I think part of what I enjoy in watches is having a well crafted machine on my wrist. The accuracy isn’t in itself, hyper important, as long as the watch doesn’t run slow I won’t be late for things, but I do find a lot more satisfaction in watches that are more accurate, not necessarily just because it’s more accurate, but because to me that signifies to me, that the watch is crafted to a higher standard.
Having these little machines on our wrist that keep time, powered only by our movement, just seems more impressive to me if it can do so with a high degree of precision.
I don’t think I’m alone in this as I’ve seen one or two comments above which have also shared these sentiments.
