Welcome back everyone as we kick off our 8th Season of Keeping Time! We are thrilled to kick off the new season with a very special guest, Bernhard Lederer. Mr. Lederer is a highly accomplished Master Watchmaker with many decades of experience creating and achieving complicated and challenging timepieces, including ground-breaking clocks and remarkable wristwatches. The most recent project is the GPHG Award-Winning Central Impulse Chronometer. Claiming the 2021 GPHG Award in the Innovation category, Lederer Watches has achieved one of the holy grails of watchmaking. Whilst it can be said that this watch furthers the work of George Daniels, Mr Lederer has innovated and challenged the notion of a modern wristwatch chronometer. Join us for an insightful conversation as we explore Mr. Lederer's rich horological history, discuss his influences and outline career achievements. We will go deep into the technical brilliance and achievements of the GPHG Award-Winning Central Impulse Chronometer. We discuss the inspiration and the numerous challenges involved in realizing the fulfillment of this challenging creation. We also discuss Mr Lederer's contact and relationship with the great Master, George Daniels. For photos visit: https://blog.osterjewelers.com/category/podcast/

In this fascinating podcast John Reardon speaks with his great friend, William Andrewes who is one of the world's leading horologists, a historian, clockmaker, inventor, artist, and sundial maker. Will's career in the watch world has been extraordinary. In this part 1 of a two-part podcast, Andrewes explains how he started as an apprentice with the legendary watchmaker George Daniels, first completing an unfinished clock by John Harrison who solved the problem of finding longitude at sea. Andrewes shares several anecdotes of his time with George Daniels giving us a rare insight to one of the world's greatest watchmakers. After teaching at Eton College and working at the Old Royal Observatory in Greenwich, Will Andrewes's career moved across the pond when Seth Atwood asked him to be curator of the then most important horological museum, the Time Museum in Rockford, IL. Andrewes shares charming stories about the Time Museum including how Seth Atwood managed to buy the most important Patek Philippe watch ever made, the Graves Supercomplication directly from Henry Graves's grandson. In part 2, Will Andrewes shares his own explanation as to 'What is time?' and why he has devoted the current chapter of his career to making sundials.

In this lively and personal interview, John Reardon talks with his first boss and mentor in the auction world, Daryn Schnipper. Daryn started her career at Sotheby's in 1980 straight out of college, and today is the chairman of the International Watch Division. For over 40 years, she has built an exceptional career and at one time, every watch department head of the top auction houses trained under Daryn's tutelage. Daryn was an early pioneer of wristwatches as a new collecting category and organized the first dedicated wristwatch auctions. Under her leadership, watch sales expanded in Geneva, and in 1997 she opened Sotheby's first Asian watch department in Hong Kong. Daryn has played a pivotal role in the sale of numerous important single owner watch and clock collections. These include the now iconic 1999 auction of the masterpieces from the Time Museum in which the Patek Philippe Graves Supercomplication hammered for USD11 million, a significant world record for any timepiece at auction at the time. In 2012, Daryn sold the horological collection of her friend and former colleague George Daniels for USD14 million. Among her many accolades, in 2017 Daryn was made a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers, the oldest horological guild in the world.

As an art curator, Todd Levin is in that unique position where his attention to detail and the research that goes into what he does for a living, plays into his role when it comes to collecting. A collector of many things, from art, to watches, to rare jazz records, and architecture, Todd hasn't necessarily taken the typical approach to some of these. For example, Todd has always appreciated watches, but after reconnecting with watches once his Dad passed away, Todd went right for the big boys. No, not Patek, Rolex, or Audemars Piguet, but George Daniels and Philippe Dufour. That may not mean a lot to some of you, but for us watch nerds, that's BIG TIME. How about his new (but old) Frank Lloyd Wright house that has no 90 degree angles? Todd does things with a purpose and doesn't make any rash decisions, which we absolutely love. It's a side of collecting you don't see often. He isn't hoarding, or necessarily amassing, but artfully collecting with finesse. Take some notes. Here you go, Todd Levin for Collectors Gene Radio.Talking Watches w/ Todd Levin - https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/talking-watches-with-todd-levin

John Alan Resse is born and raised in Ohio, USA. He moved to Norway in 2002 with his Norwegian wife. He has two children and a daughter back home in the USA from a previous relationship. He talks about how he navigates the hardship in life when we don't see opportunities, and how he applies his insight in powerlifting into other aspects of his life. John has also made guest appearances on Norwegian TV broadcasting channels: TV2 and NRK where it's important to have media representation. He talks about his thoughts on crowdfunding for his new radio show to share more uplifting, inspiring and educational content; and makes an open call to the international community to band together so that we can support each other when we are barely surviving. Actions speak volumes to love and the social impact we want to create. The need to be seen and heard. John founded and hosted The Comin' Home Podcast, which is now turned into a FM radio show. John is currently a writer, singer-songwriter, champion and record-holding powerlifter, standup comedian, podcaster, and radio program producer, creator, and host. He was a former US Marine and US police officer who worked as a narcotics and gang detective, crime scene technician and juvenile officer for 7 years in the U.S.A. In Norway, he has worked as a project leader, music teacher, child services case worker, and consultant for the Norwegian Police Immigration Service, and founded 3 gyms. His podcast was inspired by his own search for motivation and meaning after losing his son to heroin overdose in November 2019. A huge big thank you to Scandic Ambassadeur Drammen and George Daniels for allowing us to use their venue. The interview was recorded back in February 2022, and both the guest and host were recovering from surgeries at the time.

In this episode we start with two novelties: the Nomos Club Sport Neomatik 37 and the Linde Werdelin Oktopus Moon 20th anniversary watch.Auction season is nearing, and in November both Phillips and Christie's will host auctions in Geneva. Highlights of the Phillips auction are, of course, the three George Daniels watches we discussed before. In this podcast we highlight some other lots, including a trio of Patek Phillipe 5970's and a unique Zenith x Voutilainen X Phillips, developed with the 1950's 135-O caliber.Christie's is auctioning a fantastic collection, including 12 Girard Perregaux pieces, a one-off Parmigiani Toric with Westminster gong and a platinum F.P. Journe with a red dial and Ferrari logo.

Australia is about as far away from the watchmaking centres of the world as it's possible to get. That hasn't stopped Reuben Schoots, hailing from our nations capital, from learning the art, and building his own watch, from scratch. Several years ago, while Schoots was recovering from chronic illnesses he picked up while travelling, he was introduced to the world of mechanical watches and dived in head-first. Like many people newly enamoured with the topic, he picked up a copy of George Daniels' Watchmaking. Unlike many people he understood it. More than that, he undertook his own Daniels-inspired watchmaking project. This led to an interest in tool-making and, later, CNC technology. Next thing you know, Schoots has pre-sold six pieces from his first series, and watchmaking in Australia might very well be about to enter a new era.

Nathalie Marielloni has had an extraordinary career in horology. It has taken her to some of the most important watchmaking related museums in the world: the Patek Philippe Museum, Museum of Art and History Geneva and the International Watchmaking Museum (MIH) in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Her career is a clear reflection of where her passion lies as she has mastered the demanding Swiss watchmaking school WOSTEP, is a GIA Graduate Gemologist, and has even been awarded the title of Freeman of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers following the successful sale of the George Daniels collection which she curated during her time at Sotheby's, London. As charming as she is accomplished, her conversation with Carlos Torres offers an insight into how a relatively short career so far has garnered a fascinating resume that would be hard to match in the watchmaking world.

Carlos Torres interviews independent Danish watchmaker Christian Lass who spent a decade as Master watchmaker at the Patek Philippe Museum, Geneva. Inspired to become a watchmaker by reading 'Watchmaking' by George Daniels, Lass apprenticed with Søren Anderson after watchmaking school, and then Vianney Halter who taught him how to make a watch from scratch. It was through his friend Philippe Dufour that he heard about a rare opening at the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva. During his time with Patek Philippe, he had the privilege to work on legendary timepieces such as the ref. 2499 and the Graves Supercomplication. After returning to his native Denmark, Christian Lass made his dream come true and started his own watchmaking company.

Whoosh! That's the sound of George Daniels passing you at your last race, and if you've been running the trails here in CT the last few years, good chance you've heard that whoosh and seen the man pass you at some point. Don't worry it's happened to all of us. George sits down and explains where he came from and what he was doing the previous 56 years before ultrarunning stardom. Fred has been running a bit and both Becky and Art have their own semi-decent streaks nipping on the heels of Mr. Murolo's epic streak. Jimmy's been jackassing around back and forth on the canal trail, readying himself for Boston. Shenanigans abound.

La Corte Suprema ha fallado  a favor de la Administración #DonaldTrump, permitiéndole aplicar la regla de "carga pública" que impondrá nuevos obstáculos a los inmigrantes para entrar y permanecer en Estados Unidos. La sentencia de la #CorteSuprema ocurre luego que el Gobierno apelara al fallo de varias cortes de Justicia que habían bloqueado la medida en octubre de 2019. Los cambios que persigue el Gobierno ampliarán el número de migrantes que puedan ser considerados una “carga pública” bajo la ley de Inmigración. Esto es definido por la regla como un extranjero que recibe uno o más beneficios públicos “durante más de 12 meses en el agregado dentro de cualquier período de 36 meses”. Esta designación impide a esos extranjeros obtener un visado de entrada al país (de trabajo o de visita), u obtener su green card, si las autoridades migratorias consideran que es “más probable que improbable” que requieran ayudas públicas durante más de 12 meses dentro de un periodo de 36 meses. Si recibieran dos ayudas durante un mes, contaría como dos meses. La asistencia para la vivienda, los cupones de alimentos e incluso la ayuda médica federal Medicaid (con algunas excepciones) son algunas de las 8 ayudas públicas que podrían hacer que un migrante sea inadmisible para el gobierno de Trump. Fuentes de los Servicios de Ciudadanía e #Inmigración (USCIS) estimaron que esta regla afectaría aproximadamente a unos 4.6 millones de extranjeros que recibieron ayudas sociales, número que representa al 23% de todos los no ciudadanos. Unas 550,000 personas solicitan cada año una tarjeta de residencia, de los que 380,000 serán objeto de esta nueva revisión. Estas disposiciones fueron adoptadas en agosto de 2019, pero tras demandas impuestas por agrupaciones de defensa de inmigrantes en Nueva York, Connecticut y Vermont, varias cortes impidieron que tuvieran efecto con fallos de primera instancia, al considerar que las medidas cruzaban los límites legales. George Daniels, juez federal de distrito sur de Nueva York, asegura que las reglas impulsadas por Trump son "repugnantes al sueño americano de la oportunidad de prosperidad y éxito", y que las medidas se apartan, sin justificación, de las políticas estadounidense de largo plazo, según The Wall Street Journal. El gobierno ya apeló en tribunales de segunda instancia para suspender estos bloqueos en dos cortes. Sin embargo, la Corte de Apelaciones de Nueva York mantuvo firme la decisión del juez Daniels, lo que impide a Trump avanzar con su resolución en la mayor parte del país. Otro fallo en paralelo bloqueó la apelación del gobierno también en el Estado de Illinois. En su apelación ingresada el lunes ante la Corte Suprema, el gobierno argumenta que las reglas deberían ser autorizadas mientras continúa el litigio. El Procurador General de los Estados Unidos, Noel Francisco, afirmó que el bloqueo de los tribunales perjudicaba al gobierno al obligarlo a otorgar el estatus de inmigración a "aquellos que no tienen derecho legal". Además, reclamó que un juez de un distrito tenga la capacidad de bloquear una regulación en todo el país. Se espera que la Corte Suprema solicite a los demandantes que respondan a la solicitud de la administración Trump en los próximos días.

1-El coronavirus, que se ha cobrado en China la vida de 81 personas y enfermado a más de 2,700, se está siguiendo muy de cerca también en Estados Unidos. Hasta el momento, se han identificado cinco casos en el país pero 110 personas de 26 estados están “bajo investigación” por el virus. Fuera de las fronteras chinas, EEUU es una de las naciones en las que 40 personas han contraído la enfermedad. Nancy Messonnier, directora del Centro Nacional para la Inmunización y las Enfermedades Respiratorias, dio este lunes los datos que afectan al país y advirtió que estamos ante “una situación que cambia rápidamente, tanto aquí como afuera”. Sin embargo, el riesgo inmediato para el público estadounidense general es bajo en este momento“. Messonnier asegura que en EEUU aún no se han documentado contagios de humano a humano pero adelanta que el programa que evalúa a viajeros que ingresan al país podría ampliarse en los próximos días a otras partes de China. El primer lugar que el propio gobierno chino puso en cuarentena fue Wuhan, la ciudad de 11 millones de habitantes que fue el epicentro de la epidemia. 2-El equipo legal de Donald Trump en el juicio político que se celebra en su contra en el Senado ha focalizado la defensa del presidente en el ataque del exvicepresidente Joe Biden y de su hijo Hunter. El ahora candidato demócrata está en el centro de la polémico ya que lo que se pone sobre la mesa es si el presidente abusó de su poder al presionar Ucrania para que investigara a su rival político y a otros demócratas. En su presentación durante la tarde de este lunes, la abogada Pam Bondi justifica que Trump haya presionado al país del este de Europa diciendo que lo único que hizo el presidente fue “presentar su preocupación”. La ex fiscal general de Florida preguntó por qué el informe de los fiscales demócratas decía que las afirmaciones sobre los Biden no tenía fundamento. “¿Por qué invocaron a Biden o a Burisma más de 400 veces?”, cuestionó la defensa de Trump desde la tribuna. Ella misma respondió que los demócratas “están diciendo que el presidente debe ser sometido al juicio político y destituido de su cargo por “presentar su preocupación“. 3-La Corte Suprema ha fallado hoy a favor de la Administración Trump, permitiéndole aplicar la regla de "carga pública" que impondrá nuevos obstáculos a los inmigrantes para entrar y permanecer en Estados Unidos. La sentencia de la Corte Suprema ocurre luego que el Gobierno apelara al fallo de varias cortes de Justicia que habían bloqueado la medida en octubre de 2019. Los cambios que persigue el Gobierno ampliarán el número de migrantes que puedan ser considerados una “carga pública” bajo la ley de Inmigración. Esto es definido por la regla como un extranjero que recibe uno o más beneficios públicos “durante más de 12 meses en el agregado dentro de cualquier período de 36 meses”. Esta designación impide a esos extranjeros obtener un visado de entrada al país (de trabajo o de visita), u obtener su green card, si las autoridades migratorias consideran que es “más probable que improbable” que requieran ayudas públicas durante más de 12 meses dentro de un periodo de 36 meses. Si recibieran dos ayudas durante un mes, contaría como dos meses. La asistencia para la vivienda, los cupones de alimentos e incluso la ayuda médica federal Medicaid (con algunas excepciones) son algunas de las 8 ayudas públicas que podrían hacer que un migrante sea inadmisible para el gobierno de Trump. Fuentes de los Servicios de Ciudadanía e Inmigración (USCIS) estimaron que esta regla afectaría aproximadamente a unos 4.6 millones de extranjeros que recibieron ayudas sociales, número que representa al 23% de todos los no ciudadanos. Unas 550,000 personas solicitan cada año una tarjeta de residencia, de los que 380,000 serán objeto de esta nueva revisión. Estas disposiciones fueron adoptadas en agosto de 2019, pero tras demandas impuestas por agrupaciones de defensa de inmigrantes en Nueva York, Connecticut y Vermont, varias cortes impidieron que tuvieran efecto con fallos de primera instancia, al considerar que las medidas cruzaban los límites legales. George Daniels, juez federal de distrito sur de Nueva York, asegura que las reglas impulsadas por Trump son "repugnantes al sueño americano de la oportunidad de prosperidad y éxito", y que las medidas se apartan, sin justificación, de las políticas estadounidense de largo plazo, según The Wall Street Journal. 4-La administración Trump demandó al estado de California, afirmando que una nueva ley estatal que prohíbe los contratos penitenciarios con fines de lucro interfiere inconstitucionalmente con la prisión federal y los sistemas de detención de inmigrantes. El caso, presentado en el Tribunal de Distrito de Estados Unidos en San Diego, le pide a un juez que prohíba la aplicación de la ley contra el gobierno federal. "California, por supuesto, es libre de decidir que ya no usará instalaciones privadas de detención para sus prisioneros y detenidos estatales", dijo la demanda. "Pero no puede dictar esa opción para el gobierno federal, especialmente de una manera que discrimina contra el gobierno federal y aquellos con quienes tiene contratos". El proyecto de ley 32 de la Asamblea, que entró en vigencia el 1 de enero, prohíbe los nuevos contratos de detención privada en California y los cambios a los contratos actuales. Elimina las instalaciones existentes por completo para 2028. El gobernador Gavin Newsom y los partidarios de la legislación han argumentado que las prisiones privadas y los centros de detención crean incentivos tanto para mayores tasas de encarcelamiento como para el maltrato de los reclusos para ahorrar costos.

Keeping Time Season 3 Episode 15: James Palmer, Watchmaker at Roger W Smith Watches Join us for the finale of a fantastic season as we we are joined by James Palmer, a driven 21 yr old watchmaker who works for the esteemed Dr. Roger W Smith, OBE. In many ways James represents the future of fine watchmaking. It is fitting that James has earned the opportunity to learn from Roger Smith and have the opportunity to perhaps continue the legacy passed down from the great Masters such as A.L. Breguet and George Daniels and Roger Smith. After seeing "The Watchmaker's Apprentice," a documentary about Roger Smith and George Daniels, James immediately applied to the British School of Watchmaking. Listen in as we hear about James' journey and discover how the attraction of watchmaking at the highest level can entice a young man to leave his home country of England to move to the relatively peaceful and remote Isle of Man. This is a fantastic conversation: Insightful, honest and full of the hope of a young Gentleman with a highly promising career in his hands.

Pandora TV1. 9/11: l'Iran condannato a risarcire Una corte di New York ha condannato la Repubblica Islamica dell'Iran, le Guardie Rivoluzionarie e la Banca Centrale Iraniana al pagamento di 6 miliardi di dollari, per risarcire i familiari delle vittime dell'attacco terroristico dell'11 settembre 2001. Secondo il JASTA (JUSTICE AGAINST SPONSORS OF TERRORISM ACT), una legge approvata nel 2016, anche Stati sovrani possono essere giudicati per coinvolgimento in terrorismo internazionale. Lo stesso giudice, George Daniels, aveva rigettato in marzo il ricorso dell'Arabia Saudita, da cui provenivano 15 su 19 dei dirottatori, condannandola di fatto al pagamento di miliardi di dollari di risarcimento. Ma per quanto riguarda l'Iran, la Commissione ufficiale sull'11 settembre non ha mai fornito prove, se non vaghe allusioni al transito di alcuni dirotattori per l'Iran mentre andavano in Afghanistan, tuttavia mai comprovato dai timbri nei passaporti. Ma in tempi di condanne senza prove, e' il messaggio simbolico che conta. E il messaggio, subito dopo lo show di Benjamin Nethanyahu sull'arsenale nucleare dell'Iran, e' arrivato con un tempismo straordinario.2. In Ucraina è vietato l'accesso ai dissenzientiIl regime ucraino ha bloccato l'ingresso nel Paese di tre giornalisti stranieri, un italiano, un russo e un ceco. Tutti diretti a Odessa per il quarto anniversario del rogo nella Casa dei Sindacati, avvenuto il 2 maggio del 2014, quando decine di persone furono arse vive dai nazionalisti ucraini per essersi opposte al golpe. Le guardie di frontiera hanno motivato il rimpatrio dei giornalisti accusandoli di coprire gli eventi in Ucraina in modo poco attendibile. Intanto, mentre i cittadini di Odessa portavano fiori sul luogo della tragedia, le organizzazioni nazionaliste Svoboda, Nacionalnyj Korpus e Pravyj Sektor hanno marciato nelle strade della citta', celebrando quella che hanno definito una “dimostrazione di forza ucraina” contro i “terroristi filorussi”. Sullo sfondo, l'operazione antiterrorismo del regime ucraino nel Donbass ha lasciato il posto all'operazione delle Forze unificate. Che gli americani, fa sapere il Dipartimento di Stato, hanno gia' dotato di missili anticarro Javelin. Con buona pace degli Accordi di Minsk, della cui inattuazione, pero', viene accusata la Russia.3. Corea: processo di pace fra le contraddizioni Le truppe USA rimarranno in Corea del Sud, nonostante i colloqui di pace in corso. Lo ha ribadito il portavoce del presidente sudcoreano Moon Jae-in ieri, mercoledi' 2 maggio. Una risposta nervosa alle esternazioni del consulente del presidente, per cui "sarebbe difficile a questo punto giustificare la loro presenza nella penisola". Ma Moon Jae-in chiarisce che "e' bene non creare ulteriore confusione", ricordando che Kim Jon-un ha ritirato la richiesta di rimozione delle truppe USA come pre-condizione degli accordi. Pechino, intanto, lancia chiari messaggi per cui non intende essere marginalizzata dai colloqui. L'editoriale di ieri del Global Times titolava: "Il ruolo della Cina sara' indispensabile per la denuclearizzazione della penisola". A sottolinearlo, il Ministro degli Esteri cinese, Wang Yi, ed il suo cancelliere si sono recati a Pyongyang ieri, per restaurare i rapporti bilaterali fra i due Paesi. Nel frattempo, il processo di pace continua: allestita una linea telefonica diretta fra i leaders delle due Coree ed una commissione speciale sudcoreana volta ad implementare i risultati dello storico incontro di venerdi', mentre Trump ha annunciato stamane il rilascio imminente di 3 ostaggi americani da parte di Pyongyang. Un segnale volto a prepare la strada all'incontro fra il presidente americano e Kim Jong-un.4. La guerra tra Nato e Russia si combatte in EuropaLe manovre NATO “Siil-2018”, iniziate ieri, mercoledi' 2 maggio, nel Sud-Est dell'Estonia e nella Lettonia settentrionale, ovvero lungo i confini con la Russia, sono le più grandi esercitazioni militari della storia estone. Termineranno il 13 maggio e coinvolgeranno oltre 15mila soldati, compresi riservisti e membri del gruppo paramilitare estone "Kaiseliit". Ulteriori 2 mila soldati sono arrivati da 10 Paesi della NATO, tra cui Stati Uniti, Regno Unito e Germania, ma anche da Stati che non appartengono all'Alleanza: Ucraina, Georgia, Svezia, Finlandia e Irlanda. Lo scenario prevede che le truppe coinvolte respingano l'attacco di “Murinius”, uno Stato inventato, ostile alla cultura e alla democrazia occidentali e il cui territorio, guarda caso, corrisponde a quello della Russia. Mentre nell'alleato di Murinius, “Griseus”, si puo' facilmente riconoscere la Bielorussia. Secondo il senatore russo, Alexey Pushkov, oggi, nel mondo, esistono due possibili punti di scontro tra Russia e Stati Uniti: la Siria e il Baltico. 5. Riga agli abitanti russofoni: “Valigia, stazione, Russia” Martedi' 1 maggio, a Riga, diecimila manifestanti sono scesi in piazza per protestare contro la riforma dell'istruzione, che prevede, entro il 2021, il passaggio all'insegnamento in lingua lettone in tutte le scuole del Paese, comprese quelle russe. “Chi e' contrario puo' tranquillamente tornarsene in Russia!”, ha replicato su Twitter il segretario del ministero della Giustizia, Jānis Iesalnieks, con tanto di illustrazione della Madre Patria che chiama. Dimenticando, pero', che in Lettonia, secondo il censimento del 2011, almeno il 30% degli abitanti e' russofono. Mentre a Riga e a Daugavpils, le due maggiori citta' del Paese, la percentuale supera il 50%. Intanto, il leader del movimento in difesa delle scuole russe, Aleksandr Gaponenko, un professore di 64 anni, e' in prigione dal 20 aprile, accusato di una non meglio precisata attivita' “contro l'integrita' dello Stato”.
