  "account": "Tech employees are flaunting bespoke Tudor Swiss watches, customized for their respective companies. OpenAI, Uber, and Palantir workers showcased their limited-edition timepieces on social media platform X. Tudor watches, typically priced around $4,500, are the result of requests from employee-run collector groups, with production taking about six months due to a minimum order requirement of 40 watches. The Pelagos model, which was used for Google's customized watches, is particularly rare, with only 400 units made. Customized watches from Tudor are often sold as valuable collector's items in the resale market, with some designs selling for more than $10,000 at auctions.",
