Slow food, and watches made by hand. Artisanal products made in the "old way." The authenticity of food at many fancy restaurants is assured by their use of traditional methods that eschew technological efficiency in favor of some other value (usually, flavor).

All of this is "Luddism," but it does not carry the negative connotation of the Luddite because it is the Luddism of the rich rather than a worker's revolt. In the rich is it simply called "taste."

Interesting, that.
