the handwork and tradition built into a great caliber.No one can dispute that a workhorse
caliber that sits in over 90 % of all watches can be just as reliable as say a caliber that
sits in say a Lange or other high end brands.I do not like everything to be machine finished,
i like a little bit of soul ,and art built into the watches i wear.And to be honest i hate to
wear anything that millions of others wear if i can avoid it.But i must admit some of the greatest
watches ever made ,like the Speedy or the Sub have machine made workhorse calibers
inside them.
                       But if i had the choice between a machine made caliber,or a hand finished
caliber,i would pick the hand finished everytime.

heldigvis lidt for enhver smag - får jeg chancen vil jeg vælge et u-modificeret værk - basic standard - "Skelettering" "perlage" og alt det gøgl gør ikke noget godt for et værk.

Ask any good watchmaker if finishing does nothing for the function of a watch caliber.
Why do you think that some of the greatest watch brands in the world finish their
calibers to a high standard? If you think they do it just for show,you have a lot to
learn about watches.
