Horological Meandering

And to commemorate that year 1953, Omega planned to bring out Tintin edition in 2013. And that's our now famous Tintin watch without approval from the Herge Foundation. That's another story. [nt]

The truth

Excellent! Finally, the truth has been revealed. The first men on the moon were from Belgium. :) [nt]

And maybe the dog was the first? [nt]

 
 By: amanico : July 23rd, 2019-03:43

In fact, the original quote was "A small step for a puppy, one giant leap for dogkind", but then as usual we took advantage of the situation... [nt]

I beg to differ!

He first men to make ito e moon were French Haven’t you read Jules Verne? (At least in orbit) Cheers (But we do not know what kind of watch they were wearing)

That's true, but I preferred to read that from a non French gentleman. :))) [nt]

 
 By: amanico : July 23rd, 2019-09:46

But there is no proof of it, no pic [nt]

 
 By: brauner : July 23rd, 2019-09:46

Well, you know, pictures, you can make tell them what you want... :) [nt]

 
 By: amanico : July 23rd, 2019-09:47

There is...

 
 By: FlyingSnoopy : July 23rd, 2019-12:20
no picture of Santa Claus but he exists!

+1! [nt]

A clever comment by Herge. The moon landing was, after all, as much a flight of fancy as a comic strip cartoon. [nt]

 
 By: kjkt3 : July 23rd, 2019-03:41

LOL ! [nt]

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : July 23rd, 2019-04:16

Love this 😜 [nt]

 
 By: Bounce781 : July 23rd, 2019-06:23

Let us see how they do this 50yrs hence - Will open up a can of worms IMO. [nt]

 
 By: redcorals : July 23rd, 2019-06:39

When you have read Tintin and then watched Armstrong and Aldrin landing, i can't see how people can think this never happened and was conspiracy theory! :) Best, É. [nt]

 
 By: eklektik : July 23rd, 2019-07:11

Well at a certain time, there are people who thought that Copernicus was wrong, and the " toasted " him for having said that Earth was round. ;) [nt]

Does anybody know what watch was Tintin wearing?

 
 By: Prodyutb : July 23rd, 2019-07:54
Moonwatch ??

Tintin is a classy man, so even on the moon, he was clearly wearing a Reverso, indicating Brussels time! ;) Best, É. [nt]

 
 By: eklektik : July 23rd, 2019-12:33

I didn't dare saying it. :))) [nt]

 
 By: amanico : July 23rd, 2019-14:26

Found the original rocket of the first moon flight in my livingroom

 
 By: brauner : July 23rd, 2019-09:27
You can send all your moonwatches to me and I will return a nice pic of your watch with the original rocket (and keep the watches) 🚀😁🚀 ...  

Now that's a plan! ;) [nt]

 
 By: amanico : July 23rd, 2019-09:34

If you support the plan we can share [nt]

 
 By: brauner : July 23rd, 2019-09:37

Yes, send me the rocket, I will try to find the Speedies, as I have none. :) [nt]

And when we have plucked the geese

 
 By: brauner : July 23rd, 2019-09:45

LOL!!! [nt]

 
 By: amanico : July 23rd, 2019-09:47

So, you don't believe Neil and Buzz were there . . .

 
 By: Dr No : July 23rd, 2019-12:58
. . . first? Knuckle sandwich, anyone? And yes, the conspiracy theorist took Buzz to court for assault. The judge threw the case out.

Too good! [nt]

 
 By: amanico : July 23rd, 2019-14:26

I absolutely love this post!!!!

 
 By: ChristianDK : July 23rd, 2019-15:03
Huge Tintin fan calling in. At the moment I am reading all the albums chronologically to my 5 year old.

You have them all? [nt]

 
 By: amanico : July 23rd, 2019-15:17

Absolutely 😊

 
 By: ChristianDK : July 23rd, 2019-22:27
Since I was a boy. I still read them occasionally. It is my obligation as a good parent to teach the kids Tintinology. Of course the younger one has to wait a couple of years, although he watches the cartoons.

Excellent. Well done, my friend. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : July 23rd, 2019-23:49

Can anyone pinpoint when Tintin landed on the moon?

 
 By: TheMadDruid : July 24th, 2019-07:31
We know Alice Kramden was there in the Fall of 1955.

1950s i guess as magazine series...published as book in 1953. [nt]
