Agreed, there's something so elegant about an anlogue watch.
It's a fashion statement that, to me, says a lot about the gentleman wearing it.
I only wear mechanical analogue watches and yes I do have to wind most of them up.
1. My prime going-out watch, is a Solar Seiko PADI in Deep Blue.
2. My everyday Seiko PADI in Pepsi colour scheme.
3. My other going-out watch is a Seiko White and Blue.
4. My dress-up watch is a Citizen Lunar phase month watch.
5. A lovely Seiko Time and Stopwatch which I found at a bargain price in an antique store.
6. The Apollo commemorative watch that my son gifted me for my Birthday.
7. A very special Reuge Swish Heirloom Musical Gold Pocket Watch which I bought for the birth of my first daughter.
It's a fully mechanical movement and microscopic music box.
The Gold Harp key is used to wind it up and the Alarm function can be set.
When the alarm sounds: the musical movement starts, the lady activates the crank of the fountain, the man on the horse raises and lowers his arm and the horse moves his head.
The back of the watch opens to wind up the music box or manually activate the melody. The open back also serves as a support to hold the watch vertically.
The detail is exquisite on this watch.
Here's a Youtube clip of it's operation.
