मतलब
A watch that costs a lot.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Giving a watch as a gift is often avoided because of the superstition that it leads to a breakup. If you do give one, ask for a coin in return. A high-end watch is often seen as a sign of reliability and success in Ukrainian corporate circles. It is a non-verbal way to signal one's 'level'. The 'watch check' is a popular hobby for Ukrainian journalists who monitor the wealth of public officials. Modern Ukrainian youth are moving away from expensive mechanical watches towards smartwatches (Apple Watch), though 'дорогий годинник' still refers to the classic luxury versions.
