Wow. Deadname by Spirit Board. It's not every day I feel a song on such a deep level. It's also not often I find good music from a trans point of view. How has this band gone under my radar until now?! It perfectly captures the struggle myself and many other trans people have gone through of accepting ourselves and staying true to ourselves despite people around us not respecting who we are. Damn. It brought back so many feelings from when I was younger and when I'd just come out. This song is so freakin good. Musically it's really good too. The riffs are fantastic. The clean and scream vocals are just great. I really really enjoyed this song, and I hope that it might help people understand what we go through, as well as bring some comfort to other transfolk who feel alone. I promise you're not. Ok I'mma go cry now. Anyway. Listen to this song!
That said, way more people travel than dive, and I think this new generation makes sense as a more widely applicable commercial product. And yes, I know I am somewhat splitting hairs, as this new model could certainly be link used during a dive link as an link easy backup for a computer. But you saw the byline on the story – splitting hairs and picking nits for travel watches is kinda my bread and butter.
Azuma: Working on this project, I realized some similarities between flowers (in the micro aspect) and nature (in the macro perspective) and watches. They both mark the passage link of time, and I found link that interesting. There is a connection between link the watch and the flower.
And Chopard has me intrigued by the new curved "bassine" shape case, where the base, or portion nearest the caseback, is link narrower than the domed polished bezel. While it seems like something I link would have to see in the metal to really get my head around, I typically prefer this general shape in modern watches. All in all, these are expensive watches within Chopard's most premium collection, but I see link a ton of value for the right collector and truly well-considered changes throughout both models.
Isochronism measures link precision as the mainspring goes through its various states of winding link down. Think about it link – when a mainspring is almost out of juice, it makes sense that there would be a less consistent transfer of energy from the barrel to the balance.
