I said the "analogue" interface. You may compare a digital watch, or even a quartz watch, to a mechanical watch in the same way you might compare a Corolla or a WRX to a 911. Each has its place.
However, if you appreciate this:
to take even a mechanical movement like the Unitas or garden variety ETA such as in that watch and "improve" it by creating a watch that tells the time to the nearest 2.5 minutes, is plain stupid. Form over function.
Has it character? Yes it does.
