The 1974 Omega 'Marine
Chronometer' Wristwatch. |

The Cray-3 Supercomputer
Module. |

Here are a couple of interesting objects that have nothing at all to do with television equipment.
The Watch is part of my small collection of 'Watches of the Revolution', and is arguably the most
accurate watch ever made. I had intended to do a separate site about this piece, but for the time being thought it simpler just to include it here. Watch 'enthusiasts' beware though, as while I think this Omega is a fabulous thing, I have tried to be as accurate and un-biased as possible about the history of the piece and of the watch trade in general. Therefore this is no efusive article as might be found in glossy watch magazines... (Hopefully it's much more informative)
The Cray module is without doubt simply The Ninth Wonder of the World (to see why click on the
