What is in a name? For the “4N-MVT01/D01/42″ French watch designer Francois Quentin, set out to design an easy to read display with display digital time through a mechanical analog function. Three numeric discs will rotate to display the time using big and easy to read yellow/orange numbers. Below the display of the watch is the mechanical movement with exposed gears and sprockets. The manufacturer run will be limited to only 16 pieces. Pricing is unknown, but with this limited run, price won’t be your biggest concern.

PSA

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

Growing up as a kid in southern California, I remember flying PSA (Pacific Southwest Airlines)  quite often to visit my dad in Los Angeles. It was always an enjoyable experience, unlike flying today. Now if I can just remember why I had such a great time on the airline whose slogan was “Catch Our Smile.”

Was it the cool flight pins they gave us kids?

Maybe it was the airplane glider kits?

I don’t think it was the low fare’s, as being a kid my parents always paid for the flights?
