Art, science, math, micromechanics... and at times stretching the 'limits' of what's humanly possible. Frankly, I'm amazed at the accuracy we've achieved mechanically when you consider the 'many' moving parts. At +/-3 sec/day, it is 99.996% accurate. C'mon, how can you not be impressed with something that accurate under the rigors of daily wear.
Accuracy aside, some timepieces are FUNctional handcrafted art in its' many forms.
