That's why i love my automatic watch, where you can see (and hear!) all those tiny pieces moving. It's fascinating and a master work of centuries of engineering and craftsmanship. Why should i buy a watch made by some mid-20s computer engineers, manufactured by some chinese slave, when i can wear the testament of centuries of finest engineering!
