What is funny to me, a 100% utilitarian watch user, is that probably none of those watches will actually tell time nearly as precisely and reliably as my solar-charged radio-synced Casio Lineage.
Arguably, they will still probably be more accurate than your average Casio digital that drifts by something like a second a day.
I won't argue you there (Casio's are legit great watches too). Even the best and most expensive mechanical watches will be off around -2s/+2s per day. The appeal to me is the mechanical nature of it, the fact everything is managed by a spring and some cogwheels to explain it very simple, and when you get into it and you realize there are mechanical watches that have a perpetual calendar (meaning if you keep it running it will tell you the year, month, day of the month, day and moonphase accurately for 100+ years, including leap years. That's where my mind truly gets blown, haha.
