@mal @Frinkeldoodle looks similar to that here as well, few more linebreaks here

@skynebula I'm lead to believe that Farer do all of the assembly in Switzerland with their design offices in England, certainly wouldn't be the first brand to do that

As to how many of the individual parts aside from the movement are manufactured in Switzerland, well, there's ongoing arguments in the industry about exactly how Swiss a Swiss Made watch is

@maple hm... that's less than ideal

@skynebula yeah, auto-chronos are really quite pricey these days

They do have a couple of quartz chronos that are far more reasonably priced, flyback rattrapante for £535 which is pretty damn neat (their "Pendine" and "Ainsdale")

Farer are putting out some nice stuff, they've just released their new Lander Chronograph

Automatic chrono movement (ETA 2894-2 with custom rotor), 39x12.5mm case size, colourful dial, quite nice all around

Also fairly well priced for an auto-chrono these days

That condition is "not smelling sufficiently of oranges"

@maple imagine: C5 with in-...on-vehicle? entertainment system powered by a speccy

@a_breakin_glass @maple no, just impractical with the tech of the time

Perfect vehicle for short-range @maple transport

@maple TINIEST LIL PICKUP CAR!

@maple the ones over here were rebadged Suzuki Carrys under the name Bedford Rascal

@maple there's a bunch of vans like that made in Japan!

They tend to call them microvans, they look so tiny and cute!

@maple one of the van ones and turn it into a tiny campervan!

@evie @maple recompiled to add openPGP support

@maple maybe they heard a maplecoin joke and they took it seriously

@FASA_Andrew_1879 @maloki ah, yeah, not much call for allotments if everyone has a bunch of land spare

@FASA_Andrew_1879 @maloki in terms of getting republicans to have any interest at all modelling it on an allotment-type system might get somewhere

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotment_(gardening)

they'd go in for the concept of "oh yeah, I'll grow food for me" and then when they end up with two tonnes of radishes they'll probably be okay with the idea of sharing it around

gives them a way to ease into the whole idea

not ideal by any means but hey, work with what you've got
