HourTime Help Desk #1

Sat, 06 Mar 2010 10:16:04 -0500

Here is the official podcast version of the Help Desk show. Quality really won’t go up on these because of the way they’re recorded. Unfortunately it’s the only way we can take calls right now. Ariel and I are going to talk about how to run these shows in the future, however, her are a few questions we have for you specifically:

1. Should these be folded into the regular podcast feed or should they have their own show i.e. a separate iTunes feed for these shows?

2. Did you enjoy the concept? Was it helpful?

3. Should this last an hour? Heck, two?

4. When should we run the live shows? What time? What day of week?

Let us know what you think and we’ll keep rocking.

Our first collection photo - a Seiko, a Tommy Bahama, a Relic, and a JF. Lucas has a nice, strong starter collection here. He writes:

This is the bad ass collection. A Seiko, a Tommy Bahama, a Relic and JF?. The only one I purchased was the Seiko, and the others were peoples attempts to buy me cool watches. But, everyone has to start somewhere. Next, I want a Orange Monster, for my first automatic.

He apparently also collects Goldfish.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: We got the details a bit wrong for the lawsuit involving FP Journe and Jaquet Droz. You can attribute this to a poor comprehension of legal texts translated from French (won’t try that again). The actual details are simple. FP Journe sued Jaquet Droz for copying one of its watch designs. Jaquet Droz defended that it copied designs from a much older pocket watch. After 5 or so years of legal battle and at least one appeal, the court held in favor of the defendant Jaquet Droz twice. Finally holding that FP Journe pay Jaquet Droz damages for legal fees, as Jaquet Droz was the winner in the case. If these details still aren’t accurate - then no one but the French and Swiss courts are ever going to understand this case!
