Why do some quartz watches cost a ton more than others, even when no precious metals or gemstones are used and the watch performs no functions other than basic time?  For example, there are stainless steel quartz Bulgari watches that go between $2k and $3k.  Now, I know Bulgari is a luxury designer and all that, but is that really all you're paying for?  Are the insides any "better" than a quartz that costs $200?

And if that's the case, are there "watch people" (in here or anywhere) who would consider spending that kind of money on a quartz? If not, then what kind of people are buying quartz Bulgaris?
