watches or brands we dislike

Det er ikke kun værket jeg snakker om, men også lænke, glas, lume, osv.
Der halter vintage alvorligt efter nyt.

True many things are better on modern watches because we have machines to do the work on the simple things.But the heart of any watch is the caliber and in that respect most modern watches do not come close.Production costs mean that to buy a modern watch with the same amount of hand work and finish in a vintage watch,would cost you maybe a hundred times more.Machines are a wonderfull thing when people talk about watches with soul I bet there is more watchmaking skill involved in the making of a simple vintage Omega or IWC watch than you will ever see on the production line at Rolex or Brietling modern watches.The cleaning lady at these factorys could build these watches.And that is not a joke.
