Vintage ornate watches always impress me, knowing a bit about how they
had to be made--but the first thing I think of when looking at a modern
one is "how much of it was done CNC?"

Somehow the thought of a computer grinding away for a few days to make
most of the parts just isn't as impressive as knowing someone spent X
months or years doing it all by hand.

I know that some are still made by hand, but I'd guess most are (mostly)
not.

I guess, CNC or not, I am still impressed. Those are some very finely
machined components. The machines to make this kind of stuff have to
be impressive all by themselves.
