YOU DIDN'T KEEP TIME. YOU NEGOTIATED WITH IT. A watch does not tell time. It argues with it-politely, continuously, and with remarkable patience. Every mechanical watch is a small, ongoing disagreement between physics and human expectations. Springs relax. Lubricants age. Metals expand. Gravity plays favorites. Shock happens. Heat happens. Cold happens. Time itself refuses to stand still long enough to be measured cleanly. And yet-somehow-this contraption of gears, levers, oils, jewels, and optimism agrees to lose time slowly instead of suddenly. That is the miracle.
