Myth 7: Mechanical is better than quartz
Does your mistrust of quartz make any sense?
The reason why I prefer manual and automatic watches over quartz is …
Um …
I don’t know.
No matter how many times I think about this, I cannot come up with a single, genuinely good answer. Do I believe a mass-produced ETA movement has more romance than a Casio? No. And yet I, too, somehow give it more value. So … (insert awkward pause here) … if there were a moral to this column – and by now I suspect we all know there isn’t – it would be that people who are opinionated about watches do not always make sense. And by not always, I mean hardly ever.
