路You are speaking as an individual who is a watch aficionado, a tiny slice of humanity. Most people wear a watch to tell the time, and they want it to look good. They aren't interested in the mechanics making it show the time, and they don't want to interface with it in their daily lives. No puzzle at all.
You are probably correct, although I was referring to our sub-group of humanity - the watch collectors who prefer automatics to hand-winding.
