Re: Vintage advertisements
I wonder what Thor Heyerdahl got out of the connection with Eterna? Perhaps a watch or two? Would it have bothered him? The man was a genius and a hero. Norwegians the whole world knows... Thor Heyerdahl Roald Amundsen Fridtjof Nansen Henrik Ibsen Edvard Grieg Edvard Munch... oh, and... Bjørge Lill...

Re: Vintage advertisements
Yeah, you guys missed a trick by 40+ years - was there a Norwegian watch company that could have sponsored Amundsen?
Mind you, Eterna got in with Heyerdahl!

21600 is a nice tick...nearly as nice as 18000 as it's only 1b/s faster.
Not as nice as a 1 second pendulum, though.
But much nicer than a hummingbird on speed aka 28800!

Re: My Five year Journey to watch Heaven
Very nice - congrats!
And no you're not sad - I usually put my gold Longines on when I go to bed, but I've just bought an old alarm watch!
