The Beauty of One Second

Thu, 1 Dec 2011

Yes, Skyrim has lately taken up quite the few hours… wait days? Already? Well, it’s been occupying some free time, but the rest has been overshadowed with work which thankfully is finally winding down some. So back to blog and many other neglected activities.

Appropriate thinking the more I figure it in regards to this video and its affiliated the beauty of a second challenge by luxury line Montblanc.

190 years ago, Nicolas Rieussec recorded time to an accuracy of a fifth second for the first time – the chronograph was born. To celebrate this unique invention, Montblanc is announcing the one-of-a-kind “The Beauty of a Second” short-film contest presented by the famous film director Wim Wenders.

The idea is to record just a single second of something and upload it. Simple. Awesome. And hey, Wim Wenders!
