Owning a mechanical watch – or, you know, more than one... no judgement here – is great. The movements inside them are arguably among the greatest examples of good old-fashioned engineering in a tiny space.
Look inside and you'll find an elaborate array of cogs, clutches, springs, rotors and more, all working in perfect harmony to keep accurate time. It may seem old hat in the modern age, with smartwatches and smartphones as commonplace as they are, but the majesty is not lost on the watch community. Just look at the sheer volume of new models on display at Watches and Wonders 2023 to see how healthy the market is.
