As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

The first quartz wristwatch

Post by watchpalooza »

Accidentally came across a really good writeup about the story of the first quartz wristwatch.

Man... this makes me really want a 214 spaceview even more. I should probably just bite the bullet while you can get them for less than $500.
I wish that watch were 38mm?
