		<description><![CDATA[So just how accurate should a vintage mechanical watch be?
The short answer: it depends.
The accuracy of a vintage watch is at the ultimately at mercy of its original quality and construction, and accuracy perhaps owes even more so to the quality of its upkeep over the years.
A high-quality, chronometer-grade watch that was carefully maintained and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As much as I gripe about modern makers flogging supposed military connections of their watches that frequently have little if any basis in fact, it&#8217;s easy to forget that the phenomenon is not exclusive to the modern era.
Heck, for that matter the entire evolution from pocket to wrist watches was borne out of soldiers&#8217; preference [...]]]></description>
