Well, basically I do agree with you!
The look and feel of these watches is not for me…
But if we only look at the technical part, it’s understandable!
At that time new technology made it possible to make a more accurate watch to a cheaper cost.
Of course manufactures like JLC had to jump on that wagon to meet the wider markets demand…
But for collectors here in this forum I think that one big trigger for most of us are the mechanical challenge to make a watch without a computer chip inside..!
Also imagine where the price level for these small marvels would be without the Quartz setback in the 80’s..?
