Geneva Watch "start racing 'for helmsman / navigator / tactician In connection with the model Yachtingraf Yema, a word on the "start of the regatta. "The guns are given to" Start - 10mins, then -5, etc.. 
Hence the interest to have these "two times for 5 minutes, during which the crew is busy tack (tack), upstream of the start line. is what we call the pre-departure, where competitors are all the same side of the line (starting area). This line is formed by the alignment of the committee boat, carrying the flag, and another (or buoy). This line should be taken only AFTER q eu-departure has been given, and certainly not before (starting grilled) on pain of having to iron it in the right direction, and-more redoing round the buoy or ship committee. Hence a huge waste of time, and any chance of winning. These guns (Nowadays beeps horn (s ong and short) or rocket pistol are given at -10, -5, -4, -1, 0 minutes. Sometimes they report "cancellation" or "general recall." There are also illustrated by changes of flags on the boat of the Commissioner, but Sovereign ent difficult to see as hidden by competitors. So it is very interesting for helmsman and the navigator and tactician or to have a cover of the remaining time information to even his wrist. A few seconds departure of all boats there are, under the same tack, a few meters of the crossing, and a few feet of each other. All in a concert swear to affirm its priorities. It keep in mind the remaining time, distance that still separates us from the line, the strength of the winds and the speed of the boat, take the time each operation as it will slow the momentum. Yema, Omega, Girard-Perregaux were interested in the extent of this count. 
making 7 knots 13 km / hour, the elapsed time time so precious, flows very quickly and slowly at a time. Illustrated by blue dots and red, they better keep a cool head. interest is to control its positioning on the water and time runs out. must quickly decide to make another little board "waste of time" or not. This count is 10 minutes of departure visually translated by such shows. PS: The rules of racing are revised are, internationally, for periods of 4 to 5 years; So unfortunately ment such a watch of the sixties is not always consistent with previous laws in force, but who cares qd we love vintage! ! !

MORTIMER = Cattin ... is the trademark of this very house, founded in 1926 by EMILE Morteau CATTIN: (1904-1979), route de Villiers le Lac, in 1947 associated with Martial Vuillemin, production was approximately 30 000 hits widely distributed Market French, English, Americans, the bankruptcy was declared in 1990, as Kiple. Today ' hui, a street Morteau por you the name of Emile Cattin. The old factory was renovated by CATTIN City Morteau as local entrepreneurs.

Casing dimensions of 23.3 mm, outside diameter of 26.2mm plate can be considered as the gauge of 25.6 mm. It is a pillar gauge train Roskopf kind. By design, the exhaust plugs has a lower efficiency than the lever escapement. Exhaust fitting templates of this kind, built at the same time in France, are of different types: straight exhaust, the exhaust side sloping line and the exhaust side to 90 degrees. Exhausts usually fitted with ankle watches "economic" thus, the design thereof directed towards less cost, leads to different solutions from those used in watches to anchor.

MORTEAU:
We did Tourism Morteau. The town clock, which bore various industry players, who all failed despite serious attempts. I see a romantic aspect, that one feels when walking through this quaint town, sleeping in France and works in Switzerland. Tell me if I'm wrong.
On a general level, I am interested in the industrial strategies in the French swore at the time.
Big doubts about watches Historical Einstein! Lawrence of Arabia! Roosevelt! Kennedy! Abraham Lincoln! Frank Sinatra! Steve McQueen! Johannes These watches are carriers of history worthy of being collected. It is in the name of the owner that prestigious is any interest, no? The question I ask myself is this. What document original warranty seller he gives to authenticate? Some evidence of authenticity gives me serious doubts! - Antiquorum auction shows a historically
MAJEURE as having belonged to Albert Einstein! (The sale was held October 16th at Antiquorum's U.S. headquarters on Madison Avenue in New York.) Read this: : http://www.antiquorum.com/eng/press2008 / oct16_ny . htm, photo-cons. - The bidder has acquired for the record price of U.S. $ 596,000! !
My biggest doubt - I take for example the OMEGA Lawrence of Arabia (auj ourd'hui Museum of Omega, which was sold in November 2000, Geneva by Antiquorum (86000 Swiss Francs)).
- For only evidence, a receipt of a repair period (1933) was attached to the watch. It is well known name of owner ... Ouff! .... but it does reassure me halfway.
- One blogger arises more questions about this watch, dated 1912 (that is to dig too, read his article), knowing that Omega was exported to France! (Or its colonies)
- How does it find the arm of this agent his gracious Majesty with such inscriptions, those of his army (Royal Flying Corps).
- Lawrence of Arabia was, in fact, a student of military architecture and has been traveling in another, France, cycling in 1905.
- In 1909, when he sailed for Beirut, it does nothing (a camera and a pistol).
short, he bought this watch during his early years in France , N ON: it was way too early. The investigation must continue ... ....... MORE SERIOUS: - President Roosevelt's Movado
- Frank Sinatra’s Gruen
- Sammy Davis Jr.’s Cartier Pasha
- Steve McQueen Heuer “Monaco”
- Giuseppe Bonanno, the "Godfather" 's Gold Patek Philippe
- Abraham Lincoln's Pocket Watch
