Philippe Dufour says that people come to him because he creates watches that cannot be found elsewhere. "I'm obliged to innovate" he says pragmatically. But do not feel sorry for him. The challenge to create the world's first double escapement wristwatch was seized gladly. The aim of the double escapement is to compensate for errors in the rate of the watch, produced by the effect of gravity on the regulating organs. In this sense, it challenges the existing champion, the tourbillon device, invented by Breguet in 1801. Philippe Dufour's double escapement has proved already to be effective. Compared with the tourbillon, it possesses the additional quality of retaining all its efficiency when reduced to the dimensions of a wristwatch. The key to the concept is a complex differential system, positioned, with the two escapement mechanisms, on the fourth wheel. The two balance wheels operate completely independently of each other. The differential system averages out the differences between them, and thus reduces the potential error in rate by half. The differential system alone, without the regulating organs, has twenty-one parts, twice as many as the tourbillon. And yet the entire assembly is only 30 mm in diameter, and 4 mm high. It fits neatly into a 34 mm watch. How may the Duality be recognised? This master of complications says that, aesthetically speaking, he likes simplicity. For the Duality this means a smooth, finely polished case in yellow gold, rose gold, white gold or platinum. A silvered dial carries Dauphine-style hands pointing to raised hour markers and Arabic numerals. A distinctive feature of the dial is the unusual placing of the small seconds-hand at half-past seven, reflecting the layout of the movement. The strap is in top quality, hand stitched crocodile leather.

The Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants (AHCI) is an association with the mission to perpetuate the art of independent watch and clock-making. The AHCI is instrumental in helping a new generation of independent watchmakers develop their own brands. The first AHCI exhibition took place at Le Locle in 1985, and was followed by Baselworld in 1987. 30 years later, the AHCI unites 36 idealists from all over the world. To perpetuate independent watch and clock-making by: Promoting the unique character of handmade timepieces Attracting the world’s most creative independent watchmakers Supporting young watchmakers build independent businesses via the Young Talents Competition. AHCI members create art by following the processes of traditional watchmaking, from rough sketches through to the exquisite finished timepieces.

It seems like there's a million calendar and clock widgets out there, and when you look past the eye-candy, they all have one thing in common: they're tedious at best. At worst, counter-intuitive. Sure, a picker that uses sliders or spinners, or looks like an analog clock face might be cute, but did you ever notice how long it takes to position one to the correct hour and minute? Or how about choosing a month that's more than a season away? Worse yet, entering your birth year on a datepicker that forces you to click... backwards... repeatedly... one... year... at... a... time? Does your favorite "pretty" picker even work if your user has a keyboard, but not a mouse? Does it scale larger if the user increases the text size on your page? If not, ask your legal department how they'd feel about an accessibility lawsuit!

TimeLeft is a big improvement on the Windows system clock, but it's more than that; it includes a countdown, stopwatch, alarm clock, timer, and time synchronizer. It comes in several versions, including a Free edition that leaves out some features and limits users to one of each feature at a time, and a Deluxe version that has lifetime support and upgrades and unlimited features. But the Deluxe version is free to try for 30 days, which is plenty of time to see if this timekeeper is a keeper. We tried TimeLeft Deluxe in both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. We think anyone who tries TimeLeft and uses it every day (or nearly so) will value the Deluxe version's advantages.

I was searching for device to generate video clock signals recently when I stumbled onto this circuit from David L. Jones of Tronnort Technology in Sydney Australia.David has a very impressive set of designs available at http://www.ozemail.com.au/~dljones/projects.htm.
This circuit allows you to superimpose a title and/or the time and sate on an incoming video signal - very useful when editing video tapes. It's also a good introduction to video signals and processing. The text that follows is from David's article
