In the end watches have one and only ONE purpose... And it isn't to tell time.

In this day and age their ability to tell time is, relatively, inaccurate compared to other means (like a cell phone) and the answer to, "What time is it" is ubiquitous for the same reason combined with TV, computer monitors and a plethora of appliances. Mechanical watches only exist in this day and age to make people smile: that is their one purpose. Any watch, irrespective of price or prestige that does that is, in my eyes, a great watch.
I was merely trying to highlight the fact that Patek is reducing the amount of labour in some of their watches, while increasing their RRP's versus the competition. That may, or may not matter to any given buyer. It certainly didn't to the character in my story
As they say, amor est amor. And if the watch makes you smile, then I say to you my friend, wear it in the best of health and the best of times.
