Will ‘Quantitive Easing’ work? You know its about the Bank of England ‘printing money’ to be released today in order to get liquidity flowing. Risky, as it has never been tried before in the UK. Its different to what happens in Zimbabwe as the UK government is offering to buy government bonds with this money as opposed to simply adding zero’s to bank accounts. Its similar to the Zimbabwean crisis as it is an admission to failing to kick start the economy in every other way.

Its times like these when the stability of tradition comforts-whether its the Old Boys’ tie or the Cuckoo Clock on the wall.

Good luck to us all!

Mystery and Imagination

The day my grandfather died the watch he gave me stopped the minute he exhaled his last breath. I was cycling to tennis practice; he was back home. It was one sad day in 1978 at 15:42.

Since then i have heard similar stories many a time. I heard dozens of them at our stand at expos around the world, and again this morning on BBC Radio 2.

How do we explain this fascinating phenomenon?

Have a look at the Boegli musical wristwatch playing 4Seasons.
