I am going to post series of short pieces about metallurgy. Title is Metallurgy 2.12. Why? It sounds about right and I am going to explain why a bit later.
Bethlehem steel, glorious birthplace of every single gun of US battleships become amusement park with casino.

 Move seems like deed by Bender from Futurama (referring to second episode in season 1) but it hardly joyful view for me. Metallurgy, it’s place in the today’s world and how people live with such occupation changed in years past and it will in years to come.
Before I start talking about Metallurgy 2.12 I want to ask simple question. Who is metallurgist and what this professional does? Think about it. Let’s compare notes!

Timex Atlantis 1984 vs 2010. Old school

There are many wisdom sentences. One of them about history repeating itself. I recently got lucky to find Timex Atlantis 100 made in 1985. I happened to have more current 2010 Timex Expedition Atlantis. It was tempting to compare these watches. Where to start?  In 1984 digital watches were THE thing among anyone who can’t afford something snooty. Casio, Seiko, Citizen were producing amazing watches. Timex at the time had less choices to offer. It was not time for Ironman yet. As I write it I picture all that excitement of new electronic things coming out almost every day. We relived it in a way with computers, later with phones and who knows what will be next. Constant race to invent, excite and make money. There are some stories about how it came to be, yet looking at the watch I can see choices, cuts and decisions.  Atlantis was made to be high profile entry into digital watch market. Market which already filled with other watches, Timex included. What should be done

I wanted to start writing watch reviews long time ago. It is a very busy world, but writing is like exercising for imagination, thinking and self expression. Therefore it really healthy! I love watches and it would be natural to write about them. Though I never found personal angle. It will be dull to post some pictures and bunch of data from manufacturer site and describe how it looks and in a little how it operates. This will be usual car review type of writing I really want to avoid. I did not found my writing yet. So I am going out and will be looking for inspiration, experience and knack to type something I would be glad I did. What is Casio F-105. In essence it is Casio F-91 with blue illumination. This is not an answer I will be happy with. I do respect this watch more than many others I had, have and will have in the future. It is very honest. It not talkative and drops a word only, when it has something meaningful to say. It delicately sits on your wrist , doing i

In 1990 radio controlled watch was one of the show cases of science achievements. If you had it on your wrist it screamed “The future!”. Today it can be found in everyday price bracket and perception niche. Apart from Casio you have no watch to choose from. Casio however gives you some options. It is a time to meet Casio WVQ-140A , Casio's entry into world of radio controlled watches.I wanted to write about it because it is honest good watch with specialty skills. It good design, good balance between looks and function. Also it looks on the stock photos as it is in real life. One of the first radio controlled watches was this Junghans Mega 1 digital. It provided essentials and had some design twist to look bit different than your regular Casio or Timex. so people knew you wearing something different.  Later on it was followed by this one. It looks more conventional and contemporary with nothing to tell about it radio controlled nature. In a way it same 3 button
