② I feel fear about how fast technology is changing. It’s overwhelming, unpredictable. However, I also respect the innovators, their drive and imagination. The shift is unstoppable anyway. And maybe, just like aviation, what scares us now will seem laughable in hindsight.

③ What makes Crash so compelling is that horology traditionally chases precision, yet this design embraces warped time and surreal stillness. I like that contradiction.

② That theory suggests time and space can bend and distort, just like the surreal shapes in Dalí’s painting. Some say it also reflects frozen time: past, present, and future suspended. A poetic stillness in the chaos.

This image took me tens of hours and tutorials over a week. Then I saw some AI has launched a feature that does a similar thing in seconds… I’m crying. Trying to remind myself there’s still something unique about what I do. Anyway, I’m opening my favourite wine and moving on🍷◡̈︎

④ No slow decline, just a full life, then a quiet exit. Naked mole-rats might help us get there. And honestly, this makes me believe that no-ageing might actually be possible in the future.

③ A Japanese researcher is studying around 100 ageing-resistance mechanisms found in naked mole-rats. If even a few can be applied to humans, it could change how we age. Living without chronic disease and dying peacefully is a goal often sought in Japanese culture.

② They don’t get cancer, even when exposed to carcinogens. Their bodies keep functioning like they’re young. Sounds close to immortality. A study showed they lack a type of inflammation that usually helps cancer grow. Damaged cells also die naturally without piling up. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Thanks, I use a Japanese keyboard, and it’s a normal way to put numbers in Japanese :) I’ve seen some keyboard extension apps for special symbols or fonts, but I don’t know the names.

③ Unlike Swiss guild-based watchmaking, Seiko built everything in-house - even materials like Spron for hairsprings - to accelerate research and production. Today, Seiko has museums and factories across Japan that you can visit. I’d be the perfect guide 😘

② This shift was key to Japan’s modernisation. To unify the country under a shared time standard, watches had to be distributed fast and affordably. Seiko was tasked with producing timepieces that were accessible to everyone. It was a national mission.
