Let me go even simpler. There's still a market for expensive mechanical watches that only tell the time, yet cost more than the most expensive smart watches, and are less acurate than cheap Casios. In short, some people just appreciate beautiful mechanical cool shit and are willing to pay through the nose for it, regardless of specs and benchmarks.

And the mechanical watches will still be repairable and usable one hundred years from now: * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BCO1lNSw-E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BCO1lNSw-E * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EE4E6eUulhw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EE4E6eUulhw * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaVx5LJ7t_c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaVx5LJ7t_c

And if you do damage the case somehow, you can find replacements on e-bay and swap them yourself instead of paying a small fortune to a watch maker to recondition your mechanical watch.
