Dagens klokke

Speedy mandag her ;)


Artig liten anekdote/digresjon her, satte igang kronografen nøyaktig kl 00:00 i går/natt og stoppet den nøyaktig kl 06:00 når vekkerklokken ringte (og ja, klokkenen var synkronisert) og kronografen viste eksakt 6 timer på sekundet, hvilket kanskje ikke er veldig overraskende, men like fullt imponerende at noe mekaninsk kan holde tiden så nøyaktig. Me like;)

Apollo 13 returns to earth: 2 burns were computed from earth and innitiated from Apollo 13.
Timed with the Speedmaster Pro.

"One of the big questions was, "How to get back safely to Earth?" The LM navigation system wasn't designed to help us in this situation. Before the explosion, at 30 hours and 40 minutes, Apollo 13 had made the normal midcourse correction, which would take it out of a free-return-to-Earth trajectory and put it on a lunar landing course. Now the task was to get back on a free-return course. The ground computed a 35-second burn and fired it 5 hours after the explosion. As they approached the Moon, another burn was computed; this time a long 5-minute burn to speed up the return home. It took place 2 hours after rounding the far side of the Moon,"

"SevenFriday the Orient way" (pun indeed intended) ;)
Så absolutt:p I følge selgeren i Orientbutikken har dem produsert denne i over 10år for det japanske markedet under Orient Three Star. Dem har nå begynt å produsere en litt "større" utgave, Masquerade, rettet mot resten av verden.
Uansett en artig LITEN sak som er vel verdt de drøye 300kronene den kostet:)
