The classic mechanical watch is a beautiful object created carefully by mainly one person, while the Apple Watch is a craftsmanship on industrial scale. I think it's fascinating. A utilitarian object can also be a work of art.

- hanief 11y agoTrue on the hardware level, but Apple Watch should be viewed as an integrated hardware AND software. I'd further argue that the software running the watch is actually comparable on craftsmanship level with the gears on mechanical watches.
- hahainternet 11y ago> while the Apple Watch is a craftsmanship on industrial scale I think it's a joke. Personally I am frustrated how Apple was so late to the game but nobody has levelled the same accusations at them as Samsung.
- TaylorAlexander 11y agoThey're not late in the game. The Moto 360 came out just 7 months ago, and Engadget said "It's the best Android Wear watch, but that isn't saying much." It's not surprising that Apple took a few more months to come to market and delivered something significantly higher quality. The game is just getting started.
