Amusing failure in Omega analogue watch
My father gave me his gold watch, a 25 year old Omega analogue quartz.
It had been lying idle in his drawer with the time-setting pin disengaged. After re-engaging the pin, the hands began advancing at 4 times the normal rate. After 1 hour it has gained 3 hours. I assume the crystal is oscillating at a higher overtone, maybe due to a weak battery. In any case I now have a watch to match the reverse Dick Smith wall clock above my desk. Maybe I should start collecting misbehaving timepieces. - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. |
