That's a pretty good example of anti-optimisation. Good for them though.

I'd hate to be the delivery guy though. Potentially going overseas 30 times a year just to deliver a watch, have a celebration with someone you don't know and most likely in a place you no nothing about. Putting it on your cv would be a little difficult to explain too.

Oh well.

I remember seeing an interview with Jean Claude Biver where he said in 1986, if you bought a high end Blancpain he would personally deliver the watch to you.
