Would you cycle commute/road cycle with a mechanical watch?

Awesome collection!! Staying small is great. Means you get more wrist time with the watches you own and love
Interesting way to phrase the question. My answer is no if your qualifier for luxury is 5k+, but I own a Tudor and Nomos, both of which were worth around 4k new and I consider them both luxury items.
There have been a few recent posts about the definition of luxury. For me, anything that isn't a necessity is a luxury. I'm fairly generous about how I define 'necessity' and would argue a watch is 'necessary' to tell the time and date if you don't have your phone (or in my case, need to avoid the distraction of picking up my phone and getting side tracked). However an expensive mechanical watch is definitely not necessary and is a luxury to me.
Oris is my favorite because it offers independent watchmaking (outside of the swatch group) at a relatively affordable price point. I prefer them to the traditional answers of Tissot and Hamilton even though they're a bit more expensive because of their uniqueness.
Yep. Such a shame that interesting design is so often unwanted or unnoticed. But that's how the world so often works 🤷🏻♂️
