Are we talking aesthetics here or something else? I don't disagree with aesthetics; I'm the guy with the vintage tube hifi. But I'm interested if I'm missing other aspects.But anybody who thinks a minicomputer on your wrist can reproduce the function of a mechanical timepiece is equally daft.
Principally aesthetics. But there's also something about a hand-crafted object of miniature precision that can be hundreds of years old and still functional. Plus you put it to your ear and it ticks at you. Dunno. I'm more of a clock guy but nobody gives a fuck about clocks. It's all about the watches. And they won't teach you clocks until you know watches.
