I have a chronometer in my helicopter and I don't need to know what the time is to the nearest second in my personal life, so I wear a clockwork one. I like old-fashioned things which still seem to have some connection with human beings . I have a lovely Junkers automatic with a Swiss ETA movement with the day and date. It's accurate to within about a minute a week and has lovely clear orange hands and big numerals. I also have a lovely Zeppelin automatic also with a Swiss ETA movement and a very clear black face with white hands. The two together cost me around $1,000. It seems a bit extravagant, but I'm planning on keeping them forever and a day as for me, they're timeless classics.
