The Science Channel's How it's Made program, which shows how everyday things are created, recently took a horological bent, with an engaging and educational look at how a watch (in this case a Panerai) is made. Even for those of us who are Panerai owners it was still really interesting, as I had never seen footage of many of these processes.
Take a look. It's fascinating, regardless of whether you're a watch person or not, to see each step and to find out how much of this particular creation is automated and how much is done by hand.

Now tell me how you can watch this and NOT immediately want to go out and buy a mechanical watch?
