PRIMETIME SUMMER 2023
Hello and welcome back on a pretty juicy edition of PRIMETIME Watchmaking in the news with business news, plenty of new timepieces, a bit of EPHJ summary with some interesting innovations seen there, a bit of Only Watch and much more.
You can always listen to it as a Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and now Tunein.
So in this edition, we are talking about the EPHJ, the professional trade show for the watchmaking, jewellery, medical and microtechnology industry and the super cool innovations of 2023. We touch upon the problem of the shortage of workforce, which looks like becoming an international problem. Among other topics are new nominations, a bit of pure business and sales figures, a couple of international events, and the shitstorm of the Omega case and its consequences for us all.
And since our last Primetime, we published a very important video where we explained in detail what we’ve been working on for a while, what is Horopedia, and why this project is so dear to our team. We have seen the new @mauricelacroixwatch Pontos S Diver watch, an honestly priced summer piece, we took you along the 75th anniversary of one of the greatest watchmakers of our generation, Mister Philippe Dufour, who by the way is the President of the HOROPEDIA Foundation. And we also presented the best innovations from the latest EPHJ edition, so go and check those videos.

The Screen Age. Chapter 12: Many Mansions (1956 and 1957)
A world is easy to imagine whose beasts surpass us in their desire to be human.
The Screen Age. Chapter 12: Many Mansions (1956 and 1957)
“Design for Dreaming” celebrates easy domestic life in the world of tomorrow. The navy goes interstellar on a Forbidden Planet.
Dreams of ascension dovetail with hopes of return in The Search for Bridey Murphy.
She Creature and The Undead take the strange tale of Bridey Murphy in primordial and paranormal directions. The American suburbs continue to be a mixed blessing.
The Screen Age: How Mystery Science Theater 3000 Taught Me to Stop Relaxing and Love Ward E uses the T.V. show Mystery Science Theater 3000 to recount the 20th century as chronology. Its principal conceit is to delve into the movies the show lampooned, one year after the other, alongside discussions of their historical context. This culminates in the millennial bacchanal that coincided with the show’s cancellation.
The overall theme connecting the book’s various historical vignettes is the change that’s come over the collective human psyche as society traverses the Screen Age, this transition from the text through the image to the interactive screen. Here I amplify and expand on the concerns of cultural critics like Marie Wynn, Neil Postman, and Mark Crispin Miller that the primacy of the image and the screen and corporate control of popular media have conspired to make modern life isolated and dysfunctional. But The Screen Age aspires to more than just polemic. The last few decades have been arguably the strangest, bleakest, and most wondrous in human history, and the movies of MST3k prove to be a quirky but fruitful way of organizing and recounting them.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Provence (, US: ; French: [pʁɔvɑ̃s]; Provençal: Provença in classical norm or Prouvènço in Mistralian norm, pronounced [pʀuˈvɛnsɔ]) is a geographical region and historical province of southeastern France, which extends from the left bank of the lower Rhône River to the west to the Italian border to the east, and is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the south. It largely corresponds with the modern administrative région of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, and includes the départements of Var, Bouches-du-Rhône, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and parts of Alpes-Maritimes and Vaucluse. The largest city of the region is Marseille.
The Romans made the region the first Roman province beyond the Alps and called it Provincia Romana, which evolved into the present name. Until 1481 it was ruled by the Counts of Provence from their capital in Aix-en-Provence, then became a province of the Kings of France. While it has been part of France for more than five hundred years, it still retains a distinct cultural and linguistic identity, particularly in the interior of the region.
