When I was young ,watch manufacturers made a big deal over watches,especially "dress watches", being thin. Hard to get all those pieces in an "appropriately" thin watch. Then accurate electronic watches made it pretty easy. Nothing to do but
shift the appeal to big manly watches, sometimes on the shopping channels you can catch them on sale . And like sisters
in a fairy tale "each is more beautiful than the one before". AT LAST! They have figured out how to make an expensive
watch almost as big as an alarm clock!
