Hi CC, this is great...

Yes, quartz watches are more practical...my wife won't wear mechanical and seriously I don't trust my young kids with mechanical watches quite yet.

That is a beautiful gift you have hidden for your daughter, she will love it.

I've got the same idea in mind when my daughters get older.

HAGWE,

Mike

Quartz watches belong to history

Although they're not commonly appreciated, Quartz watches unquestionably belong to history

here are my picks

Heuer Chronosplit LCD/LED display - 1975

Bio tech design case



many ambassadors, Gilles Villeneuve being the most famous



a very futuristic chronograph



Rolex Oysterquartz 17000

Beautiful simplicity and quality of dial and hands nestled in a successful 70s case, an unusual Rolex





Seiko 7A28 so called "Alien"

Based on a whooping caliber used many years by the British army and offering both split second and "foudroyante" complications


Credit : Steve G

redesigned in the early 80s by Giugaro





the silver one was the Sigourney Weaver watch in the Alien movie



a casual and very different chronograph



I could really not miss



HAGWE !
