Mechanical watch making is far from dead, it has begun its third renaissance

While they might be mechanically good watches, most of them look like my damn gas meter!!

Exciting and innovative timepieces. I love the Gruebel Forsey watches. They are very unique with the ability to still tell the time. Most of them are in the $300,000 - stratosphere pricing so I am not going to have to worry about it anyway. Oh wait.......................I have that in my retirement fund.

You like Greubel Forsey? Why didn't you say so? I threw one away this week, together with some other old rubbish like a Patek Calibre 89
