I'm with you...only I prefer analog quartz. Accuracy is important to me. Amazing engineering in those luxury brands along with beautiful and detailed workmanship...but my $200 quartz watch is more accurate than any mechanical Rolex.

Still, hell of a fun video..amazing amounts of detail.

(edit) reminds me of an old tale...some NASA engineers, proud of a fine wire they made..amazingly tiny in diameter. So, bragging a bit, they sent it to a Swiss watchmaker. A few weeks later, the watchmaker sent the wire back to them. Puzzled, they looked at it under a microscope. It had 5 holes drilled through it.
