I’m genuinely interested in why to wear a mechanical watch in the digital age? You can get so much more from a digital device - maps, alerts/schedules, various trackers, emergency calls. Plus imagine selling it in about 10-15 years. People will not be able to read what the hour it is \_-_-_/

no doubt about it and a very valid question. Personally, it’s the love of craftsmanship and intricate design that comes with these watches. The complexity under the hood is amazing and I used to love videos of people taking apart watches as a kid. They also are timeless pieces of jewelry to me, and I’d rather check the time on something that holds intricate value to me over a phone. Maybe a reminder to be less digital too. All that or I could be pretentious, haven’t figured out which one yet 😂
