Roger is one of the few remaining horologists in Canberra. He and I have been friends for over 40 years. This is the last watch of mine he worked on. A Japanese Wittnauer 2000. Built in 1970 for the 1971 market and still going strong thanks to Roger.

55 years ago... Gemini VIII  Neil Armstrong and David Scott... March 16, 1966, astronauts Neil Armstrong and David Scott were the crew of Gemini VIII, the 12th American manned spaceflight mission. The mission conducted the first docking of two spacecraft in orbit; Gemini capsule and the Agena target vehicle but docking instability aborted the mission. Pictured on their way to the launchpad, David Scott wore a NASA-issued #08 Omega Speedmaster 105.003 at his left wrist while Armstrong had chosen to wear an extra wristwatch besides his NASA Omega Speedmaster chronograph. Note at Armstrong’s right forearm a Longines-Wittnauer Weems aviator watch with striking center minutes dial and white hours edge as worn by James “Jimmie” Mattern  (1905-1988), Armstrong’s childhood aviation hero.
