And I can appreciate that ...

... though you realize that the biggest reason mechanical watches won't die is because in cities where owning a car isn't practical, expensive watches are status symbols equivalent to what car one might own?

OK, OK ... back on topic ...
Watches exist for many reasons. I was given a few by my dad and I'll likely pass them and a few of my current ones on to my son.

And even in the city, you can still buy a Pagani shell and mount it in your bedroom. Cars are cooler than watches.
