The post have many faces.
You can point the downside of time, but there are also good sides about time.
Decay is a part time does, time also create.
When somebody dies when the person is very old, a baby born.
When a tree is gone, a seed becomes a new tree.

Why we love mechanical watches and turn our face away when we even heard about quartz and smartwatches like Apple, Samsung, and the others.
The post tell all. Supplement this with, time runs it’s own way. In my case this is reality, so mechanical watches are like a partner. Not perfect, but hoping it is perfect.
I sit on my coach, look at my Baume and Mercier Classima 10333 bought in Berlin. It runs 1 minute in the plus and a little at this moment.
Not accurate, but i wil not be too late if i scheduled something. Rather too early. I can tear out the crown, and set my watch accurate on time.

Quartz watches are overrated as the perfect timekeeper on a wrist. I have experienced quarts watches which hold no time. And i do not like batteries and accumulators. Replacement of batteries is not always the clue to let a quartz watch run, if the watch is broken. Quartz calibers are mostly plastic with metal parts, mass produced.
The affordable quartz watches are in the reach of most people, and that is no problem. It can result in a mechanical watch interrest.

Smartwatches are stupid when it comes to sustainability. The hype around it, it is a strange thing. A plastic inferior peace of product.

Sustainable mechanical watches. A heart to pass along family members, the flee market found in which brought new life by it’s new owner, the watch of kings and celebrities which displayed in museums.
Louis Moinet, Abraham Breguet, Jaquet Droz, Napoleon, Marie Antoinette, Sir Winston Churchill, the Rolex of Roger Federer, and you. Mechanical watches are a big thing, and while the accuracy is not always perfect, it have that human feel of owning a heart.
