  • The Rebirth of Swiss Watch Brand Angelus
    The rebirth of Swiss watch brand Angelus After lying dormant for more than 30 years, Angelus has now been revived by Manufacture La Joux-Perret, which has spent four years developing the next generation of visionary timepieces. The Angelus’ manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds is just a stone’s throw from where the Stolz brothers established their original manufacture. Dating back nearly 125 years, Angelus has been one of the most influential horological manufactures of the last century. Connoisseurs of high-end watchmaking have universally hailed Angelus' pioneering, in-house developed movements and timepieces, which continue to be coveted by collectors all over the world. Angelus was founded in 1891 by the brothers Albert and Gustav Stolz with the establishment of the Angelus watchmaking manufacture in Le Locle, Switzerland. Chronodato 1942 Angelus launches the world's first series chronograph with calendar. Initially christened the Chronodate, then Chronodato from 1943 onwards. © ANGELUS SA Over the past century, Angelus forged a fine reputation for creating exceptional chronograph and multi-complication wristwatches, multi-display travel clocks with long power reserves, and alarm watches. The brand marked several firsts along the way, including the Chronodato (1942), which was the first series wristwatch chronograph with calendar. The Chrono-Datoluxe (1948) featured the very first big date in a chronograph wristwatch; it was also the first series chronograph wristwatch with a digital calendar – years before such a display became a standard in watchmaking. The Datalarm (1956) was the first wristwatch ever featuring both alarm and date function, while the cult timepiece the Tinkler (1958) was both the first automatic repeater wristwatch and also the first fully waterproof repeater wristwatch.

    Pueblo Band and Orchestra Welcome to the instrumental music program at Pueblo! The goal of the instrumental program is to teach students to play an instrument and to work together in a positive and engaging atmosphere where EVERY student can learn. Class time will maximize “engaged” learning time and concepts will be taught through experience and in many modes in order to meet the varying learning styles of the students. Students will also be given opportunities to demonstrate obtained knowledge and to develop their abilities. Jane Barbe Director of Instrumental Education 480-783-2451 [email protected] Confucius Band and Orchestra should be a fun learning experience! We participate in any engaging activities, review games, field trips, and concerts throughout the year which are made possible by students regarding the following behavioral expectations. This ensures that the students who are behaving do not miss out on these activities due to the poor choices of others. Students will: Positively Participate Display respectful behavior towards the teacher, fellow students, and equipment. Support the group by practicing at home! Support the group by having ALL of their materials each day for class! (Including spare reeds for the woodwinds.) Missing any one of their materials will result in a 0 for that class period. Clean and maintain their instruments so that they are able to play them in class. Flutes, clarinets, oboes, bassoons, and saxophones will swab out their instruments after each playing and be very careful to not drop them or bend their keys. Clarinets, Saxophones, Oboes, and Bassoons will have 3 working reeds each class so that they can participate.

  • “Rare Handcrafts 2021” Exhibition
    Press Release Patek Philippe, Geneva June 2021 At its Geneva Salons, Patek Philippe presents the richest “Rare Handcrafts” collection ever to be on display there At its historic headquarters on Rue du Rhône, from June 16 to 26, 2021, the manufacture is showcasing an extensive selection of over 75 pocket watches, wristwatches, dome clocks, and table clocks from its latest rare handcrafts collection. It is a rich range of one-of-a-kind and limited-edition pieces that pay tribute to challenging manifestations of craftsmanship such as manual engraving, grand feu cloisonné enamel, miniature painting on enamel, guilloching, gemsetting, and wood micromarquetry. On this occasion, Patek Philippe is also presenting six new watches from the current collection that are endowed with especially elaborate decorations. Since the early days of mechanical watchmaking, artisans have always invested considerable care in decorating their clocks and watches. Timepieces were mainly beautiful, artistically finished treasures before they advanced to become reliable precision instruments. In Geneva, the individual decorative techniques found fertile ground in the famous “Fabrique” where all watchmaking-related occupations were assembled. Since 1839, as an heir of the grand Genevan tradition, Patek Philippe systematically commissioned the most talented artists to ennoble its creations. From 1970 to 1980, when the demand for such decoratively enhanced watches slumped and several ancestral techniques were on the brink of extinction, the manufacture mobilized its resources to preserve and breathe new life into all of its precious know-how and in particular miniature painting on enamel. Grand passion To this very day, Patek Philippe is dedicated to safeguarding and handing down all these competencies, but also to further evolving them in close collaboration with the artists who set their sights on new horizons.

No one could imagine then what would follow. As a general practitioner working at a busy Brisbane surgery, I really did not think that it would affect us that much. How wrong I was. Within months, the World Health Organisation had named the virus COVID 19 and a pandemic was declared. Life as we knew it was changed, perhaps forever. I was fortunate to be part of a practice that had put protocols in place should the worst happen, but even so, I felt overwhelmed by the impact on the patients that I was in contact with daily. They poured their hearts out with stories of resilience, heartache and lives changed irrevocably. I contacted my friend Jane, an experienced editor and writer, about my idea to collect these tales into an anthology. In less than five minutes, she responded enthusiastically and became its senior editor, bringing her years of experience and sharp eye to detail to the anthology. Together, we spent many weekends over pots of tea and Jane’s warm scones reading the overwhelming number of stories and poems that the public entrusted to us. Our greatest regret was that we couldn’t accommodate every piece we received.

    JAEGER-LECOULTRE PRACTICES THE ART OF PRECISION WITH THE NEW MASTER GRANDE TRADITION GYROTOURBILLON WESTMINSTER PERPÉTUEL Jaeger-LeCoultre was founded in 1833 in the Vallée de Joux, the cradle of complicated Swiss watchmaking. Since then, it has relentlessly pursued innovation in aid of precision timekeeping. One of the first inventions of founder Antoine LeCoultre was the millionometer, the first instrument able to measure the micron. Ambitious and industry-defining innovation, combined with haut-de-gamme finishing and artistry, are honoured traditions at Jaeger-LeCoultre, which has created more than 1,200 watch calibres to date, counts 180 different watchmaking and watch-related skills as part of its in-house expertise, has over 400 registered patents and has revived age-old decorative techniques such as guillochage and grand feu enamelling in its in- house Métiers Rares atelier.
