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.

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.

Timex never needs maintenance. I found a Timex classic mechanical from late 1960s-early 1970s in an old box, wound it up, and it still keeps perfect time.
@thejasonrk6 жыл бұрын
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.
