Robert doesn't usually get mad at me. It's not that I am flawless, as my family and friends will gladly tell you and anyone else who'd listen. He is just naturally good-tempered and I am lucky for that. So when he does get mad at me, I tend to remember the occasion. He did get mad at me right before our wedding, when he found out that I had asked my Mom to get me a Gucci watch as my wedding present. It's a beautiful diamond encrusted watch for about $2000. He couldn't understand why I didn't ask for the money to help with our wedding expenses or ask for something more practical that well both of us could use. Why would anyone want to pay $2000 for a watch when a $20 would serve the same purpose, he asked tersely. His reaction was much like Chris Pirillo and his rant about Franck Muller Watches.

Funny thing is we got a tour of the Franck Muller's factory while we were in Geneva for the LIFT conference, complements of Laurent and 1875 Finance. All I can say is Robert is lucky I didn't ask for a Franck Muller's watch where the cheapest one costs about 20 grands and they run up to a million bucks for the one with the most complications. We got a tour of the factory which we should be able to put up on the ScobleShow soon, and watched a master watchmaker at work. He let us hold the watch he was wearing which was about 200 grands. I turned to Guido who was standing next to me and showing him the watch said: I have never held something so expensive. He smiled and pointing to Robert who was filming the interview answered: "Of course you have. There he is."

I guess Guido is right. Robert is worth a lot more than a Franck Muller's watch. I wonder if I can sell him on ebay ;)?
