In these days of “fast” and “convenient” I decided to commence a work of
“painstaking” and “craftsmanship”, making my own wristwatch. I have had the
idea for a certain arrangement of the watch dial, as on the image at the
right, for a while now. My investigations into available movements showed
that no production movement would give me this layout. After a long period
of indecision and wondering what I was really getting myself into I decided
to make my own movement, followed by the case and dial.
Via The Mess That Greenspan Made, Making a Watch by
Hand
I also have a few readers that might be interested in making a wrist watch
by hand. I personally would have gone with a pocket watch, but that's me.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
