The forward march of technology has seen many mechanical and analogue products evolving into electronic or digital ones. Copper wires carrying electrical signals became fibre optic cables beaming light as a series of ones and zeroes. Film cameras gave way to digital imaging sensors. The hairspring and balance wheel was superseded by the quartz-based timekeeping chip. despite these changes, older forms of these technologies still remain, whether because of an associated ideal or romance, as in the case of mechanical watches, or because digital technology just cannot replicate the output of an analogue device, like cross processed images from a film camera.
