Yeah. A mechanical watch is almost like a companion.

It only "lives" when you wear or wind it. It's only a few seconds of active "work" on your part per day but I find myself feeling kind of paternal toward them, or like I'm caring for a little mechanical pet buddy or something.

Quartz watches and computers in general are also miracles to me, as well!

But mechanical watches are their own special sort of miracle that I really appreciate.
