![]() ![]() ![]() When you first look at the Powermatic movement, you might be tricked into thinking it is just a reworked ETA 2824-2, with some improvements. The Powermatic wasn’t only an evolution of the 2824-2, it was created to make its predecessor, with its patent expiring, obsolete. Now, that tells us quite a lot about the importance of this movement. Exactly the time that the company was starting to see the first legal problems from Nicholas Hayek’s 2002 declaration to cease supplying ébauches to companies outside the group. Knowing that the movement was first introduced in 2011, and the target was to ensure an industrial process – which means that an adapted infrastructure had to be built up before starting even with small series – it must have been around 2005-2006. So we can only make an educated guess here. When exactly Swatch Group took the decision to take the big step to thoroughly improve its powerhouse is not exactly known, as Swatch Group does not communicate about development work. The initial request came from different brands in the mid-price segment of Swatch Group (Tissot, Certina, Mido and Hamilton) and ETA was set to lead the development. And that made it a very high priority for Swatch Group to come up with a better and even more efficient movement. But the most problematic of all: the patent of the movement was expiring. The movement is also so common that it is hard to differentiate Swatch Group brands from other competitors in the market. Its power reserve, for example, is not impressive (38 hours). Despite its success, the 2824-2 does have some shortcomings. Still, ETA and Swatch Group, in general, felt the need to improve their product in order to keep ahead of the competition. It has set the bar of what a basic mechanical movement should be. It is reliable, robust, accurate and quite cheap to produce in mass. The ETA 2824-2 movement is the stronghold of the company, the best-known and most widely used mechanical movement of all. ![]() The position of ETA is so strong it had to ( and still has to) fight legal battles against misusing its monopoly position. Eterna is currently in a very unfortunate position and struggling to stay alive, while ETA is the thriving movement production powerhouse of Swatch Group. But the fate of both companies couldn’t be more different. Still, ties remained strong and in a way, the biggest workhorse in watchmaking history, the ETA 2824-2, was their love child.īoth ETA and Eterna were never the artisans they’ve always been the industrial engineers. ETA was set up in 1856 as a separate movement-production branch from Eterna and the two companies were forced to split in 1932 by the Swiss government. Eterna, back then, was a world leader of automatic movements – its first use of ball bearings in the Eterna-Matic in 1948 really changed Swiss watchmaking forever. Its base was the ETA 2824-2, which itself was an evolution from the classic Eterna 1427 movement, that at the time of its introduction in 1955 was the world’s thinnest automatic movement. The Powermatic movement, or ETA calibre C07.111 as it is officially known, was introduced in 2011, but its roots go way deeper. ETA’s headquarter in Biel (Bienne), where Swatch Group produces most of its standard movements (mechanical and quartz) The predecessor – ETA 2824-2 But this time, we dive deeper into one of the workhorses that drive Swatch Group growth, the Powermatic movement. MONOCHROME is more about the high-end segment of the watchmaking industry the complicated movements, the perpetual calendars, the chiming watches, the exotic regulators, the independent watchmakers who create the most complex indications or tell the time in unusual ways. Entry-level, yes, but without being cheap. Have you ever wondered how Swatch Group brands like Tissot, Certina, Hamilton and Mido can make reliable, robust and accurate mechanical watches of good quality at very reasonable prices? Take a look inside the cases and you’ll see the answer ticking there: the movement that seriously raises the bar for the entire industry. ![]()

![]() ![]() A group called Parents for Middle School Equity, based in Brooklyn’s District 15 (which includes Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Red Hook, and part of Sunset Park), appears to be ideologically opposed to PLACE. PLACE wasn’t alone in endorsing candidates. Several candidates endorsed by the group backed away from that support during the election season. Some education advocates have grown concerned about PLACE’s influence, pointing to the views of some of their members, including comparing critical race theory, an academic framework about systemic racism, to Nazi ideology, as reported by THE CITY. The organization had Banks’ ear at the very start of his tenure, appearing on his schedule last March. Some of PLACE’s ideas have found favor with schools Chancellor David Banks, such as expanding gifted and talented seats. With her victory Friday, Maron will again sit on a CEC that represents one of the most affluent swaths of Manhattan. ![]() CEC 2 winner Maud Maron, who co-founded PLACE and was previously on the District 2 parent council, told THE CITY, “Land acknowledgements don’t teach anybody more math,” referring to lessons about Indigenous people who inhabited land before European colonialism. To many watching races across the city, this year’s elections seemed more divisive than ever, with some candidates localizing culture wars playing out across the nation. This was the second CEC election where voting was open to parents citywide. There are also citywide councils for high school students, English learners, students with disabilities, and those enrolled in the city’s District 75 programs, which serve children with the most challenging disabilities. The 32 councils, which each have 10 elected members and two appointed by the local borough president, hold monthly public meetings. The Community Education Councils, or CECs, have the power to approve or reject school rezoning plans, pass resolutions about various school-related issues, and work with district superintendents. The group generally opposes lottery-based admissions and paring back screened admissions to the city’s middle and high schools. That includes keeping the Specialized High School Admissions Test, or SHSAT, and expanding gifted and talented programs. The group’s preferred candidates will make up nearly 40% of the Community Education Council members across the five boroughs, according to a Chalkbeat analysis.Įstablished in 2019, PLACE supports the status quo when it comes to academic screening policies that have resulted in one of the nation’s most segregated school systems. ![]() Parent Leaders for Accelerated Curriculum and Education, or PLACE, endorsed 147 candidates across the city for local district council seats, with 115 of them winning their races.

As Spencer Torkelson put it in April 2022 - back before we really understood how occasionally lousy the Tigers' bats could get - "You look on the board, and (his fastball is) only 92-93 (mph), not overwhelming," Torkelson told reporters.

Avatar admits that he has not practiced magic for some time, but offers to show Blackwolf a trick that their mother taught him Avatar then pulls a pistol from his sleeve and shoots Blackwolf dead. Blackwolf declares his magic superior to Avatar's and demands his surrender. Weehawk nearly kills Elinore, but she explains that Blackwolf had taken control of her mind after she touched Peace. The pair split up, Weehawk tracking Elinore while Avatar goes after Blackwolf. The next day, Avatar and Weehawk enter Scortch by ship and make for Blackwolf's castle, while the General leads his elf warriors in a bloody battle to distract Blackwolf's forces. ![]() When one of Blackwolf's battle tanks arrives to destroy the camp, Elinore unexpectedly kills Peace and climbs into the tank as it drives off.

Instead of executing them, he merely teleports Avatar and Elinore to a snowy mountaintop. Wounded in the shoulder, Avatar refuses to fight back, which impresses the fairy king. Avatar attempts to explain that they did not kill Sean, but the fairies do not believe him and shoot him with an arrow. Avatar locates her, captured by fairies and small human-like creatures, just as she is about to be killed. Avatar and Weehawk begin to search for Elinore in the forbidden Fairy Sanctuary, but Weehawk falls into a chasm and insists that Avatar leave him and find the girl.

Avatar, Elinore, Peace, and the elf warrior Weehawk set out to destroy the projector and save the world from another Holocaust. Avatar learns from the robot that the "dream machine" – the projector – is Blackwolf's secret weapon. Avatar subdues the robot and reconditions it for nonviolence, changing its name to Peace "in the hopes that he will bring it". Suddenly, the president is assassinated by Necron 99, a robot sent by Blackwolf to kill all believers in magic. Meanwhile, in Montagar, Avatar trains the president's daughter, Elinore, to become a full-fledged fairy. Blackwolf then discovers an old projector and reels of Nazi propaganda footage from World War II, using his magic to enhance it for psychological warfare: inspiring his own soldiers while horrifying enemy troops into submission. He tries to attack Montagar twice, but is foiled when his mutant warriors become bored or sidetracked in the midst of battle. Three thousand years later, Blackwolf leads the dark land of Scortch, where he and his army of mutants and other evil creatures ( orcs, goblins, trolls, satyrs, dragons, etc.), salvage and restore ancient technology. Blackwolf leaves Montagar, vowing to return and "make this a planet where mutants rule".
