(NEW YORK) — While smartwatches certainly impress as geek chic, they don’t exactly raise eyebrows with the high society crowd, but a new watch company is seeking to bridge both worlds with an really expensive timepiece that also allows one to slum it with the already pricey Apple Watch.

California-based Nico Gerard’s Pinnacle line features a special bracelet that enables the wearer to rock two different watches on the same hand: an elegant timepiece on the front to show off, and the Apple watch’s face on the inside of the wrist.

While not a household name like Omega or Rolex, Nico Gerard makes up for brand recognition with a Pinnacle pricetag that matches its unwieldy, arguably ludicrous design: $9,300 for its cheapest model in stainless steel, all the way up to 112 thousand for its gold version — though the latter comes with a Gold Apple Watch pre-installed, according to Mashable.
