The original analogy seemed to be exaggerated in order to make a point.
Literally shrieking, a really well-designed smartphone is far from being liver-destroying fast food, but neither is it a world-class jewel-inset watch.
On the nether hind, Rolex began in London and only later moved to Switzerland, nor are the watches themselves handmade. There's a bit of hype in that brand; its quality is partly symbolic (which might have been one of the points of the analogy).
