imagine PAT testing it and it failed...
i mean, for that price, I would want to know if it worked.

I think it is a brilliant marketing ploy. I mean, how many do they really expect to sell at that price? One? Two? It's not about the selling but its about brand awareness. It's a talking point. We are outraged by this so we are talking about it. That's what they want. It's basically free publicity, worth far more than taking out and advert in glossy mags. If a person (fool) does buy one (really you'd need at least two - one for source, one for amp) then they are likely to have a system costing many tens of thousands of pounds that they have tweaked and pimped to the n'th degree until there is nothing left to do apart from the fuse. If they are gullible enough. I reckon they would need at least 10 fuses. 3x source (Turntable/CD/Streamer); 1x Control Amp; 6x Power amps (two channels and tri-wired); oh, and one for their electric toothbrush charger, so make that £88,000. A veritable bargain I say!

The whole thread is full of bewilderment and contempt.
What an advert.

What, every one of us, tell them we're as excited as they are about the 22 years of research into bottleneck distortion - and would like a home loan of a fuse.

This thread has seriously made me start thinking about splashing some cash on an impressive watch. They are very reasonably priced in light of £4200 and £8000 fuses. Time to get serious and stop reaching for my cell phone again and again.

That is truly repulsive, as well as rather less intuitive to read than an ordinary watch.
As for phones versus watches, far easier to tilt the wrist that take a phone out of your pocket, and no danger of dropping the former. Having done the latter two or three times, it's not for me.
I'm a believer in what people choose to spend their money on is up to them, but I know I'd feel that there was something deeply wrong with my choosing to wear a watch that cost more than some people's houses.

I have a couple of watches I bought decades ago. I think one is solar powered, but I don't intend digging it out and wearing it. I would never wear a watch now, as I never need anything but my phone to tell me the time. Watches are relics in my opinion and many of them are bling and jewellery. This £200k monstrosity is everything I hate about this sort of product. Some people have no sense of taste, buying stuff like this. It's truly hideous. It's also very impractical as a watch. I've always had a utilitarian view of technology, where form follows function and I'm not interested in overcomplicated aesthetics, just for the sake of having them.
