Railroad Grade Pocket Watches

It's worth pointing out that basically every quartz watch ever is vastly more accurate than any watch that was ever certified as railroad grade.

Ad for some watch company.<p>Wikipedia article.[1]<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Railroad_chronometer" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Railroad_chronometer</a>

&gt;Some of the highest end railroad watches featured what was referred to as an up-down wind indicator. This is called a power reserve indicator on modern watches, and it visually communicates how much wind remains in the watch on a sub-dial at 12 O’clock.<p>I now want this as a battery life indicator on a smart watch.

I followed the links and found out that the cheapest option is over $3.5K (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vorticwatches.com&#x2F;products&#x2F;railroad-edition-watch-builder" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vorticwatches.com&#x2F;products&#x2F;railroad-edition-watch-bu...</a>)<p>I did not buy this watch, and yet, considered it as a gift to a friend who is a watchs mini collector.<p>The watch has a &quot;story&quot;, and when one get a compliment, he can tell the story, and that is perhaps the reason we buy some of our goods, for the story behind the product, for the &quot;making of&quot;, never the less as for hte product itself.<p>Besides, everything assosicated wit htrains and taildrods turns on the imagination nostalgy by many.
