ToggleConsidered Works of Art
It depends on your priorities. A mechanical watch costs more to maintain than a quartz watch and it’s also more susceptible to damage. However, a well-maintained mechanical watch can last for many years and is often considered a work of art. If you’re looking for a timepiece that will last forever and appreciate over time, then a mechanical watch is worth considering.Sharon Dylan

Naturally Noble Aura
Yes, mechanical watches are definitely worth it. Though they are not the most modern type of watch, the mechanical watch still exudes a more noble aura than any other quartz or smartwatch out there. Given the intricate design and many minute parts all working together, a mechanical watch is a symbol of patience to achieve success. As it embodies this message, I can say that it is definitely worth it.Chris Walker
