Expensive just means that something costs a lot, but there is good reason for the price. Overpriced means that something simply has a cost that is vastly in excess of the materials cost + marketing costs + development costs + manufacturing cost + distribution costs + fair profit.
It is amusing how often I hear about watch movements that took years to get working. Amusing in the sense that a team would spend so much time on a "problem" that already has been solved, but they want to do so in a "different way." Meaning that they must design a new watch movement to tell the time, but make it just different enough to "call their own." In today's world highly trained micro mechanical engineers plot out models for new watch movements and modules on computers before they are ever made. This process can take years. Especially if the desire exists for something unique or complications that are difficult to make.
Watch movements are not only expensive to dream up, but it is also expensive to get movements to work and be durable. This requires even more testing.
Movements aren't always cheap-Some high-end brands make their own movements. Many mainstream brands also make their movements.
