This Month

The Pulsar Project
by Dennis L. Klein

 In 1966 John M. Bergey and Richard S. Walton, two young engineers at America’s Hamilton Watch Co., discussed incorporating new technology in to a wristwatch. Technology from military timing device projects that they were working on in the Technology Division at Hamilton. Ironically, in 1967 at the request of Hollywood, they would work together on a one-of-a-kind digital desk clock for the movie
2001: A Space Odyssey

A pair of new Fossils

Over on our forum a few people were talking about the new Fossil OLED(organic LED) display watches.  I had already ordered these, so I'm giving our readers two for the price of one!  "Modern of the Month"

Ragen Time Case
This won't explain how to get an old Time Case going, it won't even show you a working one.  It will show you the interesting details of the inside and outside of the ultra rare Ragen Time Case...in case you were wondering. "Vintage of the Month"

           

Good Times!
This month I did something I have never done before - I went and spent face-to-face time with a fellow collector.  It was about an hour's drive, I thought I would visit for 2-3 hours. Turned out to be more like 8+!!! From the Editor.
 

Trouble Back On The Farm...
The farmer stood there, shifting from one foot to the other mumbling to himself.
"Is there anything I can do fer ya?" the boy asked politely. "I know where all the tools are, if you want to borry one. Or maybe I could take a message fer dad."
"Well, said the farmer uncomfortably, "I really wanted to talk to yer dad. It's about your brother Howard getting my daughter, Pearly Mae, pregnant."

The boy considered for a moment. "You would have to talk to Pa about that,"
he finally conceded.
.....Humor!!  Watch Out!
