When you talk about engineering are you only talking about auto-winding watches? It's the only thing that is guaranteed to work when Russia and China finally get fed up and start hitting us with EMP's…. If we're lucky.
They've got their place but that place isn't in my world. It's funny because I like and own some Casio digital watches and think they look quite cool. But no G-Shocks. I think they are great watches for people in rough professional etc.
But yes I do just mean mechanical watches when I talk about the beauty and engineering etc. On some higher end watches, you get creative engineering require to create "complications" like moon phases and stuff like that. A lot of engineering was required to figure such mechanisms out and perfect them.
Still, I do like digital watches too. On some level they are still functional objects and it's hard to beat a nice clear digital display for readability.
As a bonus, like I said, some digital watches look pretty cool too. Like how can you not love this classic pirate looking mofo:

That watch looks like something a homosexual astronaut would wear on the moon -

2024-06-18 at 9:57 AM UTCI love the slim swatches.
Everytime I'm at the airport I look at them, admiring how nice they look and how thin and light they are, but I'm still all like "I can't imagine paying €150 for this". -
