Concentrated watch nerdery, SIHH
Also Audemars Piguet released a bunch of stuff yesterday but I get bored to hell by yet another fucking Royal Oak

Greubel Forsey have a new version of their GMT
It looks exactly as you'd expect from them, like some mad scientist decided to make a watch. It's got a tiny Earth in there! https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/greubel-forsey-gmt-earth-introducing
And finally for today, IWC have released a collection celebrating their 150th anniversary https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/iwc-jubilee-150th-anniversary-collection-introducing
Metric shit-tonne of watches in the collection, most interesting are the Tribute to Pallweber which has digital hours and minutes

@er1n best practice, yes, but practically shouldn't make much of a difference
@Efi they say third time's the charm, might get it right this cycle
@Efi oh they're not quite that bad, they only do that for the first century or so
As I said, bugger all help in the short term but they'll get there eventually
Or wipe themselves out in nuclear fire, one of the two
@Efi the good part is that you can convince humanity that it's wrong about something
The bad part is that it takes bloody ages and is absolutely no help in the short term
@Efi fair point
But once humanity has a bee in its bonnet it eventually ends up either actually or effectively being reality
@Efi it's not in the slightest how it should be, but it's how I'd see humanity dealing with a vast land of the dead
@Efi Yes it's separate, we'd call them ghosts, humanity has a hard enough time considering people as people let alone ghosts, and millennia of case law
@blackle@dev.glitch.social I think they look like a Claude
@squirrel I would too in that situation, that's just strange
@vantablack it was a simpler time
Arguments up the pub lasted much longer due to the lack of real time fact checking
It was still possible to get lost
Selfies weren't anywhere near as much of a thing
Anon asks: Who's your favourite British Octopus? From Totally Not SamTheOctopus
@squirrel :(
@squirrel ah right, they could have fixed it by now, or found a replacement large printer
Either that or there might be a way to split the large bit into two prints
@squirrel you should go up there then!
They might have some shiny new toys up there to play with!
@squirrel well you could probably do the smaller pieces on that one and then bug someone to show you how to get good results on a bigger one for the main case
I'm sure someone up there would be happy to help out
@squirrel we should get you a 3d printer, then not only could you print that out, but you could print replacement parts for yourself!
@squirrel that looks super cool
