Wear Part of Bletchley Park on Your Wrist |
 By
the time you read this it will probably be too late to be an original
owner of this very limited edition 'Codebreaker'
watch, made by the prestigious UK Bremont Watch Company. Each Codebreaker
watch will incorporate a piece of pine wood from the iconic Hut 6 and
numbers from some rare, original punch cards used in wartime machines
that carried out rapid analysis of encrypted message systems
to assist the Codebreakers. Each watch will also have incorporated into
its rotor, material from an original Enigma machine
 rotor.
Speaking of
Bletchley Park news, the WWII era
Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator
(Edsac) restoration project recently reached
a key milestone. Edsac is built of 3,000 valves
(vacuum tubes) spread across 140 separate
shelves.
