I found it interesting to learn from the website about the difference between a mechanical (automatic) watch and our usual battery-powered watches:
"A mechanical watch is powered by a mainspring, without using electrical power. The winding of the spring causes the "heart" of the watch to beat, and this human-like quality is one of the unique beauties of Orient mechanical watches. "
You can read a review from the website of the Orient Black Mako.

This watch is really pretty and if it doesn't fit me (I have small wrists), I can give it to my Mom, and if that doesn't work, I can sell it. (At least I'm honest).

ReplyDeleteI really need a watch -- mine is not keeping time the right way. Because of a rare neuroendocrine tumor disorder, I don't have funds to buy a watch.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely detest changing watch batteries. In fact the one that runs mine has been discontinued and I guess when it runs down, that's the end of it. I'd love this one.
ReplyDeleteI love winning stuff and I think that watch would look beautiful on me.

This is a great looking watch and would complement any outfit. (I know we can always get the time these days from our cell phones, but a wrist watch is handier and just looks good.)
ReplyDeleteThe biggest plus for me with this watch is that it is water resistant. So it would be perfect for everyday wear for me.
