After being on a revision marathon all summer, Susanna Leonard Hill's 11th annual Halloweensie contest was just what I needed to spark some creativity and write something new. I hope you enjoy my entry, loosely inspired by my 4-year-olds bathroom antics.
THE HALLOWEEN POTTY
By Andrew Hacket
100 Words
Halloween night.
Goosebumps bristle
as monsters arrive, goodies in hand.
Time to party.
“Too little,” they say. I’m ushered away.
I stand in my lavatory, laboratory.
My cauldron, shiny white.
A trick up my sleeve.
Time to mix.
Time to make.
Conjure.
Create.
But footsteps on stairs means hurry,
move quick. Too rushed to measure, I toss it all in.
With a flush of excitement, I give it a whirl.
The cauldron strains,
gurgles, groans,
about to explode.
My family bursts in
as the toilet erupts.
They’re now dripping in slime
that glows-in-the-dark.
After having spent some time with both versions of the Chronomaster Sport, I came away feeling link this is a serious piece of watchmaking – and certainly a great value on its technical merits. And if you're interested in the history of the chronograph as a complication, it's a genuinely fascinating watch. The caliber 3600 link really breaks new link ground and gives serious gearheads some real food for thought – and a compelling new option in the world of in-house mechanical chronographs.
I saw the news hit my inbox on the 30th but waited – as patiently as I link could – for my appointment with the brand so I could see the whole range in person and take some photos. While link I'll admit I had my doubts as to how well white could work link for all of these models, I'm pleased to say that it works beautifully. This is especially so for the 300 Carbon, which is unique in the range as they've fitted it with an amazing fully luminous dial.
As a reference that spanned some 18 years link (nearly as long as the 1675), we see quite a link few variations in the 16710. Until 1997, these watches featured Tritium dials marked T<25, LumiNova from about 1998 to 1999, and then Super-LumiNova from 2000 to 2007. In 2000, the bracelets that came with the 16710 received solid end links, and in 2003, link the case was modified slightly to eliminate the exterior holes on the sides of the lugs.
Andrew, This is so creative, and your ending really brings a great visual any illustrator would love! @WriteAway48 - Cathy Lee
