SOMETIME

Sometime is about time, actually it isn't, well, not obviously so, which is why it's called Sometime, because it relates to time, some of the time. It will fight against being pigeon-holed, but if pressed, it is about my life in watches which is science, technology, engineering, design, manufacture, business, family, health and other people. It is one of those quiet places with a glass of something proper type things. Told as stories that last no longer than 20 mins in a slowed down, reflecting vibe which is in stark contrast to my generally maniacal working day. I need this, maybe you do too.

Story No.1 Calibre Encabulator

We begin with the full Turbo Encabulator followed by my own Calibre Encabulator and then even more silly nonsense circa 2013. A whole 15 mins of jargonny-technobabble. Where the Turbo Encabulator uses mostly made up words, the Calibre Encabulator does not. Every word is real, some archaic admittedly, but most are technical and relate to watch movements and the history of time keeping. I wonder if any listeners can untangle it to make sense before I do another story explaining it :-)

Overall it is a little dig at over-zealous PR and those that believe being pretentious has true value, those that believe obscuring the truth with verbiage is clever. I've seen it and I don't like it.
