Girard-Perregaux - extreme watch engineering
The problem with a $3 watch is that when the band breaks and it falls down
into your controls, people do not pay attention when you tell them that was
the reason you lost control of the aircraft.
But, if it is a $10,000 watch that comes off your wrist as you are doing
aerobatics, and jams the controls, people listen over and over and tell
their friends, and you become a cult hero.
And, if you have the carcas, showing how much force you used to try to
regain contrl, all the better.
