What do wealthy people buy, that ordinary people know nothing about? (2015)

I have a rotating knob on the micro wave, no manual digital input although it's only a few years old. Fwiw it could be a decade or two old

And I am happy with it. Pretty much prefer it to using buttons.

Just rotate it to about 30, done.

We have a pretty modern one that is a hybrid of these things. It has a knob that is a rotary encoder to quickly spin up a digital time, so it's become "flick of the wrist, START" to hit times I use frequently like 25s, 2m, and 2m50s at full power.

It also has the instant 30s button which my wife seems to prefer to the rotating input.
