A separate winding key is just something else to lose, imagine how frustrating it would be to realise you can’t wear your £100,000 watch because you’ve left the key in your other mansion, then you’d have to send your private jet to go and collect it for you because you want to wear that watch at the supermodel party your hosting on your yacht. I’m glad I don’t have those kind of worries.

That water bucket analogy was simply elegant.
@kemperspace4 жыл бұрын
flawed though... water exiting at a higher pressure also exits at a higher flow rate. This fills the bucket faster, dumping the bucket more often per unit of time. For this analogy to suit, it has to be a regulator that creates a uniform rate of flow. All this analogy does is create a uniform pressure on the water wheel... but the rate at which the pressure is applied still decreases over time, thus the water wheel speed will decrease over time as well.
@el-bg4hr4 жыл бұрын
Chad Kemp But isn't the two-water-bucket analogy much similar to how the watch works? The main spring (and the sub spring too) in the watch isn't like a uniform water flow, it's like a bucket of water. Power flow starts strong and gets weakened as time passes. If it could be compared to a uniform flow of water then two-step mechanism wouldn't be of any need in the first place.

I guess these two complications add to the price tag too. Overall impression: everything is relative. Rolex owners now look like some provincial bourgeois.
