Cross Country Skiing

First of all; apologies for the long wait. Frankly, we’ve been busy. To make it up, we promise to have more material out before christmas.

As you may gather from the title, Cross Country Skiing is a season oriented tune, describing the pleasures and leisures of nordic winter. Notice the steady, rockin’ drumbeat – that’s the old Boss hitting it. Jørgen’s passionate vocals on the bridge were inspired by Peter Hammill, and the hasty synth run was yours truly pretending to be Roy Wood – the wizzard.

Cross country skiing in the morning sun,

all pretty boys having fun, fun, fun.

I used to look inside the mirror,

now the mirror looks at him.

Cross country skiing in the morning sun,

all pretty boys having fun, fun, fun.

I careth not from where thou cameth

bearing ski wax in thy hand,

sliding naked down the glacier,

it’s the laying of the land.

Cross country skiing in the morning sun,

all pretty boys having fun, fun, fun.

    We generate a structure of PBN sites!

    Benefits of our privately-owned blog network:

    WE DO everything so Google does not grasp THAT THIS IS A private blog network!!!

    1- We purchase domain names from various registrars

    Understanding COSC Validation and Its Importance in Horology
    COSC Accreditation and its Stringent Criteria
    COSC, or the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, is the authorized Switzerland testing agency that attests to the accuracy and precision of timepieces. COSC accreditation is a mark of superior craftsmanship and reliability in timekeeping. Not all timepiece brands seek COSC validation, such as Hublot, which instead sticks to its own strict standards with movements like the UNICO calibre, attaining equivalent accuracy.

    The Art of Precision Chronometry
    The core system of a mechanized watch involves the spring, which provides power as it unwinds. This system, however, can be vulnerable to external elements that may affect its precision. COSC-validated mechanisms undergo strict testing—over 15 days in various circumstances (five positions, 3 temperatures)—to ensure their durability and dependability. The tests evaluate:

    Average daily rate accuracy between -4 and +6 seconds.
    Mean variation, peak variation levels, and impacts of thermal variations.
    Why COSC Certification Matters
    For watch fans and collectors, a COSC-validated watch isn’t just a piece of tech but a testament to lasting excellence and accuracy. It represents a timepiece that:

    Offers excellent reliability and precision.
    Provides guarantee of quality across the entire construction of the watch.
    Is likely to maintain its worth more effectively, making it a smart choice.
    Well-known Timepiece Manufacturers
    Several renowned manufacturers prioritize COSC validation for their watches, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, provides collections like the Archive and Spirit, which showcase COSC-certified movements equipped with innovative materials like silicon balance suspensions to enhance durability and performance.

    Historical Background and the Development of Chronometers
    The notion of the timepiece dates back to the requirement for exact timekeeping for navigation at sea, highlighted by John Harrison’s work in the eighteenth century. Since the official foundation of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the accreditation has become a standard for judging the precision of high-end timepieces, sustaining a legacy of superiority in horology.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-validated timepiece is more than an visual selection; it’s a dedication to quality and accuracy. For those valuing precision above all, the COSC accreditation offers peace of mind, ensuring that each accredited timepiece will perform reliably under various circumstances. Whether for personal contentment or as an investment, COSC-certified watches distinguish themselves in the world of horology, bearing on a legacy of careful timekeeping.
