Over $3 million each! At that price, do they allow you to tell the time or travel in it? ____________________ If you can keep your head when all about you

Come on, I was trying to get a new wrist watch for months, couldn't decide what brand or even movement. I completely forgot about it and now the idea of new wrist watch is back.  ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

Behind a fairly hideous housing I do like mechanical watches, though I don't have anything particularly flash; a couple of Seikos; an SKX007 diver and an SNK807 for a slimmer watch that fits under a glove more easily, both on NATO straps. A bit of careful setting up and they are good for a couple of seconds a month accuracy. A quartz would be cheaper and more accurate, but there is something rather beautiful about the engineering of a "proper" watch, reassuringly old technology in a world dominated by ultra-high-tech that is constantly on the verge of failing in an expensive and disposable way.
I can understand some of the price of high end watch movements. I find it harder to understand how Seiko can knock out watches based on the 7S26 for so little (even though the assembly is automated). Compare £50 retail for a wonderful piece of precision mechanical engineering with hundreds of precisely machined parts, with £50 retail for a bit of neoprene sewn onto a fairly crude bracket (Urbano muffs that I've been looking at recently). It really doesn't compute! |
