Amazing value
Unbelievably good bargain, you even get a refill. The design is sturdy and practical, whatever use you choose to put it to. *****

The ‘other’ moonwatch
2 of 3 found this helpful Not the Omega Speedmaster Pro, which was NASA property, but a modern interpretation of a watch that was the personal property of an astronaut and used on the moon when the glass popped off his Omega rendering it inoperable. This one-off watch sold for $1.6million but this version is larger, with a UHF quartz movement giving smooth movement to the hands. Beautifully engineered, this watch has real presence on the wrist. This is the strap version – be aware that in the bracelet version the holes in the lugs are drilled closer to the case, so if you decide to switch to a strap it will be a tight, if not impossible, fit. The quality of the carbon-look strap is not great either, but that’s a minor quibble. You’ll need to be careful not to knock the sapphire crystal, which is totally exposed, and the lume could be better – but this watch is still iconic and well worrth the money, especially now prices are coming down from the $550 RRP. Buy one, or better still, two!

Taming the demon
When T.H. White takes delivery of a goshawk chick (eyas) he intends to train it in the old-fashioned way, keeping it awake for night after night until sleep-deprivation pacified it. It transpires that this technique is as wearying to the austringer (hawk keeper) as it is to the bird, and this is only the first stage in a long and often frustrating process. The book is as much about the journey of the reclusive, alcoholic author as it is about the raptor, and the style of prose leans heavily on classical mythology, mysticism and the relationship between man, his fellow men and the natural world. I first read this book 20-odd years ago and revisited it after a friend heard about it and wanted to see a copy. I leant him mine, but only after being kept up for two nights by this compelling true tale. Highly recommended.
