The Duality of Henki

Roving around Indeed yesterday, I stumbled upon this -

For those of you tuning in from outside of the US, yesterday was significant here for reasons other than American Football. But with that said, it also served as a reminder that life moves forward, nothing is permanent and the only constant that you can guarantee is change. And to prove that point, my alma mater (the Ducks) waddled out of the fabled Horseshoe in Columbus, Ohio victorious! We have played Ohio State before, and suffice it to say, we have lost...not infrequently ; )

On a personal note, I grew up in Ohio, but opted to attend university in Oregon. At the time (late 80s), a football game was not something to be taken seriously in terms of winning and losing. No offense to my U of O generation of footballing Ducks, but those games were more like men against boys - and Oregon were the boys in that scenario.  

So needless to say, SNGLRTY's Linkedin post grabbed my attention as if it were composed just for this Northern Youth.

In case you missed it in the past, SNGLRTY (as far as I know) started life as a Kickstarter project and dropped a few years back. The concept is pretty straightforward - a patented one-hand watch that can be customized by the owner.

This is the Black Hornet (love the name!) -

The case is of stainless steel, measuring 40.5 mm in diameter. The movement is the Sellita SW200-1 imbued with super powers by an OH12 time adjustment.

Curious to relate, when you Google OH12 time adjustment you get information on daylight savings time adjustment in... Ohio.

Spooky!
