  • The Mih Watch
    1ST PUBLISHED IN REVOLUTION PRESS PTE LTD ALL RIGHTS RESERVED BY REVOLUTION PRESS THE ULTIMATE the STEALTH WATCH MIH WATCH ultimate boys toyz The world’s most affordable annual calendar is designed by Ludwig Oechslin, one of the greatest minds in modern watchmaking. FLOUTING THE RULES THE MIH WATCH THIS ANNUAL CALENDAR WITH MONOPUSHER CHRONOGRAPH FUNCTIONS WAS CREATED BY THREE TRUE MASTERS OF INTRIGUE: LUDWIG OECHSLIN, PAUL GERBER AND CHRISTIAN GAFNER. STRIP AD 1ST PUBLISHED IN REVOLUTION PRESS PTE LTD ALL RIGHTS RESERVED BY REVOLUTION PRESS 165 IS IT AN ACT OF SUBVERSION, a revolutionary statement or just one incredibly cool watch? To some extent the MIH annual calendar chronograph is best described as all three. For starters, the MIH watch is in a 44mm-diameter titanium To keep the dial clean, the monopusher case that exudes a real Bauhaus-inspired design austerity chronograph’s minute counter has been transplanted to the watch back by Paul Gerber. thanks to industrial designer Christian Gafner, who’s also done projects for Swiss Army sunglasses. In terms of complication, the watch is an annual calendar, meaning it will automatically compensate for the alternating 30 and 31 day-cycle of the months. You will only have to change the date once per year at the end of February. Here is where it gets interesting... the calendar mechanism that drives this mighty complication is comprised of only NINE pieces. Moreover, the information for this mechanism has been placed in the public domain — it has not been copyrighted or patented. At a mere five thousand Swiss francs, this watch is also most likely the world’s most affordable annual calendar and is currently sold only in two places: the Embassy (the famous Swiss retailer) and the Musee International d’Horlogerie (MIH).

  • New Twenty~4 Models Is Accompanied by a Digital Communication Campaign Addressing Modern Women Sure of Their Taste, with an Affinity for Beauty and Fine Design
    Press release Patek Philippe, Geneva October 2020 A new face for the Twenty~4, the Patek Philippe ladies’ watch born to accompany every moment of the modern woman’s life The manufacture is stepping up the allure of its Twenty~4 collection exclusively for women with a fresh interpretation of the original “manchette” or cuff-style quartz model in steel of 1999. It is launching two new versions adorned with white-gold applied Arabic numerals and white-gold applied trapeze-shaped hour markers. Designed as stylish companions to every facet of an active lifestyle, these Twenty~4 references 4910/1200A- 001 with a blue sunburst dial and 4910/1200A-010 with a gray sunburst dial stand out more than ever as paragons of timeless feminine elegance. Since 1839, timepieces for women have always featured prominently in Patek Philippe’s collections – whether as the pocket watches or pendant watches of the nineteenth century or the wristwatches that first emerged in the early twentieth century. Several milestones in the manufacture’s history also relate to watches destined for women, such as the first true wristwatch made in Switzerland, created for a Hungarian countess in 1868, and the Geneva company’s very first striking wristwatch, a five-minute repeater housed in a small platinum case with an integrated chain bracelet in 1916. A modern classic In 1999, Patek Philippe strengthened its privileged links with feminine watch lovers by launching its first collection dedicated exclusively to women. The aim was to meet the demands of the independent active woman who sought a timepiece with an assertive personality able to adapt to her modern lifestyle.

  • Notes on the Calendar and the Almanac
    1914.] Notes on Calendar and Almanac. 11 NOTES ON THE CALENDAR AND THE ALMANAC. BY GEORGE EMERY LITTLEFIELD. In answering the question, why do the officers of pub- he libraries and bibliophiles so highly esteem and strive to make collections of old calendars and almanacs, it may be said that the calendar was coeval with and had a great influence upon civilization. Indeed, the slow but gradual formation of what we know as a calendar is an excellent illustration of the progress of civilization. At first it was a very crude scheme for recording the passing of time, deduced from irregular observations of the rising and setting of a few fixed stars, by a people who had but recently emerged from barbarism. The resultant table was of very little value and required constant revision and correction. It was only by long and patient study and observation, by gaining knowledge from repeated failures, that finally was produced the accurate and scientific register, which today bears the name of calendar. Furthermore, the material and shape of the tablet upon which the calendar was engraved or printed, was a constant .temptation to artists to decorate it with pen- cil or brush, which caused it to become a valuable me- dium for inculcating in the minds of the people, ideas of the sublime and beautiful, and never more so than at the present time. As regards the almanac, it also is of ancient memory, as we have positive evidence of its existence more than twelve hundred years before the Christian era. To its compilation scientists, philosophers, theologians, poets 12 American Antiquarian Sodety.

  • Calendar As a Criterion in the Study of Culture
    Article Calendar as a Criterion in the Study of Culture Marija Šegan-Radonji´c 1,‡ and Stevo Šegan 2,‡ 1 Mathematical Institute of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts 2 Department of Mathematics, State University of Novi Pazar Abstract: The paper considers the calendar as a link between the cosmos and mankind, and it introduces it as an instrument in studying culture. It uses the concept of calendars/calendar systems as a criterion for recognition and formation of culture in general. Starting from an assumption that the calendar is a structurally organized system of events or holidays, it analyses the basic units of a calendar: day, month and year, and distinguishes a calendar holiday from a non-calendar holiday. It states that the calendars are a structural list of collective memory within a social group, where this memory is described in cyclical categories – calendar holidays. Furthermore, considering that the initial epoch of year counting may be different in different cultures, it discusses how cultural self-awareness is expressed through the epoch of the calendar era. Finally, it explores how and to what extent the formation, interaction, and reforms of calendars and their systems reflect the change in culture. The paper concludes that calendars and their systems should be used as a criterion in defining culture. Keywords: Calendar; Culture. 1. Introduction Culture, as a notion, can be considered in a narrower and a broader sense1, and some theoreticians have succeeded to identify as many as 164 definitions of this phenomenon [2]. Furthermore, modern science strives to comprehend and describe this phenomenon as generally as possible, and the new complex disciplines, such as the problem of culture typology (criterion) [3], have appeared and been developed.

  • The Authorized Biography the Definitive History of the Legendary Swiss Manufacture
    Press release Patek Philippe SA Geneva November 2016 Patek Philippe: The Authorized Biography The definitive history of the legendary Swiss manufacture Written by Nicholas Foulkes, an acclaimed specialist in art and horology, and spanning over 500 pages, this work describes the evolution of the independent Genevan manufacture from its beginnings in 1839 to the present. The English edition is being released in November and will be followed by other languages as of 2018. Drawing on exclusive interviews with the company’s owners and with staff and watchmakers past and present, as well as on hitherto unseen documents from the company’s archives, Patek Philippe: The Authorized Biography celebrates the history of a unique company. Renowned historian, author, and editor Nicholas Foulkes traces Patek Philippe’s history from founder Antoine Norbert de Patek’s early life in Poland as a young cavalry officer fighting in a doomed uprising. He recounts Patek’s exile, his life in Geneva, his meeting with gifted watchmaker Jean Adrien Philippe, and the 1932 purchase of the company by the Stern family, whose members, over four generations, have turned it into the legend that it is today. His vibrant narrative pays tribute not only to the creations of the Genevan manufacture but also to the gifted individuals who forged its history – especially to the many generations of watchmakers and artisans who can take credit for its success. Among other notable anecdotes, The Authorized Biography reveals, for the first time, the story of a unique timepiece bought by Queen Victoria for her husband Prince Albert. In addition, Nicholas Foulkes was granted privileged access to interview the widow of famed Swiss jewelry designer Gerald Genta, who was responsible for the design of the first Nautilus model in 1976.
