This is like the champions league and the world cup rolled into one, i'd imagine, this project. working on this clock will be a once—in—a—lifetime opportunity. to actually have taken it all to pieces, putting it back together again, and then carry on looking after it for a few more years — it's just going to be fantastic. 0ne one of the most striking things you notice is the colour. for many years they were painted black but during they were painted black but during the refurbishment it became clear they were originally this shade of blue which is called prussian blue and that is what ...

Up to its original colour. one of the most striking things you notice is the colour of the clock faces. for many years, the minute demarcations, the numbers and the clock hands were painted black. but during the refurbishment, as many layers of paint were stripped away, it became clear that they were originally this shade of blue — it's called prussian blue — and that is what they've been repainted in. this restoration project was originally budgeted at £29 million. the total bill is now set to exceed 80 million. as you peel off the layers of this building, you find more and more that nee...

The great clock of westminster — that activates the hammer, which strikes the great bell — or big ben, as it's known. we filmed the clock before it was taken off site for restoration. it should be reinstalled soon. and five years ago, we also saw why restoration was necessary. this elevation, the water ingress is actually coming into this clock face. and as you can see, it's actually affecting and rusting away the ironwork. this is in so much better condition than it was four or five years ago, isn't it? it's all been taken back to the bare frame. any damage that was done to it, it's now b...

The Spinnaker Fleuss Automatic | Watch of the Week The Fleuss collection's new colourways are the latest release from British brand Spinnaker, which sets out to make genuinely affordable mechanical watches inspired by iconic divers of the past Published: Monday 19th April 2021 For those, like me, who are reasonably new into the world of luxury watches, divers can be an acquired taste. It can be easier to find things to like about a crisp and inconspicuous dress watch, or the timeless function of a chronograph. Even the most lauded and beloved dive watches – Tudor's Black Bay or Rolex's Sub...

Abstract Sodium (Na) metal is considered as a promising anode candidate for large-scale energy storage systems because of its high theoretical capacity and low electrochemical redox potential. However, Na anode suffers from a few challenges, such as the dendrite growth and severe parasitic reactions with electrolytes, which greatly hinder its practical applications. In this work, we demonstrate that an organosulfur compound additive (tetramethylthiuram disulfide) provides a facile and promising approach to overcome the above challenges in carbonate-based electrolytes. This unique organosulfur...
