But for me, less is more. I like the simplicity of the dial without telling me how it winds, how many feet underwater it can go, if it’s a certified this or that, etc.
And if it balances the dial then surely non-automatic watches should say HAND WOUND? But we don’t see that…it’s a tradition which dates back to a particular time when being self-wound was new. (Ah, the Tudor “ROTOR”, that’s another one.) Today, there’s no need.
