Bedeutung
A timepiece that costs a lot.
Kultureller Hintergrund
A 'bahalı saat' is a standard gift for a groom from the bride's family. It signifies the start of their 'time' together and shows the family's wealth. In the business world, wearing a 'bahalı saat' is often seen as a sign of reliability and success. It's part of the 'professional uniform' for executives. Young people often use 'bahalı saat' as a way to show off on social media, reflecting a global trend of luxury consumption as a digital identity. Some believe gifting a watch is bad luck (counting down time). To fix this, the receiver 'buys' it by giving a small coin to the giver.
