If there is one thing I obsess about it is a good timepiece.  I cannot say that I have ever owned a Rolex, TAG, or Breitling, but I do appreciate them.  The movement consisting of tiny little wheels, cogs, and springs all fitted together to measure the passing moments.  Absolutely incredible.  To imagine fitting the pieces together, a cog here, a spring there, a crystal here. Perfectly calibrated.  An incredible feat of engineering, which we take for granted.

Even more impressive are handcrafted timepieces.  The master clockmaker carefully constructing the movement, an eyepiece clinched against one eye, carefully and with steady hands placing the pieces together. Calibrating adjusting until it is just right. Honing and milling the casing, polishing it to a shine, fitting the movement into its well-deserved casing, and finally adding his mark to the finished timepiece.
