Ha ha love the digital watch quotes from hitch hikers guide - despite being very anti digital watch. I’ll let Douglas Adams off though

Ventura actually originally designed the easy skroll system and licensed it to Braun. Also made the first kinetic digital. Proper innovators!
I’m definitely focused on story. Most often is some sort of technological innovation, but a cool pop culture reference is also common
I run a channel on watch history (inclusive of mechanical!) and it’s a great (and inexpensive) way to enjoy the hobby. I’ve actually not said digital is best - I’ve provided reasons why someone might consider incorporating more digitals into their collection and some frustrations I’ve had / limitations I’ve seen - with mechanicals of the luxury and affordable kind. Opinion of course and a genuinely held perspective (if weird!). The sorts of vintage digitals you mention do come with those caveats which are totally fair to call out. It’s a big blue ocean of choices behind those specific ones though and warrants exploration. I love an NH35 based watch (and similar), I just think that variety is the spice of life and the technologically curious can find some cool pieces in digital land if they are looking for something with an interesting story (beyond the shared one you mention).
Thanks! Garmin used by some hardcore people so some fun options there too : https://youtu.be/r76OayL3HzQ?si=Y8be6N4Pny3PMjmI .
