...but they've already distributed the copied design to X people, so 21 million / X is probably a reasonable cost.

I don't know if Apple using that design is great advertising for Mondain (who make a range of nice watches) or if it has trashed the value of those watches.

I think that if I'd spent £500[1] on a watch that I wouldn't want it to be on everyone's iPads.

[1] most of the watches are much cheaper than that.



I've got a Mondaine Big Date, which was about $160. Personally, I'm quite pleased that Apple adopted the design, for the same reason I bought the watch last year: it's a beautiful, very readable design.


Yep, love my very simple Mondaine Evo. The thing's crazy readable; I can read it in the very lowest of light conditions and from steep angles too.
