As my years go on I find myself increasingly intrigued and in awe of what many might nonchalantly dismiss as old outdated "tech". I don't own such a machine but maybe I should. The wheels, the screws, the parts all brought together and balanced so finely when powered by coiled energy in a tightened spring.

Tick Tock.

Handmade... I am a Goldsmith and know for a fact that in the really early days they could make things that puzzles us now. How did they do it???

Yea, I'm particularly in awe of the balance wheel and the pallet fork.

Yes! This is why I will never buy an Apple Watch et al.
