Hello all.  A post earlier get me thinking about music/ bands.  What are you into? I  have a very eclectic taste ranging from thrash metal to classical, both in small doses though and most things in-between.  If I  had to listen to only two groups on pain of death, simple.  You've probably never heard of them, both Dutch by coincidence, Epica and Within Temptation . You'll probably think I'm weirder than ever now, hehe.

The wife and I are annual subscribers to the local symphony, so classical is definitely appreciated. Favorite composer would be Edvard Grieg. We also have a local Jazz festival every year. I'm a big Chuck Mangione fan and would also include Pat Metheny in my top 2 jazz performers. There was an English band in the '70s called Renaissance that I still enjoy. Heck, I'll even suffer the teenage angst of Taylor Swift from time to time. 😉

My desert island song is Blessed Feet by the Tord Gustavsen Trio. Piano jazz. Some sort of Scandahoovian going by the name.

Always love Norah Jones. We grew up in the same time and place, went to the same university (briefly for her part). I worked in a music store in high school that I'm sure she got music from given market and location, and I'm sure our paths crossed, but she wasn't famous then and would have just been another face in the crowd.

Melody Gardot is another good one. Dave Brubeck for the odd meter. The Bad Plus. Just about anything that grooves on odd meter and a bit of dissonance. If it doesn't have something to challenge, it's just kinda boring.

      Blew it with a coil

      [Myota2034] Custom simple quartz watch — PricewaterhouseCoopers On a very very different note, here is a watch from approximately 2000 when I was a Partner with PwC, Management Consulting. It was a simple “marketing watch” with a clever “vase of knowledge” that is subtly revealed on the dial as the second hand progresses. Clever for a simple watch!⌚️

      Mainspring winder question.

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      I think someone else has though. Some where here using a modified perspex sheet. I may be wrong i may be right , i think it involved fitting the arbor to a pin vice. I dont have experience of the bergeon winders, are the handles not interchangeable ?

      Dial Dots

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Never tried dial dots, i always considered them as a bit of a bodge.  You are adding something that was never intended to be there. I wonder how the adhesive reacts to any part of the movement, hot summer heat and i think things might turn sticky. Most adhesive backed stuff has a tendency to soften and slide around so it may spread, i have used a lot of so called sticks all adhesives in my industry that are just not up to the job. I suppose they get you out of a problem quickly, but how permanently might that be ? I would just explain to the owner that it may or may not work. WWs other ideas are a much more permanent solution but both have their risks . I've tried milling and dial feet replacements, hmm it was ok, ive heard of folk dimpling the face , so that needs care . And i have soldered a few times , all with good results but i am very careful and I practiced it a lot.
