Today: during #hedgewatch on #Fuerteventura we found this #granite who was greeting us with a #heart made of #feldspar - interior & rim are made of feldspar. The other #mineral's are #quartz & #mica.
We wish a wonderful Sunday

An excellent, data-rich #longread about the #Swiss #watch industry, the #quartz crisis of the early 1980s, the emergence of #Swatch, and the subsequent revival of #mechanical watches after the year 2000, from a magazine I hadn't heard of before. It's a must-read if you're interested in #watches!

Edit: The article gets the Hayek/Thomke history (almost) right.

Elmar Mock’s sketch of the Swatch watch, presented to Ernst Thomke in their meeting on 27th March 1980:

Hand-drawn technical sketch by Elmar Mock showing a cross-section of the early Swatch watch concept, presented to Ernst Thomke on 27 March 1980. The drawing, made on graph paper, depicts the domed PMMA watch glass, the monocoque plastic case, integrated movement support and printed circuits, all labelled in French. The coloured sections (blue for the glass, green for the movement parts, red for the case) illustrate how the components fit together in a simplified, compact construction.

Three specimens of the "Snow Quartz in Jar" product are arranged on a raw wood slice. The small vials are clear and have cork stoppers with an iridescent snowflake charm tied around the neck. They contain several small rough pieces of opaque white quartz. One vial is tipped over and the quartz pieces are arranged just outside the uncorked opening. Presented by Inked Goddess Creations.

Take a gneiss trip to Jay Cooke State Park, Minnesota.

You won't find any gold, but you'll see a lot of nice white pines.
