Welcome back Wayne
Now I've never really given much attention to the mechanical Watch, it just tells the time, but just recently I decided to try to understand the key principles and mechanical workings of the wrist watches that I no longer even bother to wear.
I have to say that I am now captivated by the engineering and beauty incorporated in making these devices. I also now understand the reason for the expense for some of these. While there is a degree of wearing a name or a piece of bling on your wrist, with all the celebrities more enamoured by the price than the quality, there is no doubting the engineering and artistic skills required to produce a timepiece.
I watched a programme about Philippe Dufour and how he individually makes every single mechanical part within his watches, each one unique.....
I will never look at a Watch the same again.........
