·Often I see a watch and think it’s attractive, and then I see a picture of the back and it has a viewing window and suddenly I don’t like it anymore.
For me there’s something crude about it. It’s too revealing. Like a mankini. I love the mechanics of watches, but somehow they should be left alone to get on with their job in privacy. A watch movement is not a creature in a zoo, there to be gawped at.
I don’t want to look at the movement working. I know it’s working because the watch is telling me the time. I don’t need the manufacturer to prove to me I have a mechanical watch by allowing me to see it being all mechanical.
It’s the same with those dreadful cars where half the bonnet (hood) is removed so you can see the rubber and chromium plated pipes. Put them away. Nobody’s interested in your flashy, noisy, gas guzzler.
The first time I saw a Railmaster Co-axial with a display back I was so disappointed. I thought Omega had more class than to do that.
Know what I mean?
