![]() It sports a very fluid animation, using a large variety of camera angles that sometimes distort the already stretched out-looking characters even further, and creator Peter Chung has a knack for producing memorable images. To make things even more disorienting the plots are isolated from one another, with no larger continuity between them. It’s a very trippy show, with stories involving lizards that produce memory-wiping drugs, a captured politician whose stomach has been turned into a portal to a romantic bedroom, and a couple of bird-human hybrids that people find irresistibly sexy. The brief glimpses we get of everyday life in Monica and Bregna show a choice between living completely free among ruins or being trapped in a gleaming city with a strong social safety net. He’s also a massive hypocrite, and privately uses Bregna’s resources to indulge his sexual fetishes (which often involve Aeon). Meanwhile Trevor wants to help as many people as possible, but to do it he exploits technology and biological anomalies to control his Breen subjects. She has her own agenda, dresses how she likes, and pursues her goals relentlessly, often directly hurting more people than directly she helps. She also gained a nemesis in Trevor Goodchild, the aspiring dictator of the technologically advanced republic of Bregna, and with this dichotomy the series went from sneering at action movies to contemplating the merits of freedom and control in an acid-laced vision of the future.Īeon became a representation of independence, self-motivated and acting according to her own whims. Old clumsy Aeon gave way to a new capable, calculating Aeon, agent of the anarchist territory of Monica. The characters started talking and the universe gained some history. However, when it got picked up as a full series Aeon Flux evolved into something more complex, fleshed-out, and… well, weird. The short revelled in Aeon’s senseless violence that ultimately signifies nothing. As Aeon nears her goal, a statesman she’s trying to assassinate, she steps on a tack and falls off a ledge to her death. ![]() One dying soldier takes off her mask and notices one of her comrades is still breathing, and uses her gun to prop his head up to keep it out of the gore pooling on the floor. In the pilot episode she mows down masked soldiers at the beginning while heroic music plays, before the view zooms out out to reveal mounds of dead bodies and rivers of blood. It gave us Beavis and Butthead and Daria, The Maxx and Clone High, Liquid Television and Cartoon Sushi, but probably its greatest contribution to the animation world was Aeon Flux.Īeon Flux started as a series of shorts deconstructing action movies, with no dialogue and Aeon acting as a parody of an action star. From the early 90s to the early 2000s, MTV was a bastion of great animated series. But I don’t miss the music videos or the VJs or the early reality shows like Road Rules. ![]() ![]() If you’ve had a conversation about MTV, someone has probably said something along the lines of “Hey, remember when Music Television was good and USED TO ACTUALLY PLAY MUSIC!?” And though I’m skeptical of blind nostalgia, I do kinda wish modern MTV was more like it used to be. Today, MTV is best known for being not as good as it used to be.

![]() ![]() The GMT features a contrast color hand and a large arrow for great readability. The obelisk-style hands are just the right lengths: the seconds and minutes extend to the minute track, while the hour and GMT brush the inner edge of the 24-hour track. Certainly, not a dealbreaker, especially with how well executed the dial is as a whole. It’s a presumably easy solution to make the numerals that much smaller or the aperture that much larger. And further-possibly the only issue with the watch-the date numerals from 22 to 30 are clipped by the window. It’s innocuous, though it’s better on the black dial as the wheel itself is black. The date window is circular and features at 3 o’clock along the 24-hour track. While the blue dial gets steel surrounds and hands, with orange accents, the black dial features gold and red accents, plus yellow for everything else. (The black dial features roman numerals instead of Arabic, a nod to many of the large clocks around Switzerland that feature gilt roman numerals.) What I call the “DeltAloha” logo (deltas stand-in for A’s) is just below the moon at 12, while “Automatic” and “GMT” are at 6. It sounds like too much, but glance at the dial and you’ll see it’s tastefully handled. Stepping in, a 24-hour track features numerals every four hours, a half-moon at 12, a sun at 6, and dots otherwise. Applied baton indices at every 5 minutes grace the periphery of the dial, with half-length printed hashes in between. The blue dial features a sunray finish that can play almost purple in some light, while the black impresses with an inky gloss. Goes off without a hitch, I’d say.Ī domed sapphire crystal protects the dial, which comes in either black or blue. Imagine this watch case as a hybridization of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual and the Omega Aqua Terra. A generic screw-down crown, etched with the logo, sits on the 3 o’clock side, affording 100M of water resistance. The lugs complete a gentle curve to the entire case that lets the watch rest easy. They depart the case and soon after, drop in a near 90-degree curve towards the wrist. The lugs are a balanced 20mm-which further supports my theory that the best case diameter-to-lug width ratio is 2:1. I love a good chamfer, and this one is thicker than most, and I think the effect is great, suggesting a bold elegance, rather than a subdued one. The case alternates polished and brushed: polished fixed bezel, brushed top, polished ribbon chamfer (thick, from lug to lug), brushed sides. That makes for a delightful wrist experience (38mm-40mm is just right for my 7-inch wrist. The case is an ideal 40mm and only 10.4mm tall. But not here: fixed bezel, one crown, two time zones. In both cases you can track three separate time zones, which I think we can all agree is superfluous except for the jetsettingest of folk. It’s too often that with GMTs you get a chunky case with a Big Bold Bezel (looking at you, Rolex), or sometimes even an extra crown to rotate an internal bezel. The GMT 40 offers an exceptionally well-proportioned case. Plus, the first release is killer: I got a chance to go hands-on with both iterations of the Aloha GMT 40-the black dial and the blue dial. Knowing that Spencer came from the world of tech and dropped everything to pursue his brand, I can only support his goals and the principles that drive him. Instead of being Hawaii-based, Aloha Watches and its founder Spencer Leu are all about living the “Aloha” lifestyle: be present, reconnect, do good. You were thinking Hawaii, I’m sure, and you’re as surprised as I was. But then I got the black dial on my wrist and damn near forgot the blue one even existed.Īloha Watches is a new venture out of…Seattle, Washington. cities for the honor of being the prime meridian.I’ll tell you right out that I ended up liking the black dial of the Aloha Watches GMT 40 better than the blue dial. Using GMT as the starting point forestalled any competition between different U.S. Many cities passed ordinances adopting the system as well, and eventually, it became the standard across the U.S. 18, 1883 - which became known as "the day of two noons" - railroads in North America converted to a system of just four time zones: Eastern Time, Central Time, Mountain Time and Pacific Time. With most sea charts already marking Greenwich as the prime meridian (or longitude 0 degrees), it seamlessly became the dividing line between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Rather than relying on local solar days, his system referenced the Royal Greenwich Observatory in the U.K., where Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) was set by the sun's position over the prime meridian. Fleming's innovative approach divided the world into 24 time zones, each roughly 15 degrees apart. In 1876, a missed train due to a timetable error prompted Scottish-born engineer, Sir Sandford Fleming, to rethink global timekeeping.
