Can You Tell a One-to-One Watch from Its Handmade or Machine-Made Details?

Watch Encyclopedia2,246

The same goes for wristwatches. The idea that a handmade watch is better than a machine-made watch is basically that of a wall clock idiot. This is because wristwatches came into existence solely thanks to mechanized (serialized) production. Without mechanization, there would be no wristwatches. Anyone who plays with watches knows the place La Chaux-de-Fonds. This place is a craft workshop and even a world heritage site. It is precisely because the owner of the workshop here did not realize this until his death that he was eventually eliminated from the market and became the dead city of the brand. Only a few brands survived, such as Girard-Perregaux watches. The brands that fled to the neighboring canton of Bern have become world-famous brands (Omega, Longines) because there were no forces against mechanized production. La Chaux-de-Fonds is now an OEM base for world-famous brands, now mechanized. So who is still sticking to craftsmanship? A: The cutting-edge appellations. The cutting-edge appellations are Geneva and Tenugui. The tradition of hand-decoration has been preserved here.
