If you call yourself an engineer, your focus might be to perform a task (eg: "giving correct time") as cheaply, efficiently and practical as possible. In that regard, Patek Philippe watches are nowhere near your standard of "beauty". I understand you might appreciate the design, and craftsmanship of those watches, but don't disregard other engineers who focus their attention on other features like portability, reliability, resistance and so on. Those are not taken into account by high horology, and also require ingenuity and craftsmanship. Do not loose respect for the guys that care to design a watch that you will actually be able to afford, that can be mass produced, and give time (and easter date !!) reliably for the next 100 years or so (do you really need more ?).
