    Omega Speedmaster - A TIME CAPSULE WORLD MOOK MONO Special Edition Edited & Written by Kesaharu Imai Published by WORLD PHOTO PRESS A TIME CAPSULE—Omega Speedr~raster Front Cover: A TIME CAPSULE—Omega Speedmaster The story of the first watch in outer space. Edited & written by Kesaharu Imai. P2 As we make the transition into the twenty-first century, the Omega Speedmaster, small enough to fit in the palm of the hand, is in itself a time capsule of the twentieth century. P3 Foreword, The setting sun on a late autumn afternoon set scene for a visit from Mr Imai when he came to my office at the Van Nuys airport located in a suburb of Los Angeles. The creaking of the ffont stair5, as he entered the building, was reminicient of the erie awakening cry of a space craft preparing for laumch. I began my first Space Flight aboard Mercury-Atlas 9 thirty-three years ago! In looking back to those days, Mr Imai and I talked enthusiastically about the Omega Speedmaster, which served as a reliable personal tool throughout my mission duration completing 22 5 orbits around the earth! An impression of the universe was beyond my expectation and imagination. As a glimpse of limitdessness followed by an awe-inspiring view of the eatth are indeed indescribable. Being overwhelmed by an unprecedented experience I was not myself for some time till I noted the positive movement of ht e second hand on the Speedmaster, which in fact recorded such data as elapsed flight time and fuel consumption. "The development of science and technology today is undoubtedly the result of human wisdom which I believe stemmed from the passionate but romantic pursuit of scientists and engineers, said Me Imai.

THE ASSERTION OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER JAPANESE CORPORATIONS BY NEW YORK COURTS Peter Nadler & Ryan P. Parham INTRODUCTION Shortly after the end of the Second World War, Japanese business and industry began a period of reconstruction and ex- pansion that has produced one of the most powerful national economies in the world.1 Japanese multinational corporations have become some of the world's most influential and diverse corporations and are rivaled in size only by the large American conglomerates, which provided, in part, a pattern upon which the post-war Japanese could build.2 As corporations have in- creasingly expanded the manufacturing and marketing of their products beyond national perimeters, courts have created the means by which these corporations can be rendered amenable to suit in the states where the corporations conduct their activi- ties.3 Thus, the evolution of the rules of personal jurisdiction in ' At the conclusion of the Korean war, American policy focused on the development of a strong, economically sound ally in the Pacific, setting the stage for Japan's spectacu- lar growth of 10% per year from 1956 until the early 1970's.

    Brand Globalization and the Comeback of the Swiss Watch Industry on the World Market, 1980-2010 Pierre-Yves Donzé, Kyoto University WORK IN PROGRESS, DON’T QUOTE WITHOUT PERMISSION Introduction Brand management is a key component of modern enterprises. 1 For firms, the main function of brands is to “differentiate them from competition”. 2 According to Teresa da Silva Lopes and Paul Duguid, brands have a positive effect for both consumers and producers.
