Hey there, let’s talk about this here Reverso Hybris Mechanica Calibre 185 watch. I ain’t no expert, mind you, but I heard some things, seen some things, and I’m gonna tell ya all about it, the way I understand it, ya know?
So, first off, this watch, they call it the Reverso somethin’-somethin’. Sounds fancy, right? Well, it is kinda fancy, I guess. It’s got like, four faces! Can you believe that? Four! Like, one ain’t enough, they gotta put four on there. They say it’s the first watch in the whole wide world with that many faces. Don’t ask me why you need four faces on a watch, but hey, I ain’t the one makin’ ’em, I’m just tellin’ ya about ’em.
Now, this here watch, it’s made of somethin’ they call “white gold.” Sounds expensive, don’t it? And it is! They say it costs somethin’ like, close to two million dollars! Two million! For a watch! I could buy a whole farm, a big one, with that kinda money. Heck, I could probably buy the whole dang town! But these rich folks, they spend that much on a watch. Goes to show, huh?
- It’s got four faces.
- It’s made of white gold.
- It costs a whole lot of money.
They say this watch has got all sorts of “complications.” Eleven of ’em, to be exact. Now, I ain’t sure what a “complication” is on a watch, sounds like trouble to me. But they say it’s a good thing, makes the watch all fancy and special. I guess it’s like, it can do more than just tell time, ya know? Maybe it can tell ya the weather, or when to plant your corn, or somethin’. I dunno, I’m just guessin’ here.
But here’s the kicker, the thing that got me thinkin’. They say the back of this watch, it’s blank. Just plain metal. And you know what they do with that blank space? They write stuff on it! Like, little pictures, or letters, or whatever you want. They call it “personalization.” Sounds fancy, but it’s just like when I carve my name on my wooden spoon, ya know? Only they’re doin’ it on a two million dollar watch! Crazy, ain’t it?
Now, some folks say this watch is too expensive. They say for that kind of money, you could get a Patek somethin’-somethin’. I ain’t never heard of no Patek, but I guess it’s another fancy watch. And they say this Reverso thing, it ain’t even waterproof. Not really. You can’t go swimmin’ with it, or washin’ dishes, or nothin’. So, what good is it then, huh? If you gotta take it off every time you wanna do somethin’ normal, seems like a pain to me.
But I guess if you got two million dollars to spend on a watch, you ain’t worried about washin’ dishes, right? You got someone to do that for ya. And maybe you ain’t worried about swimmin’ either. Maybe you got your own private pool, and you just sit by it, lookin’ at your fancy four-faced watch.
So, what’s the deal with this Reverso Hybris Mechanica Calibre 185? Well, it’s a fancy watch, that’s for sure. It’s got four faces, it’s made of white gold, it’s got a bunch of “complications,” and it costs a fortune. And you can write on the back of it, if you want. It ain’t practical, it ain’t cheap, and it probably ain’t for folks like me. But hey, it’s somethin’ to talk about, ain’t it? Makes you think about all them rich folks and their fancy ways. And it makes me appreciate my old Timex, that’s for sure. It may not have four faces or be made of gold, but it tells time just fine, and I ain’t afraid to wear it while I’m washin’ the dishes.
One more thing, they got some kind of talk about translation and dictionary and stuff. I don’t know much about that, seems like they use this “reverso” for figuring out foreign words. Like if some fancy city fella comes around speakin’ gibberish, maybe that reverso thingy can help you understand him. But that’s just my guess, I ain’t never used one myself. I just speak plain English, the way the good Lord intended.
And they also use it for school learning, something like them “flashcards” my grandson use in that town school. But I am not sure how it works, too many newfangled thing for an old woman like me. I guess these rich folks with their fancy watches, they got all kinds of fancy learning tools too.
Anyways, that’s all I gotta say about this here Reverso watch. It’s a fancy thing, for fancy people, with a fancy price tag. Me, I’ll stick with my old Timex and my good ol’ common sense. That’s worth more than all the gold in the world, if you ask me.
