Chronometer (aka yacomino) initiates a compelling discussion on the new Accutron watch, drawing attention to its intriguing movement. This thread explores whether modern interpretations of classic horology, particularly those incorporating advanced quartz technology, resonate with purist collectors. Chronometer's original post serves as a launchpad for a nuanced debate on aesthetics, innovation, and the enduring appeal of mechanical versus electronic timekeeping.
This is just so wrong. I know, I know, the green makes it look benign, but one day when you're not looking and BAM.
I held the flashlight while he did the work. I learned many new words I was not allowed to repeat that evening.
from them in a long time. That needs to change.
it came out. Same pull for the new Bulova Digital and the Hamilton PSR. I now have both of those but they were inexpensive where this isn't. I have two Perrelet Turbine watches and they are really fun conversation pieces... that plus the nostalgia was a draw but the size and cost are cancelling that now for me. Generally I'm not into electric anything with very few exceptions. Prefer mechanical stuff, cars, cameras, watches in particular.
The size, weight and price tag, it has to be worn enough to keep it charged up.
I honestly do really like and I think it is a great gateway towards a problem that has always plagued quartz watches, beauty. With the amount of possibility for finishing here and to stylize it further, it will be intersting to see what they do in the future. So, overall, I would buy it but it would not be my first choice and I would want to wait and see if they do anything more special to it.
