: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

: Why a watch at all .. What do mechanical watches fulfill?;
: This is for some of the posts here that wonder whets all the fuss.
: I maybe out on a limb here & I mean no neg harm. There is a
: saying if "I have to explain you wouldn't understand"
: Let me try a bit in my bad English grammar
: Not in any particular order:

: *1st;- A Mechanical watch which deviates by 30 seconds per
: day(86,400 seconds) errs by only 0.035% .In Positive terms its
: 99.965% accurate - A degree of accuracy that FAR exceeds
: anything achieved by hand made mechanical machines. That's 30
: seconds a day. I as a regulator and others can make watches
: under 1 second a day. in all positions & temps..

: **(2nd;- A good Mechanical watch is still made by human hands.
: What do mec. watches fulfill? Everybody needs to be in touch with
: human culture.
: This is so important today to me at least, because we live in such
: a technologically advanced environment. A watch Beats like a
: heart. A watch is Stable and endures It can be handed down for
: generations with all its memories. "This stands in Sharp
: Contrast to the Disposable world we live in today".

: ***3erd;- Look at a good movement ... the Balance the part that
: goes tick tock. It beats like a human heart, It immediately
: expresses that of a living organism. At the same time a watch is
: a thing of beauty, Craftsmanship, labor applied to finishing and
: decorating something as simple as a Micro screw! One can realize
: that watch is also a piece of Art. Watches make folks feel good
: when they buy them and where them. You can change a watch and
: change your mood as driving your different cars ect.

: ****4th;- to sum up: in the 70s the mec watch was all but over with
: the Cheap Quarts watches. some 30+ years later the Swiss watch
: industry is stronger than ever. This shows there a strong
: emotional connection between a mechanical watch and Humans.

: In a world of fast times, fast consumption, it pays "homage to
: the Human Hand". Its is with you for all your days and
: nights, its heart beat is like yours, it represents your
: personality. You take it with you where ever you go. Its a place
: of certainty and comfort while being on a magical journey
: through 15 generations , 100s of years of history.....
: Watches are Art- Science, history and more for the Generations.
: I better go......
