There are certain things that have been common and iconic in modern society for a very long time. Some of these things have become ideograms in and of themselves, representing concepts almost like a pictograph. A lightbulb represents an idea, a newspaper represents information, a watch represents time or, on some computers, something being underway.

However, you may notice that a lot of these things are obsolete in the modern world. Sure, they still exist, but nobody really uses them. Most people don't buy newspapers, most people don't use Edison lightbulbs anymore, and yes, there is a decreasing popularity when it comes to watches, at least traditional pieces made by a Luxury Watches Manufacturer.

Despite this, high-quality watches from a Swiss Watch Factory still commonly represent wealth, professionalism and a type of mature taste even among younger generations and spite of a decreasing adoption of this very old but reliable technology. So, what is the actual benefit, the on complying with that still-prevalent professional image, of a piece from a luxury Watches Factory?

Well, the truth is, when it comes to telling time, digital technology isn't actually as helpful as you might think, or that is to say, it isn't really that much more superior than mechanical approaches. Ancient, early mechanical clocks were famously unreliable, and getting clocks working the can handle the rocking of ships was a major challenge during the age of exploration and colonialism. However, by the 19th century, pocket and wristwatches had reached a point of such elegant and precise engineering that it would take blunt force impacts to stop them.

They are not susceptible to humidity, they are not susceptible to electromagnetic pulses, they will even continue to run after being subjected to electric shocks. They do not admit any sort of interference, making them safe to wear in radio-sensitive areas, in other words, being a mechanical construct, they are reliable anywhere the standard laws of Newtonian physics are in place.

However, not just any old mechanical watch will do. You want Swiss precision and craftsmanship, because this is the type of engineering that can withstand all of these factors, while still remaining reliable and precise. Also, looking at a man or woman's watch in a professional environment, as well as their shoes, or practices that have bridged generations due to the overlap inherent to generations working together professionally. Your watch will say a lot about your tastes, your personality and what you want people to feel about you when making a first impression.

Having a high-quality watch that matches your taste in design shows an attention to punctuality, image and standards. So, in an age where most watches are smart watches, and were a lot of people who aren't otherwise fond of jewelry simply look at their phone, there is definitely a place for the precise Swiss engineering of a mechanical wristwatch. This will probably never change. People will be wearing these on Mars and among the far-off stars we explore in the future.
