Tava vendo um video no youtube e li o comentario abaixo quando um usuario questionou o pq dos altissimos preços de alguns relogios... achei bacana e vou compartilhar:
"I'll take a shot at it Benjamin. A couple of years ago I was standing in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and I was looking at the Vincent van Gogh Self Portrait from 1889. I thought it was quite amazing; one of just many amazing pieces of art in that museum in fact.
Now I can take a pretty awesome photo of someone with my iPhone. If I pull out my Sony mirrorless camera, I can take an even better picture.
Technically, my photograph would be a more accurate reproduction of a person's face than an oil painting.
Does this mean that the Musée d'Orsay should just take their priceless works of art and toss them in the Seine and put up some iPhone selfies instead?
Obviously, a mechanical watch cannot compete with a modern cell phone which pulls time from an atomic clock. But it isn't just about telling time. It's about a piece of art that was produced by craftsman who can still produce something mechanical that can measure time without computers, microchips or batteries. Some of those high end pieces can measure moon cycles, the alignment of planets, even know when there is a leap year.
I was in Las Vegas last year and I held in my hand a Patek Philippe that can tell me the correct day and date for the next 100 years, without me having to adjust anything. It's a mechanical piece, and it even knows how to measure leap years! That's just amazing; all with a few cogs and springs.
If that doesn't fill you with wonder, then maybe mechanical watches are not for you.
If I look back at milestones in my life, I can tell you exactly what mechanical watch I was wearing. But not which phone was in my pocket."
É claro que há "n" outros motivos envolvidos, mas acho q ele conseguiu se expressar melhor do q eu conseguiria... rs
