... hatte ich vor vielen Jahren vielleicht schon mal gepostet.. bin aber zu faul zum suchen... und ein bisschen Hintergrund von Epson (der Hintergrund ist im Hintergrund, sprich am Ende der Bilder)
The portable Seiko Crystal Chronometer QC-951 was developed as a timer for the Tokyo Olympic Games. Because crystal is sensitive to temperature changes, Epson* used its precision processing technology to independently develop a temperature correction device (a thermo-variable condenser) tailored to the temperature characteristics of the crystal resonator. A small, low-power synchronous motor was also employed, realizing a drastic reduction in power consumption from the conventional 100 - 150 W to only 0.003 W. These new features enabled Epson to downsize the cabinet-sized quartz timer to one that was portable.
With its unprecedented low-power consumption - the QC-951 was capable of operating for one year on two size-D batteries - this high-precision quartz timer was used as the official timing device at sporting events such as the Tokyo Olympic Games as an official timing device. Subsequently commercialized models in this series were employed on bullet trains and on snow vehicles for Antarctic exploration. They were also used as clocks and timers on public transport. Moreover, this crystal chronometer had a big influence on the world's first quartz watch, the Seiko Quartz Astron 35SQ, which was developed later.
*Then known as Suwa Seikosha Co., Ltd. -

Irgentwie cool, geht's hier um Dinge die kurz vorm Zerfall stehen und trotzdem ihren Reiz haben?

...yepp, verlassene Fabriken, Gebäude, Bunker... beschäftigen mit der Geschichte der Orte und Bilder vom Verfall machen.. wobei heute leider oft der Vandalismus vor dem Verfall kommt...
