well, i think its spelled like that.
In 1 week im off to japan. were going from zurich to vienna, and then vienna to tokyo, that last part is 13 hours!!!
Im afraid that i might loose my mind on that long flight. not because im afraid of flying, more of being closed in a tube for 13 hours. normally flying from iceland(3-4 hours) is driving my wife quite crazy. I get so restless!
But we will see how that all goes.
Other then that i got a whammy from my boss, need to deliver a watch before i go. i get the last parts on wednesday. that means making those parts work and then case the watch on thursday and friday(cause we all know that wednesday means wednesday night, if not early thursday morning.) Time will tell.
I will take a million and half photos. and post the naughty ones ;)

Photos part 1
these are just some random photos of the people that i work with. What all these photos have in common is they made watches that were displayed(in VIP rooms) in Basel and Geneve)
They might be expensive, but we are pro's we know what were doing!
Im sure we do! dont worry :)
a little shout out to my peeps!
Photos part 2
Some more photos, of more ppl, of more watches going big places!
This is really an inspiring place to work, where you see the Creme de la Creme every day! Its hard not to get spoiled by it. When i walked around on basel, looking at all the "normal" watches there, i got bored quite fast tbh.

Video games
I read a wikipedia page about Jack Thompson, and boy, that man is KAH-RAZY. Someone even likened him with Don Quixote, fighting his eternal battle against magical evils and dragons(aka games and game developers).
And i hereby declare that Video games is one of the BEST entertainment solutions since Orson wells "War of the worlds" on radio. TV is brain killing, we all know this, it doesnt ask you any questions, only talks and talks and talks. Infact, TV is like that 14 year old girl who just thinks her side of the story is soooo much more interesting then anything else, more interesting infact then any thing else.
Books are good, at least they call upon your imagination.
But, Games(tv ones or computer ones, same same) are atleast getting you engaged, thinking, and interacting. Ill go as far as saying that Violent computer games are good for moderately violent people to calm down a bit. Ofc, crazy ppl(like Jack thompson) have always existed, and murders and random violence has always existed, games or no games. This is just the latest scapegoat for the white middle aged(good chance of Christianity, not a defining factor, but these crack pots just always seem to be) to blame the state of the youth on. It even all started with the Space invaders game. When in fact, if you put the table for the amount of crime victims per 1000 citizens(i guess this is america) and put over the release dates for different violent games.
well, this is the effect!

Kinda makes you chuckle huh.
Thats it.

At long last
I have finished my first watch!! *loud cheers*
Yes, thats right, My first 470 000 euro watch is ready. Its the Girard perregaux Jackpot. Im quite happy with it. Got very good marks on quality(aka how clean and well finished it was. also in regards to how it worked). And im very well pleased with that. Ofcourse.
My parents are coming for my fathers 60 year birthday. I just hope that we have good enough ativities laid up for them, the right food etc.
Ive decided to try and revive this blog a little, with smaller but more frequent posts >.<
So! hopefully see you soon :)
