After three weeks of headless chicken mode, it was nice to wear the Meistersinger for a few days. Another of my relaxed mode watches is up for wearing through the weekend.

Non CW of the Day

Post by gaf1958 »

2011 40th anniversary Apollo 15 Speedy…
At nighttime the red and blue rings are almost unnoticeable compared to the white ones.

... Loads of fun!!

I’m intrigued by this and how to tell the time with it. I was trying to workout how the LEDs count the time when binary is a base 2 number system whereas time isn’t.

Could you do a little tutorial for those of us with inquisitive minds please.

That looks fun indeed! How do you read the time?
Yes Iain, I agree! Not truly binary... The general explanation that the LEDs are either on or off is pretty lame since the same could be said about any regular digital LCD display cells (just organized in a more readable pattern).
Here is a link to a blog that explains the reading part much better than I could.https://matt.might.net/articles/gadget-binary-watch/
The photo will make sense of the particular skeletonized module/dial of my design.

The half I see is very nice, especially the round, sculpted crown. Now I have to look up the coordinates to find out who made it so that I can see the rest of it...
Did some research... Excellent history lesson behind this watch. Thank you!

Not high horology and showing the signs of age (aren't we all), but a classic Tissot design.
