"repairing a unique clock" getting costlier doesn't mean technology hasn't gotten cheaper.
check out whether clocks have gotten cheaper in general. the answer is that it has.
there is no economy of scale here in repairing a single clock. its not relevant to bring it up here.
Clocks prices have gone up since 2020. Unless a cheaper better way to make clocks has emerged inflation causes prices to grow.
Luxury watches have gone up, 'clocks' as a technology is cheaper than ever.
You can buy one for 90 cents on temu.
The landing cost for that 90 cent watch has gone way up. Shipping and to some degree taxes has pushed the price higher.
