WHY THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED
Price primarily pays for all-metal Greek manufacture and tool-steel cutting mechanism. It is a real material-and-mechanics purchase, though decorative finishes can cost much more without adding function.
MATERIALS
BodyBrass/copper
Tough, repairable metal construction that develops patina.
MechanismTool steel
Cuts rather than simply crushes pepper.

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS
Distinctive old-world form with floral relief and hand-crank leverage. Beautiful if it suits your kitchen; requires two hands and is not minimalist.
LONGEVITY
All-metal construction and tool-steel core should last decades if kept dry; verify your chosen brass finish rather than paying solely for ornament.
