Reasons for Replica Watch Collections

It seems endless for people to collect things, and takes in objects ranging from the worthless to the priceless. It is a human feature to want to accumulate certain items, but as far as why people collect watches, there are various reasons. We are currently in a golden age of fake watch collecting, with prices only going up for vintage pieces as more and more people are discovering a love of horology. 
However, what is it about watches in particular that so appeals and makes them so collectible? Since every one of us is never more than arm’s length away from a cell phone, which all have clocks far more accurate than any mechanical caliber can ever hope to be, no one actually needs a cheap replica watch, let alone a great horde of them.
We’ll take a general view of just what it is that motivates us to amass our ever-growing collections.
With the huge variety in style, value, and heritage, the types of watches someone chooses to collect and wear are the most obvious outward indicators of their personality. Nothing says more about a person’s features than what they put on their wrist.
It is one of the reasons that a large number of collectors tend to be men. For women, a watch is mostly just one more piece of jewelry; part of an ensemble that together speaks volumes. The watch is most likely to be his only piece for males, and it has an effect completely disproportionate to its size.
The other characteristic about these replica watches that seems to appeal to more to men than women is the nature of the technology itself. Not very far below the surface of every grown man is the little boy fascinated by gears and springs and the perfect blending of form and function. Mechanical calibers at their finest are miniature works of art, with a sort of micro-engineering prowess that has been constantly honed and refined over centuries. 
We are living in an age of unprecedented technological progress, with new things emerging almost every day. But despite that, or possibly because of it, we are becoming more fascinated by the antiquated methods of traditional watch-making. While we can all appreciate what a smart watch is able to do, all we can be aware of is the end result. With a mechanical movement, we are able to actually notice the hundreds of components working together and marvel at the dedication and level of craftsmanship that has gone into its creation. It is primal, involving, and completely satisfying for the one who likes to collect watches.
