Biggest regret ever for me was not buying the Speedmaster back in the early 90s when it was really affordable. Had one in my hands but decided against buying it.

@Tom_H327 Жыл бұрын

This is what also happened to me. Wife wanted to get me one as an anniversary gift in 96, but I thought 2k was too much money at the time and said no. We were recently married and I thought we had not developed our careers enough to have the disposable income for such a purchase. Fast forward to last month; I mentioned to her about the Omega Speedmaster we almost bought, complaining about the rise in price since then. She flat out told me, "Well, you was being an idiot, thinking you were being smart, and I wasnt going to argue and make you feel like you didn't have any say in how we spend our money at the time. You didn't know I had already budgeted for it and we could have afforded it. So, its your fault." 😡

From this list I, myself, personally, would choose the Smith's simply for the little known history and the story behind it. However, the "best" I suppose has really got to be the Speedmaster. Why? Because it has an iconic status no other watch will be able to match. Except, possibly, the first watch to be worn on Mars. Even then I hope it is a Speedmaster. I would go further. I would like it to become a spacefaring tradition that whenever mankind first sets foot on another celestial body they are wearing a Speedmaster. Indeed maybe gift one to the local inhabitants.

Auguste Piccard at 6:12 was the model for Hergé's Professor Calculus in the Tintin cartoons. Hergé used to sit outside a cafe in Brussels sketching passers by. Piccard had a teaching job nearby and was fairly well known anyway so Hergé used him as an unwitting model. If you do a Google image search for him you will find pictures of him wearing an improvised basketweave crash helmet, that makes him look just as unhinged as his cartoon counterpart.

Apollo missions knew where they were headed and had large and well funded State Agencies supporting them. Easy job. The really tough guys were the explorers from the 15th Century. They had no clue where they were, where they were headed and even if they could sail back home one day. And doing all that aboard slow vessels, unable to sail at better angles than 90 degrees to the wind, and no Breguet, Omega or Rolex watch to help.
