Recently, I posted about the limited edition Sinn 142 and Technomarine replica watches added a link to an article on Chuck’s blog.In the comments of my post, Chris (Christopher Meisenzahl) made a remark about the golden age of mechanical watches which should be somewhere between 1940 and 1970.Here is a quote from his comment:I know that in the mech.golden age (maybe 1940 to 1970?) watches were largely sold on the number of jewels, brand recognition, and amount of precious metal.But without the intricate knowledge that us WIS nuts have pulled together in our communities over the last decade, I suspect that movements would come and go withing anyone outside the company really caring or knowing.
This is all true, and should be written somewhere in the historybooks of Patek Philippe replica watches.However, I gave the golden age’ of mechanical watches a long thought and I think the Golden Age of mechanical watches was not in the era that Chris mentions, but I think it is now.Ofcourse, in the days before tuningfork and quartz, people had no choice.They had to wear a mechanical watch, so in that point of view, it was at least the age’ of mechanical watches.However, the golden-part should be added after that era.
In these days, a mechanical watch is luxury.You can buy a 10 Euro quartz watch in the supermarket, a quality quartz watch like a Seiko or Swatch can be had for 40 Euro.That money doesn’t buy you a mechanical watch.People who adore mechanical watches are paying extra.And like every extra’ in life for luxury, you have certain Zenith replica watches levels of it [luxury].You can adore cars and be perfectly happy with your restored MGB, but some people take it a few steps further and buy Jaguar E and XK types for hobby.
