school fees for watches that allow you to do these things?

　　If justice were done,the Swiss watch industry should have closed down when the Japanese discovered how to make accurate watches for a five-pound note.Instead the Swiss reinvented the watch,with the aid of millions of pounds worth of advertising,as a message about the man wearing it.Rolexes are for those who spend their weekends climbing icy mountains; a Patek Philippe is for one from a rich or noble family; a Breitling suggests you like to pilot planes across the world.

　　Watches are now classified as “investments”(投资）.A 1994 Patek Philippe recently sold for nearly ￡350,000,while 1960s Rolexes have gone from ￡15,000 to ￡30,000 plus in a year.But a watch is not an investment.It,s a toy for self-satisfaction,a matter of fashion.Prices may keep going up — they,ve been rising for 15 years.But when fashion moves on,the owner of that ￡350,000 beauty will suddenly find his pride and joy is no more a good investment than my childhood Timex.
