Nicely EMP proof though 
While the mechanical market is a fraction the size of the quartz market, it’s still a sizable customer base worldwide. While I would never spend three or four grand on a watch, I did invest in an Oris dive watch I picked up for about a thousand USD. It’s movement isn’t as accurate as Omega’s, but it will still be ticking a hundred years from now as long as I spend a hundred bucks every ten years or so for a cleaning, and I’m in the process (practicing on a cheap second-hand Seiko automatic I picked up) of learning to save myself even that expense by doing it myself. I have seven years to learn, so I’m not too worried.
There’s some intrinsic appeal to a machine that keeps the time powered by the motion of your own body. And being able to see the movement through the Oris’s sapphire back-plate is just mesmerizing. The only other watch I own is a 10 year-old solar-powered Casio Rangeman digital that’s freaking amazing. But while the Casio will live a long long time for a watch I bought at 60 bucks before the rechargeable battery finally gives up the ghost, my automatic could conceivably live forever if I learn to care for it properly.
