I know a quote for the Quartz watches as marketing gimmicks:
" Quartz watches help to people to save time cos it does not need winding or oiling. Only need to change battery every 2-10 years, depends on respective models. The parts(metals) used in automatic and mechanical watches are classified as hazardous waste and on average, every 2 US citizens own one automatic or mechanical watche. Hundreds of millions of these machanical watches are sent yearly all over the world to service and change parts(metals), and only a fraction of these find their way into organized hazardous waste deposits, the rest were thown into bins and dumps where those places were meant for plastic and papers. "
Well????
