GREAT POST OP and thx for starting it.
For me, mechanical timepieces are loved due to not only the celebration in mechanical mathematics, there are aesthetic and other arts / crafts. Then add the experience while wearing it... or dad's watch... or the one I lent for many years to my brother who passed. For me, in some ways it is quantifiable, in other ways it is the unseen that matters most.
Hope that all makes sense.
Or I'm just another timepiece crazy. Hmmm... :)
