Images of Ultra-Rare Apple Watch Band Designed for Sir Jony Ive Surface Online

Not quite the same as getting a Rolex with and engraving

It's not about the money. That is a stupid game to play, especially with people like Ive. He would probably laugh at the thought that a Rolex is a luxury for him (and he probably hates a clunky "in your face" design or overt displays of wealth). He would probably get something made by Patek Philippe or similar to his own specifications - and thin! I loathe watches like Rolex, and that is not because I couldn't buy one if I really wanted one.

First of all I never said that it's about the money — it's about worth. Old Rolex watches hold their value, while old Apple Watches are nothing but obsolete(and this isn't even a watch).

Secondly, maybe you don't need to speak to what Ive would 'probably' do/want?.. It seems a bit like a fantasy game

Jony Ive was knighted? For what?

Correction: It's not Sir Jony Ive, it's Jony Ive. We're not in England or a Commonwealth Realm. We don't have titles.

Really? Just Princess Anne?

Could have been much worse. Like her younger brother. You know, the one who can't physically sweat apparently.

Jony Ive was knighted? For what?

Far more than the vast majority of other recipients.

Good to see this. Other than the pin it looks like there is no other difference.

What an utter piece of crap. I'd have left the company, too.

"Sir" ... I still can't get past that. It's just a wee bit ridiculous.

I’m not even sure who she is and I’m not a British citizen, but I’d take it.

More ridiculous than wearing a powered wig on one’s head while having very serious discussions with other men who are also wearing powdered wigs and taking themselves very seriously?
