Museum of Time - Besancon, France
Hi guysI popped into this excellent museum last weekend on the route to my parents in Lausanne. Besancon is in Franche Comte in the east of France, just next to Switzerland. The museum has a large number of historical pieces including a magnificent Leroy pocket watch from 1900. It is claimed to be the most complex watch of its kind for the era...with no less than 24 complications. The watch took 7 years to make. Leroy was a Parisian watchmaker with workshops in Besancon. It was ordered by a Portuguese client, Monteiro de Cavalho.There was a huge number of items on show. I think that these shows are invaluable to collectors as there are pieces of information you do not find anywhere else. Some of the examples of early pocket watches I have already seen in my searches of watches for sale, but the sellers do not realise what they have - luckily you could take photos here without flash :)One other observation was how the more things change the more they stay the same.

McKINLEY Jr.SAN BLAS, Mexico, Aug. 25 ¡ª Three fishermen who survived months adrift at sea in a 29-foot boat returned home on Friday to Mexico, where some greeted them as folk heroes, some hailed them as a testament to the power of faith and others cast a skeptical eye on their epic story of seamanship and survival.The three thin but healthy-looking men stepped off a plane from Los Angeles in Mexico City on Friday morning and spoke to reporters before taking flights to their hometowns in three coastal states. They faced a barrage of questions about the veracity of their story and, when asked, said they would take a lie-detector test to prove it.The three surviving men sang ballads, danced, pretended to play guitar and read aloud to each other from the Bible as they drifted for months, they said. Little things took on tremendous importance. They kept track of time with Mr. Rend¨®n¡¯s wristwatch. ¡°This
