I understand and feel your pain on "The Danger of Horological History being rewritten."
Whilst I have no skin in your game, I must admit I am truly appalled by many of the so-called "professional watch journalists" and the sites they post at. The amount of things I see posted as fact that are just not true truly amazes me. Now all are not the same and I have had interactions where they accept they got it wrong and will edit the posts but the vast majority of sites sadly just ignore any comment they don't like as they couldn't possibly be wrong.
My bug bear is Ultra Thin watches that just aren't I care not what complication or how storied a history a grand maison has a watch that is over 5mm -6mm at a push is quite simply NOT AN ULTRA THIN WATCH and never will be. Not mentioning any names but I saw a post a short while ago that stated their favourite Ultra Thin Watches from W&W 2026. In the first paragraph it even stated how they considered Ultra Thin watches a proper complication unto itself and then listed watches that all were much thicker than 5mm and not Ultra Thin watches at all the only one that was doesn't really can't as you need an external module to wind or set it so a watch of two halves.
