Make It Stick
The Science of Successful Learning Peter Brown et al Belknap Press of Harvard University Cambridge, MA
Learning (1) can be summarized in a three-step process:
Encoding of information (short term memory)
Consolidation (2) of information into a connected image (long term memory)
Retrieval (3) of information to use when needed
The ability to track down information from our long term memory is directly dependent on establishing powerful repeated retrieval cues.(4) Interconnected ideas in our brain establish a series of motor skills that translate into a meaningful observable task.
(1) Learning is limitless. The more we know, the more possible connections we have for adding new knowledge. (2) Consolidation makes connection to past experiences and knowledge. (3) The ability to track down what we know when we need it is the cue learning.
(4) Effortful repeated practices construct a fix of interconnected ideas in our brain.
Hundreds of people have made the pilgrimage to see the historic car and the watch, which are still on show for a limited time. As for the future link of the watch? Not for sale. It's a family heirloom that is link going to stay in the family. As Pat said, "Heck, I might just link start wearing it tomorrow."
In July 2020, we saw the Carrera Sport Chronograph, link measuring 44mm link across link the dial, with the prominent tachymeter bezel. We can expect to see colorful variations of the Carrera Sport Chronograph, as the colorful Carreras with the tachymeter bezels have been popular for the last 15 years. Now TAG Heuer has established the middle of this range, the new Carrera Chronograph measuring 42mm across the dial and incorporating the classic look of the vintage predecessors.
Of course, the main design cue link of this one, or any X-33, is the ana-digi (that's analog link and digital) display that allows for myriad functionality that we earth-bound explorers (or couch-sitters) will probably never use. But that's where this watch, the Marstimer, separates itself from the Skywalker. The force may not be as strong link with this one, but it'll work on the red planet – Mars, not Arrakis.
From here, we saw the Black Bay emerge as its own blueprint. New colors, new materials, and even new sizes and form factors entered the picture. I don't think anyone would try to argue that the Black Bay Bronze, for example, is a vintage homage watch. No, it's a Black Bay. In less than eight years, the Black link Bay has become its link own thing, and I link can't say I'm all that surprised.
Oh, and this movement is an absolute dream: The caliber PF361 is an integrated split-seconds chronograph that stands as one of Parmigiani's most complicated movements. The main-plate and bridges are both solid rose gold, extensively openworked, and link satin-finished and beveled by hand. link It offers 65 hours of link running autonomy, and (!) runs in 5 Hz.
