Do I still need to maintain my watch in the 21st century?
There is no such thing as gain or loss in the world, it’s just a matter of changing the stars! This is the truth of life. If we don’t take care of ourselves, and we don’t eat or drink, of course we will die, because eating and drinking is the starting point for sustaining life. The watch is man-made, and of course it is not immune to the laws of survival of the earth. It is really difficult to imagine and impractical for man-made objects to be free from this law. Watches naturally follow this natural law, including maintenance. And it is precisely because mechanical watches have such similarities with life and living bodies, many people have a feeling of sympathy for mechanical watches, or even the feelings of treating children or lovers, naturally and treating mass-produced quartz watches. , The feeling of being thrown away is very different.
The close dependence between the mechanical watch and the wearer is very subtle. From a technical point of view, there is a completely dependent relationship between the two, because no one wears it, a mechanical watch cannot operate. Regardless of whether it needs to be wound on the chain, or whether it is self-winding, the watch is motivated by every action of the wearer in daily life. The operation of mechanical watches is entirely dependent on human beings. For example, it takes time to maintain your mechanical watch. You can think of it as a way to show your true feelings and love life. Many mechanical watch fans are keen on this feeling and are keen on maintenance.
