Comment on Mechanical Watch (2022)

I went to an Academy store a couple of years ago and on a whim walked up to the watch counter and asked if they had any mechanical watches. The girl behind the counter just tilted her head. So I clarified, a mechanical watch, you know, one you wind up. And she just shook her head again. I then explained to her that it was a watch that you wind up and doesn’t need batteries. She then looked shocked and exclaimed “Wow, that’s so cool. Someone should invent that…” I just stood there in a similar amount of amazement. I then told her that they did, hundreds of years ago. She then said, no we don’t have anything like that. Which I figured was the case from the start.
