H. Moser & Cie. Pioneer Collection Launched With Zero Gravity Experience
There can be little doubt that Heinrich Moser never foresaw the conditions under which the descendants of his first timepieces would be tested 187 years after the foundation of the company in 1828. Based in Neuhausen, Switzerland, H. Moser & Cie. manufactures hairsprings and regulating organs, which feature in their 8 in-house calibres as well as the wares of their partner companies. Despite having just 50 employees, the company is no stranger to world-firsts. Last month, on September 22nd, H. Moser & Cie. took part in the first Swiss parabolic flight. With the assistance and expertise of the Swiss Air Force, the performance of watch components featured in the newly released H. Moser & Cie. Pioneer collection were tested in a weightless environment. The flight was made possible by Witschi Electronics and in-flight support from engineer Johannes Mayr.In order to achieve weightlessness and experience a zero-gravity environment, a fixed wing aircraft follows an elliptic flight

a couple of questions i posted 'elsewhere' ...
that i never got an answer to!!!i finally decided to buy a calibre 565 for my vintage SM300 project. now, as many of you will know, i have virtually zero experience of mechanical watches, and literally zero experience of automatic watches.so, i'm curious to know whether it's normal for the rotor to spin when manually winding it???also, i'm intending to use a 165.024 dial. the feet are already broken so the fact they need replacing in different positions to fit the calibre 565 is a bit academic. i'm therefore wondering if omega would repair the feet for the dial to fit the calibre 565 and relume the hour markers???my plan is to cut a date window between the 4 and 5 hour markers. this will mean i can retain the '3' of the 3 hour marker where the date window would usually go.

Patek 5180T and 6000T
Hey all-I did a quick search of the forum and did not see any discussion of these 2 titanium PPs, and so I thought you all might like to have a look at them on my blog:I haven't been able to find much out about whether there are more of these (was there a 2008 edition?) so if anyone has any insights I would love to know.Cheers

My New Watch Arrived
Well the postman came and delivered something other than bills today whoopee. It is a Swiss Legend Watch that I won off the bay and I have to say I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of the watch. It is 46mm and this is the 2nd Swiss Legend in my collection which has really impressed me and I very happy with it. This weekend I plan on spending some quality time with my camera so that my future pics look a little better.

Now I can see some stars ....
And not only on cloudy night sky Nice size and balanced dial -- and I liked the 24H feature, it is quite important to preserve the mechanism when quick changes are neededJust getting used to it, yet....WOW ....thank you for viewing! best
