Before the Internet…

March came in like a lion this year. Last Friday night we all waited for a storm to blow through which before it was over would dump over a foot of wet, heavy snow onto the surrounding trees, which in turn would break and drop several large pine boughs onto and through the mess of life lines connected to our home. Power inevitably returned, but it would be a few days before the cable company could reconnect the line running from the telephone pole out back, spanning over a hundred feet to our house.

It was the last major storm of the season, we all hope around here. But with downed power lines and our heat having been knocked out, my wife and I began thinking about the projects we could accomplish in the meanwhile.

I used to spend so many evenings writing in an unlined journal for months overseas, before returning home and the World Wide Web really became so much a part of my every day life, and it dawned on me (without an internet connection) that it was time to bring them both together, and to use this wonderful WordPress technology to get back in the habit of writing.

Which is why I hope to begin using this platform as an excuse, somewhat ironically, to write more.

    PBN sites
    We shall create a structure of privately-owned blog network sites!

    Benefits of our privately-owned blog network:

    We perform everything SO THAT Google DOES NOT grasp THAT THIS IS A PBN network!!!

    1- We purchase web domains from separate registrars

    2- The leading site is hosted on a VPS server (Virtual Private Server is high-speed hosting)

    3- Additional sites are on distinct hostings

    4- We assign a individual Google ID to each site with verification in Search Console.

    5- We design websites on WP, we don’t use plugins with assistance from which Trojans penetrate and through which pages on your websites are generated.

    6- We do not repeat templates and employ only distinct text and pictures

    We never work with website design; the client, if desired, can then edit the websites to suit his wishes

    Understanding COSC Certification and Its Importance in Watchmaking
    COSC Accreditation and its Strict Criteria
    COSC, or the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, is the official Switzerland testing agency that certifies the precision and accuracy of wristwatches. COSC certification is a mark of excellent craftsmanship and trustworthiness in timekeeping. Not all timepiece brands follow COSC certification, such as Hublot, which instead adheres to its proprietary stringent standards with movements like the UNICO calibre, reaching comparable accuracy.

    The Science of Exact Chronometry
    The core mechanism of a mechanized watch involves the spring, which provides power as it unwinds. This system, however, can be prone to external elements that may affect its accuracy. COSC-certified mechanisms undergo strict testing—over 15 days in various circumstances (five positions, three temperatures)—to ensure their durability and dependability. The tests assess:

    Typical daily rate precision between -4 and +6 secs.
    Mean variation, peak variation rates, and impacts of thermal variations.
    Why COSC Certification Matters
    For watch aficionados and collectors, a COSC-accredited timepiece isn’t just a item of technology but a testament to enduring excellence and precision. It signifies a watch that:

    Offers exceptional dependability and accuracy.
    Ensures guarantee of quality across the whole design of the timepiece.
    Is likely to hold its worth more efficiently, making it a wise investment.
    Well-known Timepiece Manufacturers
    Several well-known manufacturers prioritize COSC certification for their timepieces, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, presents collections like the Record and Soul, which feature COSC-certified mechanisms equipped with innovative substances like silicon balance suspensions to boost durability and efficiency.

    Historic Context and the Evolution of Chronometers
    The idea of the chronometer originates back to the need for exact timekeeping for navigational at sea, emphasized by John Harrison’s work in the eighteenth cent. Since the formal establishment of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the certification has become a yardstick for judging the accuracy of high-end timepieces, continuing a tradition of excellence in horology.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-validated timepiece is more than an aesthetic choice; it’s a dedication to excellence and precision. For those valuing accuracy above all, the COSC validation offers peacefulness of thoughts, ensuring that each certified timepiece will perform reliably under various circumstances. Whether for individual satisfaction or as an investment, COSC-accredited watches distinguish themselves in the world of horology, maintaining on a legacy of meticulous chronometry.
