The Evolution of Timepieces
In our digital age, it seems like virtually every process has been reduced to a series of code contained in a miniscule computer chip. It may be old-fashioned, but I miss the days when artisanship and intricate movements came together to create precision equipment. One of the places where this integration to the digital age is most apparent is in timekeeping.
Our most accurate timepieces now set themselves through a series of satellites. And while this innovation in the industry is the result of years of hard work and research, I miss the personal touch that was inherent in the watches of yore. There is something astounding about opening up a timepiece and seeing all of the watch parts moving in harmony and knowing that someone went through the painstaking task of putting them all in place.
