already excessively long. in that padded case $6k might make sense.

[@HALLish-jl5mo]

@@Etheoma Its not a question of making too many or two few, it's the fact that manufacturing costs drop off dramatically with quantity. I remember buying custom springs, I was quoted several hundred for the first spring, and a dozen pence for each subsequent spring, because setting up the machine tool all day, running it took seconds. For some components once you drop below a certain volume you make them by hand. I don't do watches, but I do design other things, and low scale manufacturing costs a FORTUNE

[@andyc7724]

I like it, but it'll be a really tough sell at that price point. Not because it's overpriced, but because if I were looking to spend that much on a watch, I'd want to be sure it came with a long-term manufacturer's warranty and support, and was sufficiently well-known in the market that I'd have a chance of selling it again at some point in the future. I had a poor experience with Zeroo last year which highlighted just how important it is to be able to take a faulty watch into a relatively local jeweller to be fixed. There's no way I'd spend close to 10x the price of that watch on one for which the only service or warranty option involves shipping it back to China myself.

[@parmenides130e]

This is the best comment in the entire feed, and it nicely captures the entire problem with the current state of Chinese products -- great technical virtuosity but far from consistent or dependable reliability and customer service and nowhere near the track record of (the admittedly over-priced) watch houses referenced at the beginning of the video.

[@charliebad]

Love my open heart Ali watches, but when I buy, one of the reasons is that I'm OK if it fails within 5 years....thing is none have (àpart from one very short energy bank) so at what point do we say yeah, we've been kinda ripped off in the past and you all know it!

[@baxoutthebox5682]

I’ve found zeroo’s customer service to be great. What happened with yours?

[@andyc7724]

@@baxoutthebox5682 A few months after I received my T4, the winding mechanism stopped working. They asked for photos of the watch, which I was happy to provide. They then made it clear they thought I'd damaged the mechanism through abuse, and insisted that I arrange as well as pay for insured shipping to and from Japan in order to fix it. That's a costly and time consuming exercise even if you don't get stung for import taxes because you failed to tick some box on a form somewhere. For a while I wondered if perhaps I had somehow managed to damage the watch, though it's far from being the only watch in my collection, and the only one that I've ever had break. I couldn't think of any occasion when I'd carried on winding past the point at which the crown stops turning easily. After all, why would I? Eventually I realised it didn't really matter either way. If you're making a complicated product at this price point, and especially if you're a relative newcomer to the market trying to establish a name for yourself, you accept that occasionally things will go wrong. It's more important to look after your customers - even if one or two are a bit clumsy - than it is to save a few $$ on shipping. At the very least, even if you feel the need to charge the customer, you offer to arrange the courier through your own shipping dept who are far more familiar with the right way to send expensive watches around the world than your customer is. To add insult to injury, I could see from the comments on their crowdfunder site that I wasn't the first to have a T4 break, but for some reason I had to pay while others before me had been properly taken care of by Zeroo customer service. That left a particularly sour taste. As soon as it came back I checked it was working, then immediately sold it. I knew I'd never enjoy wearing it, always worrying about how fragile it might be, and what a costly and time consuming exercise it would be to get it fixed if it did break again.

[@ariantosetiawan9927]

This is an in house movement, behrens manufactured it and marketed themselves, zeroo in the other hand does not, zeroo uses chinese movement, and asembled in japan. So don’t expect the same quality.

In future, can see a hologram dancing on the lense?

[@behemothinferno]

I am all for such brands. Producing fakes hurts the original manufacturers and are terrible for the industry. Glad that there are such Chinese brands that are breaking the cycle of fakes and actually coming up with original designs. If I was on the market for such a watch but don't have hundreds of thousands to spend, it's awesome to know that I there are options in my budget. Hopefully more companies producing fakes will switch to creating original designs instead. There's always a market for high value pieces and this seems to be one of them.

[@kuhndj67]

So while the basic mechanics look fantastic... I'm seeing uneven machining lines in the gears that would not be present on one of its 6-figure competitors (and I assume there will be many finish errors on the watch if you look closely), and it's really those little details that people who look at that sort of price range are interested in.

China has the ability to produce cutting edge, high quality goods for a long time already. They just don't do it often because they are busy expanding their productive forces to produce affordable goods that people all over the world can buy. They make goods to the exact specifications you want, and if you want cheap things, you get cheap things. But the fact is that even high quality goods are still make relatively far cheaper in China than anywhere else. The fact that Chinese high tech goods today like EVs, chips, and consumer electronics are made far cheaper and often at the same quality, if not higher quality than any factory in the west is a testament to China's manufacturing capability. Their rapid modernization of their military and reaching parity in technology with the west should already give you a clue to the manufacturing prowess of the country because that is one area China will not cheap out on quality. China is already there, it is just whether they want to do it or not. If they want to make luxurious, overengineered, overwrought, highly unique and innovative products, they can, and they will make it cheaper than anyone else. It is only because of western propaganda that create this illusion that China is still a copy-cat, low quality, low tech, low brow country. They launch their own space station and build their own 5th gen fighter jets FFS. This is why Ford's CEO said that Chinese cars are an "extinction event" for western car manufacturers, after him and his CFO driven Xiaomi's new car. This phenomena is the same across numerous important industries. The west simply cannot compete anymore, except maybe in war-making, public opinion manipulation, and financial gambling.

Your honestly surprised that they don't need to charge anywhere near what they do charge.

Based on the clickbait title, I expected a price of at most $1,000
