The Global Market for Swiss Watches

I have always loved mechanical watches. My father used to repair them as a hobby, and that is where my love for them comes from. When the Apple Watch came out, I tried it, but gave it up after a few months.

There were plenty of reasons:

1. You have to wear an Apple Watch all the time. Otherwise, there will be gaps in the data it collects.
2. Wearing it all the time means you cannot wear other watches that might be a better match for your outfit, the occasion and so on.
3. The constant notifications are annoying.
4. The first Apple Watch models were limited in both features and battery life.

So I only wear self-winding mechanical watches. I keep them in a watch winder. Different watches, from different manufacturers, in different colours and styles, with different complications. Each day, I choose the one that best suits my mood, my outfit and the occasion.
