- [The Way of the Breadcrumbs](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2024/10/14/the-way-of-the-breadcrumbs/) - A brief review of the film C’è ancora domani (2023) If there's any film you should not read any review of prior to seeing, it is the first directorship by actress Paola Cortellesi C’è ancora domani (There is still tomorrow). It was a box-office success in Italy in 2023, beating even Barbie, which, we note,
- [Scamerica the Bountiful](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2024/06/19/the-toxic-relationship-between-trump-and-the-evangelicals/) - The Republicans could (should) have dropped him then, lost the election, but cleaned up their act, which they should have done after the Palin disaster. However, they would have lost that key evangelical vote to a new Trump Party. The GOP could (should) have dropped him then, lost the election, but cleaned up their act, which they should have done after the Palin disaster. However, they would have lost that key evangelical vote to a new Trump Party.
- [Memories from another world](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2009/11/22/memories-from-another-world/) - Part I: East Germany (The Iron Curtain held the world hostage on both sides of the infamous border for decades. For the Germans, the hostage situation was a little different because entire families were divided -- as are Korean families, I understand. Many Westerners also experienced the East Bloc and were horrified or fascinated or
- [The Collapse](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2019/11/03/the-collapse/) - Ma The sudden collapse of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 followed by the entire Iron Curtain came as no real surprise to me, and I was not alone.
- [Defeated Donald](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2020/11/28/a-cry-from-the-heart/) - It's time to come back to reality. Fear and loathing and ridiculous conspiracy theories that have no evidence to back them up are not how we'll meet the challenges facing our democratic societies. These will only lead to (more) dissension, illness, death and ultimately war, which, depressingly enough, is one of the most logical reality
- [Parallel Worlds (Part 3): The Followers and the Fighters](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2020/08/17/parallel-worlds-part-3-the-followers-and-the-fighters/) - This is the last section on conspiracy theories (for the moment). It is written to bear witness to what I see as a genuine poison in discussions these days about matters political and social. More and more people dear to me are falling for these patently false narratives created to enhance the “owner.” And
- [The Revolution is Permanent Noise](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2018/01/27/the-revolution-is-permanent-noise/) - To call Donald Trump a racist, or a bigot, a misogynist, is not an insult. It's a ticket to the maelstrom of drama he likes to create. My notes on this aspect of Trumpism go back to spring '16. The noise since has been constant and deafening. When I started the actual writing of this
- [Lessons at Midnight](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2024/10/05/lessons-at-midnight/) - In the first chapter of his Essai sur les données immédiates de la conscience, Henri Bergson (1856-1941) wrote: « If gracefulness prefers curves to broken lines, it's because a curved line changes direction at any moment, but each new direction was indicated in the one that preceded it. The perception of ease of movement is therefore mixed
- [Christmas](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2019/12/27/1593/) - Merry Christmas from Geneva(where it was forbidden for two centuries…) First and foremost: A Merry Christmas. To my friends and acquaintances and kind clients: The year has been so dense with work, especially these past four months, I was unable to write cards and letters using my growing collection of fountain pens. Perhaps to the Jesus armed with an AR-15, killing infidels, hating health care, and loving Capitalists, bigots, misogynists, racists and predatory billionaires is a far sight from the Prince of Peace generally touted in Christmas songs piped into supermarkets and other consumer venues.
- [In the Vortic: Two American Tales in One](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2020/07/17/in-the-vortic-two-american-tales-in-one/) - In 2015, thanks to the Baselworld jungle drum, I landed an appointment with a man named R. T. Custer. It’s his name, by the way, and he insists on the initials – his parents’ choice?-- because he’s from an advertising background, and dammitall, that name sticks. We met at the Ramada, as it was
- [An island of memory](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2024/05/20/an-early-job/) - Memory from a childhood in Paris and my first "job," which allowed me to invite my parents to recitals. An old photograph by my father brings up memories of a childhood with music.
- [Parallel Worlds (part 2): The Makers and Shakers](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2020/08/14/parallel-worlds-part-2-the-makers-and-shakers/) - My last post was a general explanation about why I feel it's important to expose conspiracy theories (hereafter CT) for what they are: in short, dangerous bullshit (cf. Harry Frankfurt On Bullshit). Dangerous because they get people confused and they very often lead to violence. Here I explore what CT is, and what is the
- [Vortic's Five-Year Vortex](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2020/09/15/when-the-davids-win/) - I'm waiting for Hollywood to pick up this story: For the past years, R. T. Custer (no one knows his real name except his parents, I think) has been battling Swatch Group. Some reporters in the watch biz have been watching the story with some trepidation, but few have been vocal for reasons that need
- [An Adventure for the wrist](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2018/07/06/1126/) - Watches can be a major investment. So naturally, many collectors, especially of more recent vintage (and notably in emerging watch markets) prefer to play it safe and buy a big-name timepiece. These are more often than not excellent, solid, well-conceived watches … but they tend to overshadow some eyebrow-raising watxches with less PR power, ones
- [Trump, wurst and salami](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2018/02/12/trump-wurst-and-salami/) - Not all iniquitous systems are the same. Those who equate Trump with Hitler are failing to see the real problem: His administration is following a playbook that resembles the Hungarian Communists' take-over of Hungary 1945-1949
- [Easter Meditation](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2021/04/10/easter-meditation/) - Easter doesn't end with the egg-search on Sunday. It goes on for at least another week, and so it should, otherwise, why bother? Here some stuff that has been going through my mind for several years. Now it's on "paper," I can let go a bit. Have fun and tell me what you think. It’s
- [Snapshot: my mother at work](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2019/05/19/snapshot-my-mother-at-work/) - My mother, Karen Radkai, was a remarkable photographer and an edgy personality.
- [Story of the Red Bear](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2023/01/13/story-of-a-red-bear/) - But miracles happen when we love. And so, one day I was happy to report that Rotbär had finally phoned me. From England, of all places. It came as a surprise, of course and raised hopes I could not dash.
- [The Geneva run](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2014/12/11/466/) - L’Escalade: the run of your life In a confederate system as diverse as Switzerland, it is hardly surprising to find that Cantons and cities occasionally engage in very local celebrations that no one else has ever heard of. There is the Chalandamarz and the Pschuuri in the Grisons, or the Bloch at Mardi Gras in
- [Numbers Game](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2020/04/13/numbers-game/) - The trick to enhance positives and mitigate negatives Just a few weeks ago, after days and days of strenuous deflection, gesticulation, self-victimization, media-aided campaigning and incoherent bilge about the pending coronavirus assault, Donald J. Trump suddenly talked of the number of deaths. It was a stunning reversal. Suddenly, after promising that we would soon dodge
- [Nutty like Fox ( or Trump  wurst, salami revisited)](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2018/04/16/nutty-like-fox-or-trump-wurst-salami-revisited/) - Laura Ingraham invoked Stalin to attack David Hogg for launching a boycott of her show. It was truly a Goliath versus David moment, i.e., Laura with the power of Fox News and the entire right-wing noise machine, including the president and his surrogates, versus a very real, Internet-savvy, articulate high-school kid named … David. Hollywood's
- [Black and White Issue](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2020/06/16/black-and-white-issue/) - Rubric: Racism is not just a knee on a neck.... It's bigger than that, and it's deeper. In the wee hours of June 12, as every morning, I clicked on PBS Newshour and listened to the news while sorting through emails and preparing for the day ahead. The excellent Paul Solman (his "Making Sen$e" rubric
- [Parallel Worlds (Part 1)](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2020/08/11/parallel-worlds-part-1/) - The following is the tip of an iceberg that I have been writing and gathering information on for ages it would seem. I’ve cut the story in three parts (Part 2 and Part 3 plus a note on masks). No one has time anymore to read, alas, which is one of the problems causing
- [Watch out, be sure!](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2019/08/02/watch-out-be-sure/) - Watch lovers, collectors, repairmen and -women all face a core issue: How to determine whether a watch is running on time and whether it might need fixing. Here's the situation any watch fan might face: You're at a flea market, a real one with regulars peddling what they found in the attic, and you
- [Back out ...](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2020/05/11/back-out/) - A word from the front lines Every day since the “confinement” began, we, the confined, have come out in one way or another to applaud and thank those who have been out and about, facing the coronavirus mano a mano in hospitals, picking up the garbage, distributing the mail, delivering groceries, and watching over streets
- [Not so fast-ing](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2021/09/09/not-so-fast-ing/) - The city I live in, Geneva, has many strange aspects. In some ways it's a city like no other. It is very small, but likes to see itself as very big. Somewhat like that image of a little Pussycat looking at self in the mirror and seeing a lion with a great mane. It is
- [Thorny delight](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2017/12/09/thorny-delight/) - ... a trace of Calvinistic resistance to easy pleasures remains, and it is found on the festive tables amidst the smoked salmon, foix gras, oysters, calorie-laden bûches (the French pastry Yule log) and various wines. There you'll find a delicacy whose rewards are only revealed and delivered after a long and arduous journey.
- [Masks: Reason and Reactance](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2020/08/23/masks-reason-and-reactance/) - Are you getting tired of the circus around wearing masks? The demonstrations that some say had 500,000 people, others 20,000? The sick comparisons that say "mask = yellow star?"The professors and doctors coming on with smug faces and saying: "It was all wrong, it's just the flu, the dead are not dead"? Don't be tired.
- [Lockdown in the rear-view mirror](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2021/04/04/lockdown-in-the-rear-view-mirror/) - We’ve become used to economic crises, since they are endemic to our system. And some of us might remember the oil crises of the ‘70s (from which we learned very little) and the brown-outs and black-outs, and the rocketing fuel costs. But the past year delivered a crisis several generations of westerners simply haven’t experienced.
- [Singing in the sun](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2020/04/20/singing-in-the-sun/) - The view from outside When the announcement came through on March 13 that schools would be shut down for an indeterminate period, the kids were a little bit thrilled. At least the ones I teach were, and I hear others were too. Perhaps because it felt like a vacation, unexpected and welcome, since the end

- [Did RGB die in the nick of time?](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2020/09/27/did-rgb-die-in-the-nick-of-time/) - The coming confirmation hearing of Amy Coney Barrett is something of a double-edged sword for both parties. It’s being done at a time when the US, and even the planet, are exhausted by Trump's grand guignol show, the pandemic, collapsed economy, Mother Nature going ballistic, people running around with absurd conspiracy theories in their heads,
- [The world outside my window….](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2020/03/28/the-world-outside-my-window/) - Part one of my little contribution to the Corona Days. For years, the world seemed to have been turning faster and faster. Like some Death Metal ballad on steroids. Technology offering insane communication immediacy and destroying entire swathes of the economy, creating others all based on its own speed-mania, eating up our time, scrolling away
- [Vacation Interlude in Turkey](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2019/09/07/vacation-interlude-in-turkey/) - Freelancers and the self-employed seldom go on real vacations. Especially since the advent of instant and frenetic communication, which keeps us in line better than one of Calvin's egregious ordonnances. But…. … when I do choose to step out of the daily grind, it’s usually to go someplace where the electronic cookie monster is less
- [Success-iness is next to ugliness (long version)](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2018/04/03/success-iness-is-next-to-ugliness-long-version/) - AT SOME POINT, the Parkland shooting may be seen as the turning point in the struggle to end what can only be termed NRA blackmail of much of the country and its purchase of unquestioning political support from Congressmen and -women. A group of high-schoolers, with the energy and boldness of youth, and the organizational
- [Hype and nonsense: the Osama error](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2011/05/11/hype-and-nonsense-the-osama-error/) - MAY 25, 2011 11:14AM The death of Osama bin Laden, like his life, was a noisy affair. Throughout the world, the media finally had something really big to report, because after the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the meltdowns at Fukushima and the ongoing "Arab spring," now brought to us from Libya and Syria, consumers
- [SIHH 2018: a touch of madness](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2018/03/13/sihh-2018-a-touch-of-madness/) - Disclaimer: Those who know me also know I do not have the gift of termination. Sure, I could “keep it short,” after all, in my day I did write compact one-minute reports, and could still do that, but my editor is often out these days working on other assignments, so I get away with writing
- [Mueller and managing expectations](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2019/03/23/deflection-and-the-mueller-report/) - The Mueller Report is in… but is the real crime collusion, or has the president been using it as a rhetorical decoy to hide other crimes? There is a case to be made that the Trump administration, with GOP collusion, has been preying on the wishful thinking of those who loudly despise the president. From
- [Baselworld 2019:  peaks and peeks](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2019/04/21/baselworld-2019-peaks-and-peeks/) - Baselworld 2019 was quite exciting even without a slew of major brands, which stayed away this year.
- [Sailing Past](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2009/10/12/sailing-past/) - Sailing Past Life can be quite unpredictable. One minute, Robert Watt, 31, a world-class bagpiper from Northern Ireland,was at a festival in Switzerland entertaining the crowds. A few days later he was standing on the bow of a century-old sailing yacht a quarter-mile off the coast near Monaco playing Scotland the Brave into a grayish
- [Trump and salami tactics again](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2018/09/04/trump-and-salami-tactics-again/) - US news on this 4th of September, 2018, has all to do about justice. And how the current president of the USA apparently refuses to accept the plain fact that the judiciary must be independent. "He was consistent about this throughout the campaign," says political commentator Carrie Cordero (Georgetown U.), "and here we are two
- [The genius of Paul Gerber](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2018/06/30/the-genius-of-paul-gerber/) - You haven't heard this one yet: Four top experts, a micro-engineer, an industrial designer, an artist with a specialty in metalwork, and an accountant walk into a bar. And the barman says: "So, Herr Gerber, what can I serve you today?"… Add a really smart kid, but that would be getting ahead of my
- [Success-iness is next to ugliness (short version)](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2018/04/03/ugliness-is-close-to-success-iness/) - For those who do not like to read much, here’s a short version of a longer lucubration on the topic of online invective as it currently stands... : What drives an adult mother like Laura Ingraham to write ad hominem tweets against a 17-year-old expressing (articulately) his opinion? What drives an adult representative like Ted
- [De bello fatuo: synthetic wars](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2017/12/27/de-bello-fatuo-synthetic-wars/) - When New York Journal illustrator Frederick Remington contacted his boss, William Randolph Hearst, from Cuba in 1897, it was to inform him, that the insurrection against the Spanish colonial overlords was simply nothing to write home about. "You furnish the pictures," Hearst telegrammed back, famously, I should add, "I'll furnish the war." Hearst, who made
- [The other side of the dream](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2017/12/25/the-other-side-of-the-dream/) - Over the years I have avoided wading into politics too deeply. History, my favorite topic, is long and painstaking, but it is a patient art in many ways. Looking back on events gives some perspectives on the present, it tends to relativize things, and it also, ironically, takes time. Daily events may seem new and
- [Katzenjammer](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2017/12/28/katzenjammer/) - According to an article on Salon.com, Roy Moore still hasn't conceded the race and is angrily pumping his base for contributions. He has now raised another bogus issue: voter fraud, and is insisting on a recount. If this truly infantile behavior is worth noting, it's because what's happening in Alabama is similar to what is
- [SIHH 2016 (part 1): wild cards](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2016/02/01/sihh-2016-part-1-wild-cards/) - Tivoli Soldat Dos The 26th edition of the SIHH closed its doors recently and so it is time to take a look back over four plus days of watch-watching, of receiving the skinny on the latest models from the brands, and of sharing ideas, views and some minor scoops with colleagues in the hallowed halls
- [Switzerland’s referendum: the spoils](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2014/02/11/switzerlands-referendum-the-spoils/) - And now, with the negotiating table full of shards and loud words, some elasticity may be showing on the part of the Europeans. Richard Jones suggested in the above-mentioned interview: “The ball is in the Swiss court. … The relationship is important for both of us. No one is ready to cut ties, but we must find a viable path.”
- [Angels in Geneva](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2017/03/08/angels-in-geneva/) - This story is entirely true because I imagined it from beginning to end. Boris Vian (1920–1959) Preamble to L’écume des jours (Froth On The Days) We all seek a measure of security in a connected, networked world, where corporate identity ensures global monoculturalism at all levels and offers the comfort of familiar space. We can
- [Do donkeys fly? In your dreams](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2015/08/18/do-donkeys-fly-in-your-dreams/) - A brief review and shout-out to a film never seen before, because its world première was given the day after the official closing of the great Locarno Film Festival, which is held every summer on the Piazza Grande of this traditional hub of Swiss tourism. Asino Vola (Fly, Donkey) was screened on the Sunday
- [Man of the People - Nicolas Hayek](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2010/07/01/man-of-the-people-nicolas-hayek/) - Nicolas Hayek died the way he probably wanted to, enjoying his daily leisure time at his desk in Biel. He was a grand entrepreneur in a class of his own. If anything came close to the art of business, it was what he did, and like all great artists, whatever he did seemed easy. Of
- [This time at Baselworld (2011), part 1](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2011/04/19/this-time-at-baselworld/) - Zenith represents well the changes that have swept the Swiss watch industry over the past, say, 10 years, when people believed in the magic growth of money and the Madoff snake oil. How could something promoted with loud and ostentatious events and fetching absurd prices not be worth a lot of money?
- [Chicago Jiu-Jitsu: Obama's Olympic bid](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2009/10/09/chicago-jiu-jitsu-obamas-olympic-bid/) - The distinct sense of glee felt in some of the more vociferous conservative circles at Obama’s journey to Copenhagen to promote Chicago as an Olympic city must have come as a pleasant surprise to the president and his advisers. Just as a cat, once it has caught sight of a moving finger, will follow it
- [Baselworld 2010 Part 1: Return of the watch](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2010/04/01/187/) - Watch yourself! Baselworld 2010: a review Part 1 If we are to believe the chroniclers of the wealthy like Steve Forbes, what affects the world's haves, will also have an impact on the havenots. It's a bizarre thought based on some strange algorithm only Forbes might understand – it assumes that X not being
- [Fahrenheit 2009: Chinese Checkers](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2009/10/17/fahrenheit-2009-part-iii-guest-of-honor/) - Chinese checkers Digital content creation is not the only elephant being talked about at the Frankfurt Book Fair. The other was guest of honor China. But the conversation is lopsided. China has its own room near the entrance with a delightfully meditative installation, a pond nestled in white sand with the big logo of ideograms
- [Fahrenheit 2009 Part II: Digital Debate](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2009/10/17/fahrenheit-2009-part-ii-digital-debate/) - The Fair is business, but it is also a celebration of the convergence two creative impulses, that of the book printers and designers, and that of the authors themselves. A children’s book by a South Korean authoress catches my eye, a tale about a girl with a fox on her head. A simple tale,
- [Frankfurt Bookfair: Fahrenheit 2009](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2009/10/15/78/) - Strange quirk of fate. Bookish people are usually typed as barely noticeable, mousy folk, shrinking violets, wall flowers, and even worms. Yet they are eminently visible in Germany especially around the time of the Frankfurt Book Fair. On the train up to the city of banks, there were at least three in the compartment I
- [Fahrenheit 2009 and rising](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2009/10/26/fahrenheit-2009/) - Google and China: wrapping up the Frankfurt Book Fair 2009 Response to the three posts on the Frankfurt Book Fair was good. The digital debate was less a debate and more of a statement of claims. Digital reading got thumbs up for being less burdensome than lugging around lots of books and because it simply
- [About me](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2016/01/07/about-me/) - Some biographical information: I was born May 9, 1957, in New York City, parents both freelance photographers.

- [This time at Baselworld (2011), part 2](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2011/05/07/from-steam-to-punk/) - From steam to punk and thereabouts As time moves along, styles are becoming jumbled. The 1930s and Art-Deco have become something of a fixation, and for good reason (see below). Ingersoll is even gambling on a string of revived original Mickey Mouse watches mostly in quartz. And there are signs that the 70s and their
- [Baselworld 2010, Part 2](https://www.journos-blotter.com/2010/04/12/baselworld-2010-part-ii/) - Old time in a new bottle (Part 2-for Part 1, see older post below!) Some novelties at Baselworld 2010 and a winner Like every industry, the watch industry likes to speak of innovations. The definition of that word is really in the eye of the beholder.Some are business moves that could shift

As a reporter and journalist, I had done my fair share of reporting on technical-scientific things. As boy, I did like to tinker with steam engines, which is apparently de rigueur for anyone in the watch industry. And
