I myself own a couple of 5k watches and I appreciate and understand all of that and also have a watchmaker bench in which I play around from time to time with some tools and cheaper watches due to my passion for these little machines, however there is no justification for a company to charge 50K on a watch. Their markup is way too high.

It was a real PIA needed adjustment all the time. 10 years later, I offloaded it to my more affluent cousin. At the same time, I was selected to become a team member investigating the future of Mechanical Timepieces. There was no earthly way a Mechanical Timepiece could compete with a Electronic and win. We tested hundreds of systems ... the accuracy of time keeping was unmatched. So, it was clear that the future of Mechanical Time Keeping was doomed.

Cue the Quartz Crisis. Even a cheap quartz movement can exceed the accuracy of an expensive mechanical one. But in the modern world we all have phones and computers, even the millionaires and billionaires who can afford these watches rely and depend on the Internet which thanks to technology like NTP (Network Time Protocol) and GPS, allows the use of atomic time sources for synchronization. Strictly speaking, mechanical movements are obsolete. I wouldn't go as far to say the same about quartz because every computer and digital system relies on quartz for a base clock reference. Regardless, a mechanical totally analogue movement is fascinating and a can be an expression of engineering much more obvious than the abstract concepts involved in modern technology like computers and networking, even if they are more advanced.

One thing that amazes me is they're able to make uber-precise parts with ancient tools. I know some of those tools are probably 60-80 years old. Look at their parts cabinets. Those have to be almost a century old. The top of the drawer is polished because everyone is constantly opening/closing it. I wonder how many times a Swiss watch cabinet has to be repaired because it's so old...

Research "the origin of precision" Fascinating topic that coincides with makinds population explosion. Coincides with a time known as the industrial revolution. It enabled it. Aside from that humans have been making time keeping devices for at least 700 years. More than likely much longer.

When it comes to cheaper watches I'm against taking it to an authorized service shop because it costs almost as much as the watch is worth to fix it BUT when it comes to great time pieces like Patek Philipe or other high-end pieces you better take it to them to be fixed. There are very few people that know how to fix complex time pieces and if they can, they probably already work for the company, lol.

You've gotta remember, this is a money making, cash cow... it's the performance that sells a $500 product for $100,000. And the idiots who spend that kinda money on a watch that's less accurate and complex than a timex are all about the show and drama.

So, for the price of one service of this type watch it looks like you can buy several quartz movement (just as accurate) watches that are just as accurate and throw them away when they stop working. Don't see the point in spending that much one of these watches - unless you just gotta show off :) Of course, a watch is just a tool to me - I don't wear jewelry.

I'm sceptical about the heating of the partly closed case to remove moisture. The air inside will expand slightly and take a few percent of moisture away but I see nothing to show how the body of moist air inside the case is made to flow out. I was expecting to see the process carried out with the case open and upside down in a flow of warm dry air.

if you have a million dollar watch, spending a few bucks to keep it in flawless condition is common sense and protects an continually appreciating asset. an orient isnt worth servicing, its a disposable chinese junk watch.

Almost all mechanical watches will work for many years longer than 5 without issue (maybe 15? who knows) but just like not changing the oil in your car, it may run but not well and may fail more catastrophically.

I agree that form should always follow function....but PP watches are not just about aesthetics; they are exquisite pieces of engineering. My everyday car is a Land Rover Defender; the epitome of function over form......but I also have a Porsche Boxster; nowhere near as practical but beautifully engineered and brilliant at what it does......They both have their place and so do high end watches......and G shocks.
