Technically, obviously it is interesting and it is an achievement. However, i don't get its purpose as a wrist watch. If one loves mechanical systems, then one would get a mechanical watch. If one loves accuracy and one lives in the covered zone, then one...
But they will only be making 100 of this, so Citizen is aware of the limited appeal. Cost is also partially justified by the fact it's a precious metal. The titanium version is produced in greater number and less than half price.
