I'm totally with peterh337 and Justiciar - what's so superior about a mechanical watch, needing expensive servicing every few years and the time re-setting every week or two? My Citizen resets itself to the atomic clock every night, but its predecessor (also Citizen) didn't and was still accurate to within a couple of seconds per year - there's no mechanical watch in the world that can match that.
Sure, you get nice whizzy internals and a smooth sweeping second hand, plus a smug feeling as you contemplate your overdraft. But that's about it.
My 1860s gold pocket watch is a beautiful thing, and I love it very dearly - not least because it's been in the family since then. But I would never defend it as a timepiece...
