Yesterday Wendy enjoyed a day of wandering around the Santa Ynez Valley. We stopped for lunch at Industrial Eats in Buellton, then onto Solvang where there is an antique store with a fairly deep collection of vintage watches and amongst some of the odds and ends they had what appeared to be a virtually new (although clearly not) marine chronometer made by Ulysse-Nardin - the big kind you find in a box, that was used for actual maritime purposes. Photos were not an option, so you will have to use your imagination.
So I came home, and noodled around and found this, a sort of "retro" interpretation of the current Marine Chronometer.
