The Mechanical Issue
The newest issue of Lifetime, OMEGA’s lifestyle magazine, is dedicated to all things mechanical with, as you would expect, a special focus on mechanical watch movements.
Edition 6
In addition to texts about mechanical watches, there is an interview with George Daniels, the English watchmaker who invented the Co-Axial escapement which has played such an important role at OMEGA since the brand launched the first industrialized version of it in 1999. Any watch owner will be interested in an informative piece on how to care for their timepieces.
As usual, the magazine includes contributions from some of the finest international journalists and photographers and some readers may be surprised to discover how fascinating the mechanical world is.
It is a world, obviously, not limited to watches. One article in Lifetime looks back at the strange life of Charles Babbage, who created the first analogue computer... in 1837! Another compares the fantastical mechanical devices which have come to be associated with author Jules Verne and the ones which actually appeared in his fiction.
Included with each copy of this edition of Lifetime is a DVD containing two short films created by OMEGA to describe two of the brand’s most interesting innovations: the Co-Axial movements and Liquidmetal®. The exquisitely produced films reveal behind-the-scenes looks at some technologies which are the talk of the industry.
The Mechanical Edition of Lifetime is richly illustrated and the lively articles, on a wide range of subjects, will appeal to readers interested in how the mechanical world works and to anyone who is passionate about OMEGA.
