It has a purely mechanical movement consisting of only 51 parts, including a novel self-winding mechanism with a transparent oscillating weight. So far, it is the only mechanical movement manufactured entirely on a fully automated assembly line.
Others could argue that it has to be a mechanical watch with a handmade movement. Then there are those who define luxury based on legendary brands such as Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Breitling.
