Recently, I announced about the limited edition Sinn 142 and added a bond in an article on the blog of the chuck. In the comments of my post, Chris (Christopher Meisenzahl) made a remark about the golden age of the keyless watches which should be some share between 1940 and 1970. Here a quotation of its comment:
I know that in the mech. golden age (perhaps 1940 1970) watches were mainly sold on the number of jewels, the identification of mark, and the quantity of noble metal. But without knowledge complexes that we nuts of WIS gathered in our communities during the last decade, I suspect that the movements really concern and go from no matter whom apart from the company worrying or knowing.
It is very true, and should be written some share in the historybooks of the watches. However, I gave to the `the old one of gold of the keyless watches a long thought and I think the golden age of the keyless watches did not take place in the era that Chris mentions, but I think that it is now.
Ofcourse, in days before tuning fork and quartz, people did not have any choice. They had to use a keyless watch, thus in this point of view, it was at least the old one of `keyless watches. However, of but-part should be added then which era. In nowadays, a keyless watch is of luxury. You can buy a quartz watch of euro 10 in the supermarket, a watch of quartz of quality like Seiko or the sample can be have for euro 40. This money does not buy a keyless watch to you. People who adore the keyless watches pay extra. And like each extra of `in the life for the luxury, you have certain levels of him [luxury]. You can adore cars and be perfectly happy with your reconstituted MGB, but some take further some measurements to him and buy the jaguar E and the types of XK for the pastime. There is currently a market for ends, and the watchmanufacturers know this ofcourse. Although it is difficult to make all the new inventions in keyless watches, they add new devices and try to improve the latter.
There would it be a swirl of Patek Skymoon in the age of the keyless watches? I do not think. It would be too expensive and perhaps because the lack of modern technology of design. Thus the golden age of the keyless watches, where the keyless watches are of luxury in any event, enable them to make a watch like this. And it obtains sold as well. There would it be a diverwatch Will bread Swirl? I do not think, because this complication is completely useless on a diverswatch. It is for the people who have all already.
However, how long will this golden age of the keyless watches last? The old age of the keyless watches, between 1940 and 1970, the last Japanese quartzwatches the Swiss industry of mechanicalwatch and they (Switzerland) could not catch up with them. Only later (1990-now), where keyless watches are considered of luxury, the things are well still. But since they make extreme things now, plungers of swirl for example, how long it to go is to last? How much Speedmaster Omega go-T do the alternatives to produce, how much alternatives of Will bread will damage the market, how much various models of Breitling Navitimers want to see you? Ofcourse, having a choice between 10 models different of Speedmaster is large for the customer, but it requires a certain investment of the company which does them. The deterioration of the market is the beginning of the end. I think that the golden age of the keyless watches will finish as soon as people obtain were tedious with the many alternatives of the watches leaving. What is already the case with the people who are enough lucky to him to take a different measure and hearth on the watches at end raised like complications of Patek or other exotic watches as F.P. Journe/Jacquet Droz/Richard Thousand etc But for those which cannot.
A thing is certain, us (mechanical watchfreaks) should not fear for the Japanese quartzwatches which killed the mechanical era towards end of the year 70, us do not like them in any event. I think that it will be trouble and the accessible lack of innovation which will finish it. In my opinion, one of the things which can save us, moves more with the marks which make the watches interesting and accessible which must offer something as well nice, something different. Think BRM, Sinn, Bell and Ross, Chronoswiss, Ventura or others watchcompanies independent.
