HH Magazine de la Haute Horlogerie - 1rst Oct 2010Katja SchaerHave you ever puzzled how human beings will reside in 10,000 years' time? What they'll say about us? What name tomorrow's citizens will give the era we even now call "contemporary"? And if you can leave them a message, notify them about 1 small part of your century, what would that be? Danny Hillis has his response: time measurement. This American inventor and laptop scientist is performing with a one-hundred-century timepiece; an enormous mechanical clock that will go on giving time to the future ten thousand a long time.

The Long Now Basis
This amazing challenge, often called the 10,000 12 months Clock, originated from the uncomplicated observation: that we now have dropped the ability to job ourselves in to the upcoming. In an essay on long-term imagining, posted from the yrs before the transform of millennium, Danny Hillis wrote: "When I had been a child, folks used to look at what would come about with the calendar year 2000. For your future thirty several years they kept talking about what would happen from the yr 2000, and now no one mentions a upcoming day at all. The long run has long been shrinking by a person yr for every yr for my overall daily life. ". . .

First launched in 1956, Charge d'Affaires returns interpreted in a manner that is more contemporary than ever. This alarm replica watch will delight devotees of mechanics as well as devotees of the heritage from the past. Charge d'Affaires. Corum Corum does indeed have an extraordinary rich heritage. Since its founding in 1955, the brand has introduced some of the most legendary models in watchmaking history. In 2010, it already gave two emblematic creations a new lease on life: the Golden Tube and the Chinese Hat. The following year, in much the same spirit, it presented a re-edition of the Grand Precis. Now comes the turn of the Charge d'Affaires model that is the pride of the Vintage collection. Launched in 1956 and featured in the very first Corum catalog, this alarm replica watch has been re-issued in a virtually identical form, to the delight of all those who revel in aesthetic codes directly inherited from the past. Endowed with a 46-hour power reserve, this Charge d'Affaires replica watch is equipped with an entirely exceptional movement: the very same caliber that once beat at the heart of the original model in 1956. This historical movement has been entirely restored using vintage tools and techniques, while meeting current standards of quality and finishing. This mechanical hand-wound Caliber CO 286 is fitted with two barrels, each with its own winding crown: one to control the hands, and the other the alarm. This arrangement makes it possible, alongside the central hour, minute and seconds hands, to power an alarm sounding for over 12 seconds on a particularly clear note. This mechanical gem is visible through the case-back and reveals the sound bridge engraved with the inscription "1956 - Charge d'Affaires - 2012". Corum The elegantly understated face of this timepiece pays tribute to the aesthetic perfection of historical replica watches . The silver-toned dial is punctuated by applied hour-markers, while the minute track is delicately transferred, as is the "Charge d'Affaires" legend. These indications are swept over by dauphine hour and minute hands, and a baton-type seconds hand, while the alarm pointer is easily recognizable thanks to its arrow-shaped red tip. The only slight change from the original model lies in the slightly larger 38 mm-diameter case. The Charge d'Affaires is issued in a 200-piece limited and numbered edition: 150 in 5N 18K gold fitted with a black alligator leather strap with pin buckle; and 50 in 18K white gold with an identical strap. This alarm replica watch is water-resistant to 30 meters.
