Ben Laden, horloger suisse

[José]

Bon, pas le Ben Laden, mais un sien demi-frère :

First, Yeslam Bin Ladin, a pilot and Bin Laden’s half brother, says that he has not had any contact with Bin Laden in decades. He has lived in Geneva for more than 2 decades and has openly condemned the attacks. With that out of the way, let’s look at the watch…

Yeslam bin Ladin is launching a Swiss luxury watch called “Aviator” which will be the first watch ever that will allow pilots to calculate their airspeed just in case electronic instruments break down. Yeslam also has a luxury goods store that has been in operation for four years and sells perfume, handbags, and other luxury goods.

According to Yeslam, who lost his father in a plane crash, electronic breakdowns are not rare in plans. The watch will be able to tell the exact airspeed and also estimate the flight’s duration before takeoff. Yeslam’s aviator watch took 6 months to create. According to his website The Aviator Flying Tourbillon is:

“A TIME PIECE FOR AND BY PILOTS: Design and functionality are combined with reliability and accuracy in The Aviator. Both professional pilots and connoisseurs of refined watches alike, will appreciate the comfort of its usefulness and sporty appearance.

The ability to read True Air Speed, without complicated calculations, on the bezel of this time piece, combined with the delicate engravings and the ingenuity of its various mechanisms, give The Aviator an originality that leaves nothing to be desired even for the most demanding experts.”

The Aviator will cost between $9,472 for the steel version and $24,430 for the rose gold version. The white gold version will fall somewhere between the two prices.

Faut dire que lorsqu'on est le mouton noir d'une famille comme ça, ça pardonne pas hein!

Le 11/09 devait être une façon de dire "Les montres de mon grand frère ne marchent pas".

Ne parlons pas trop vite… Vous avez vu la gueule du mécanisme de la montre ? C'est assez inquiétant… on dirait une bombe !

"Yeslam bin Ladin is launching a Swiss luxury watch called “Aviator”"

Si ça, ça en dit pas long sur les intentions initiales… C'est bien ce que je disais, tous les mêmes !

C'est un tourbillon, une complication courante qui permet de limiter les effets de la gravité sur la montre.

6 mois pour réaliser une montre soi-disant révolutionnaire ça ne me parait pas enorme.

Outre le fait que cette montre soit illisible et vraiment moche, on sent vraiment la "comm bidon" pour essayer de vendre la montre. Le calcul de la vitesse, par exempe, n'importe quel tachymetre permet de le faire ça n'a rien de très impressionnant.
