I have a couple of swiss-made with 28800 bph and 21600bph. The latter with 80-hour power reserve. I like watching the seconds-sweep of the former. Both are excellent watches, but as rightly said, I really don't prioritize power reserve over movement accuracy, design aesthetics and build quality. I've a really well-built flieger with a horrendous Miyota 8315 movement - gains 12 secs everyday and doesn't really give 60-hours.
So, I think 'selling' power-reserve is like asking someone to buy a BMW because it has an excellent 10-CD changer player with Bose speakers.
"..our world would be a whole lot less interesting without them." Spot on. My only point is, if they're limited, let them be truly limited, else call them 'special' or 'commemorative' editions, etc. I'd still buy a watch if I wanted to truly get it, irrespective of whether it's limited, special or unlimited; like for example, the Seiko Cocktail time in RED! :)
Thanks for your point of view. This does make sense. I’d not wear my expensive mechanical watches, if at all I chose to wear them on my motorcycle rides. I’ll alternate between the gshock and tissot gentleman.
Sacrilege. Without reading the title, the thought that flashed in my mind when I looked at the image was this 'A new Tissot Gentleman? I like the font weight!' But no, it's a Tudor :)
