A mechanical watch is an anachronism, it is the ultimate refinement
of “low” technology; collectively they are an obsession shared by the
enthusiasts. Yes, a quartz watch is cheaper and more accurate than a
mechanical watch. A good mechanical watch can typically be made no more
accurate than 2-3 seconds per day. Your typical inexpensive quartz is
usually good to 0.5 seconds per day or better. But mechanical watches
are not about achieving the ultimate in accuracy. Craftsmanship,
aesthetics, and tradition are all part of the allure. Because the wheel
train of an analog quartz watch is not under constant stress from a
wound mainspring, it does not need to be as finely finished, nor does it
require painstaking skill and precision in assembly.
Mechanical watches call to our emotional side. They depend on us for
their very survival; we give it life and sustenance. The automatic takes
its power from our very motions and is a symbiotic organism on our
wrists. It feels alive on your wrists. Without the movement of our own
bodies, there would not be the energy stored in its barrel for its heart
to beat it would die of lack of attention. It is we who feed it and
care for it, like our kids.see more montre bracelet and replica Panerai
