On The Media's TLDR Explains Swatch Internet Time
Back in 1998, Swatch tried no small task: to fundamentally change how we track time around the world. The idea was called ".beat time" and "internet time," and was supposed to simplify communicating across the world in the age of the internet by doing away with timezones and small units like seconds, instead dividing the day into 1000 event units. The experiment has been largely forgotten, but NPR's blog and podcast TLDR decided to take a closer look into why .beat time was born in the first place and why we're not all wearing .beat watches today. This is definitely worth a read and a listen.The basics are pretty straightforward: with internet time, the only units are "beats" and there are 1000 even beats in one day. This makes each beat a little shorter than a minute and a half (1 minute 26.4 seconds to be precise). They record time after midnight, so the @950 time shown on the watch above is equivalent to exactly 10:48pm at the Swatch headquarter

Concrete Pool Deck 1 Rolex Air King 0
Dropped my AK on the concrete pool deck. I actually didn¡¯t even notice it my 9 year old son leaped into action and grabbed it and yelled ¡°Dad you dropped your Rolex!¡± across the whole pool. I guess it¡¯s officially mine now Lol

this is why
I think like most here, we expect that when we purchase a ¡°high-end¡± Swiss watch that these things should be perfect. Of course nothing is ever perfect and considering that they are mass produced, as in the case of a Rolex, then we know that perfection is impossible. Same thing applies to handmade watches. Which got me thinking, has anyone here dealt with a lemon Rolex? A Rolex that was ¡°defective¡± or imperfect from the getgo after being purchased brand new? Would love to hear your story... what was wrong and how things were resolved if they did.
