In the heart-pounding action film 'A Good Day to Die Hard' the #hamilton #Khaki X-Patrol #Chronograph #WATCH makes a bold statement.

Am I wearing a #chronograph because it's race weekend and CARS GO VROOM?!

Yes.

Yes I am.

#MechanicalWatch #F1

When you constantly revisit the past, you yoke yourself to it. You are driven by it, and the burden becomes heavier with each moment that passes.

True reality is timeless.

They let themselves get distracted by the whorls of information before them, progressing slowly through the archive. It wouldn't do to rouse suspicion by rushing.

"Don't feel obliged to share your memories at the Chronograph — regularly, or at all. It's a service, not a requirement." They hesitated briefly, then amended, "I... I do think it would make you feel better, though. To share what you felt. Maybe even leave it behind, in a way."

Was Tsili actually taking an egregious amount of time to let Kita know their thoughts on the new biscuit recipe, or was Kita just eager to hear from Tsili again? Kita sighed. Probably best to get back to the cultured butter. It was time to beat and drain it before it got too sour.

Tsili led Ollice out of the recovery area. They followed dolcilely, saying nothing, a placid look on their face.

Some treated the Chronograph as a way to shed and leave behind everything that had transpired since their last recording. A confession, of sorts, that allowed them to move forward unburdened by their past actions and experiences.

Superlative Time on Instagram: "#Lemania Double Pusher British Military #Chronograph ref 818 issued 1975. 250 pieces issued 1975 & 1976, to find a watch with its original syringe hands is hard. To find a set like this is super super rare….. 🙏🏼 Enjoy. -" https://www.instagram.com/p/CoP9YjQLM_E/

On February 4, 1749, English watchmaker Thomas Earnshaw was born. Earnshaw further simplified the process of marine chronometer production, making them available to the general public. He is also known for his improvements to the transit clock at the Royal Greenwich Observatory in London and his invention of a chronometer escapement and a form of bimetallic compensation balance.

#microPrompt from @crtaxon: "gamble"

When working with the older memories in the archive, attempting a restoration was always a gamble. Much better to prevent any damage or degradation. In all their time at the Chronograph, Brayan had never heard of a successful restoration. What choice did they have, though?

a #Chronograph snippet

All have a meaning that they wish to share
Whether they give or whether they partake
One final storyteller speaks with flair
A narrative of their greatest mistake

The story they shape with their words belies
The truth that smolders deep within their eyes

#microPrompt from @crtaxon : "assurance"

Deep assurance guides your moves
Knowing all that came before
Every good decision proves
Surety forevermore

Mem'ry genealogy:
What more could you want to see?

a #Chronograph rhyme snippet

#microPrompt from @crtaxon: "wash"

Once the donor had moved on to recovery, Matalas would review what had been created from the memory fibers. Sometimes it was spooled out thread, others a delicate lace. Frequently, the fibers were tightly and irregularly woven into a tiny tapestry of memory. Whatever she found, she gently disengaged it from the apparatus, and began the process of gently soaking, washing, and prepping the fiber for review and archival.

#microPrompt from @crtaxon: 'urgent'

The info panel chimed as an amber light pulsed urgently. The humidity controls in the vault were on the fritz again.

#microPrompt from @crtaxon: "sanctuary"

Tsili busied herself with ensuring every nook was well-stocked with soft cushions and heavy blankets, along with light refreshments and little games. Memory sharing took a heavy toll on some donors. The recovery area was a refuge — a sanctuary from recall and rumination. Alcoves varied in size to accommodate groups or provide privacy. It was Tsili's favorite place in the whole building.

a #Chronograph snippet

Together we support our people's aims
By letting this recall on our behalf
Our sharing goes by many varied names
The Mirror, Journal, or the Chronograph

We choose to use its gift to help restore
The truth locked in our pasts forevermore

#microPrompt from @crtaxon: peruse

Kita busied zemself with cleaning up the table nearest to zem, trying not to stare at the person perusing the pan of freshly baked rolls. Tsili came in regularly, and sometimes the two of them hung out socially (having an overlapping friend group), but lately Kita was finding zemself shy and bumbling any time Tsili was around.

a #Chronograph snippet

The holiday period is an expensive one. I felt so lucky when the jeweler said I could pay for my new watch in installments! 😀

I should have read the fine print though. 🤔
