What if?

Dear watch companies,

What if?

What if each one of you could take even $5,000 from your annual budgets and donate it to a common cause?  What if the mighty SWATCH, Richemont, LVMH, ROLEX, Sowind, Audemars Piguet, Patek Phillipe, Ulysse Nardin… what if you all came together with a reasonable contribution with the sole goal of trying to fix an "unfixable" problem?

What if 100 watch companies in the world each contributed $5,000 - or more - to fund rangers to protect elephants and rhinos from poachers?  What if based on that, we could then go to people with even more money?  What if your KINDNESS and willingness to do something that was totally selfless then triggered people like Phil Knight of Nike, or Oprah Winfrey, or Bill Gates - I mean, let's aim high here!  What if that all got so much money - and so much attention, that it would be better financially for a father to become a ranger, rather than to become a poacher?  

And what if that action, created a groundswell in China and Vietnam to help people understand that maybe, just maybe the preservation of a species is more valuable than a dubious aphrodisiac?

So, let's name some names - Biver, Hayek, Hoffmann, Sofisti (THANK YOU!), Stern, Marini, Raffi, Stas and all the rest of you -

Are you really interested in doing something great - or is it just talk and PR?  

What am I asking for?  $5,000 if you have it - for some of you big brands, that is WAY less than you spend on a month of advertising.  And as the saying goes, if you can't afford $5,000, give what you can!

Do you really want to make a mark in the world and not just talk about it?  Here is a chance to do it!

Who is in?

What If? Update Number 8!

And a BIG THANK YOU goes out to MARVIN for joining the Tempus Fugit Initiative!

We are starting to get some momentum going here, Marvin is lucky number 13!

Our "Band of Brothers and Sisters" has grown to 12 with RESSENCE joining forces with Girard-Perregaux, JEANRICHARD, A. Manzoni & Fils, Kobold, Aquadive, ISOfrane, Xetum, Jardur, Gavox, the Oberlin Pen Company, SAVOY and Marvin!

JARDUR- You NEED to Know About This

One of the truly enjoyable aspects of writing and maintaining this little watch blog is that you get to take part in people's dreams - if only from a distance. C.C. Shermer is the type of dreamer that I truly wish I ran across more often. We all have dreams - most of us never get past the dreaming.  Enter CC Shermer and JARDUR - one man's dream has become a fantastic reality!

So what's under the hood?

Model:                       The Degreemeter  Reference:                 3712 Movement type:         ETA 7750 Case Material:            Stainless Steel Case Diameter:          42MM Case Height:              16MM Water Resistance:     300 Meters Base Caliber:             See above Special Features:      Degreemeter, Bezelmeter-unelapsed hours,  Chronograph, Date Display, Screw-Down  Crown, Non-Reflective Crystal Price:                            $3,600.00 Availability: 19 out of 66 chronographs

There is, of course, much more to talk about and I hope to get more info from Mr. Shermer.  But just take a moment and enjoy the JARDUR.  And take a moment to think about all of the things you dreamed of doing... it's never too late!

Or as Mr. Shermer puts it:

The value of an experience is incredibly powerful.  Where you have been and what you have seen has the potential to redefine how you view the world.

Jardur is Back with the Degreemeter 3712!

For those of you hard-core pilot watch nuts out there, here is something new and special for you - Jardur!
While there are many watch companies now founded on the concept of direct sales via the Internet, Jardur in many ways pioneered this concept.  PX's was where you would likely find a Jardur watch, and for many service men, that was as close to "buying direct" as you could get back then.
