I wrote last week that I expected the top-end Apple Watches to be priced at close to $10,000. If anyone was in any doubt as to the price of this thing, Jason Snell shared an interesting tidbit on his new Six Colors blog:

“Here’s one sign just how luxe the Apple Watch Edition will be: When I was in Cupertino I got to handle the box that it will come in.

Yes, there’s a special box. It’s covered in leather. Inside is a magnetic charging cradle, and on the back of the box base is a slot into which you plug a Lightning connector. That’s right: The Apple Watch Edition is so fancy that the box is its own accessory.”
