Are Jacob and Co and Richard Mille watches good?

I mean these watches are ridiculously expensive, so I'm wondering how they stack up as watches, in terms of reliability and accuracy.

Also, aren't they massively over priced anyway?

It’s not really the point of them to be accurate or reliable, they’re out their designs and very unique and very exclusive. While all expensive mechanical watches are Veblen goods rather than tools these are purely that.
