NY Times: These Days, Watches Are for Almost Anywhere but the Wrist
NY Times: This Watchmaker Admits to a Longtime Obsession

There’s a watchmaker in Germany who specializes in servicing Soviet era watches: https://www.poljot24.de/en/
On the one hand, you’re completely correct. These watches shouldn’t be compared to one another.
On the other hand, feature by feature, these watches are functionally equivalent to each other. A moon phase complication is a moon phase complication.
The greater question here is what are the non-equivalent factors that cause one watch to be so much more expensive than the other.
I appreciate, respect, and own Swiss mechanical watches. I can justify to myself spending between $1,500 to $15,000 for an excellent watch from Omega, Tudor, or Rolex.
But $150,000 for a Swiss watch? There are other factors at play here beyond quality and precious metals.
Why is the brand of Patek Philippe worth 5,000X+ more than the Casio for a functionally equivalent watch?
It’s clearly worth more, but that much more?
