A full-fledged Manufacture

Founded in 1904 and having crossed the 100-year threshold, SWIZA combines incomparable experience in luxury clocks with perpetually renewed creative dynamism. SWIZA is Switzerland's largest clock manufacturer. Its artisans perpetuate the tradition of high-quality timekeepers in solid brass, combining cutting-edge machining technologies with a time-honoured finish worthy of craftsmen. In particular, SWIZA is one of the rare "Manufactures" making its own mechanical and quartz movements. In its modern factory in Delémont (the Swiss Jura region), around 40,000 table clocks, alarm clocks, carriage clocks and movements are produced under its own SWIZA and MATTHEW NORMAN brands, or for prestigious world-famous watch brands. Building on its past, while resolutely geared towards the future, the third generation of the Schwab family is working with a team of competent young managers in rising to new challenges and perpetuating the creative genius which has made SWIZA so successful.

SWIZA clocks : For connoisseurs of modern aesthetic elegance. SWIZA clocks are characterised by an exclusive and resolutely contemporary style and fitted with the Swiza quartz movements, the only movements with the Swiss made label. Crafted in noble materials such as brass and precious woods, they also meet the high quality criteria inherent to Swiss clock and watchmaking. SWIZA spells an unusual design concept: the collections are part of the complete Swiza world with four types of clocks covering major specific requirements in terms of timekeepers: at home or in the office, on a bed-side table or when travelling.

MATTHEW NORMAN

Mechanical clocks : The gem in the SWIZA crown. SWIZA took over MATTHEW NORMAN, a respected Swiss manufacturer of luxury mechanical carriage clocks in 1991, thereby acquiring a second flagship brand and writing a new chapter in the history of carriage clocks by reproducing some vintage models, while also giving the genre a bright new look. MATTHEW NORMAN clocks are fitted with complex mechanical movements (strike, repeat, alarm, date, moonphase), an exceptional baguette movement and the de Paris movement.

SWIZA watches

An alarm on the wrist, a symbolical innovation! In 1997, SWIZA introduced its first collection of SWIZA ·1904· wristwatches. In keeping with its tradition of quality, SWIZA naturally applied highly selective criteria to its watches: cases and bracelets in steel and genuine leather straps, scratch-resistant sapphire crystals, water-resistant cases. And representing the ultimate return to company roots, a collection of alarm watches!

Swiza '8' travel alarm clock - Schwab SA - 7 Jewels

• Thread starter Candix
• Start date Sep 29, 2017
• Sep 29, 2017

Hi all, Don't know what has happened to the NAWCC Web Site - hope someone can answer - it's all vey strange!! I have a Swiza '8' alarm clock for service (haven't seen one before) it would appear to have two springs in the one barrel with a 'Stop Works' arrangement for the alarm - how to let the spring down to dismantle the clock?? also how to set up the stop works arrangement on assembly - Does anyone have some experience with this clock? Regards candix  

• Sep 30, 2017

roughbarked said: The easiest way is to remove or disconnect the stop works and allow the alarm to use all the single mainspring. I've repaired quite a few in my time. If you simply remove the cog that is under the key. Careful, it will fall off if you tip the clock upside down. Then allow the alarm to ring and rather than stopping when the stop work does, it will run the whole mainspring down. See image sans the above mentioned cog. The stopwork needs no setting up. You simply need to remember to put this cog back on before you finish putting the back on. hmm, where's the image I uploaded? That was strange. Had to upload it twice.

Live Map: Track the path of Hurricane Francine

MORGAN CITY, La. (AP) — Francine weakened Thursday after striking Louisiana as a Category 2 hurricane that knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of utility customers, sent storm surge rushing into coastal communities and raised flooding fears in New Orleans and beyond.

Track the storm with the live map below.

As the system moved inland, crews began clearing roads and restoring electricity while neighborhoods and businesses started cleaning up the mess. There were no reports of deaths or injuries, Gov. Jeff Landry said.

“The human spirit is defined by its resiliency, and resiliency is what defines Louisiana,” Landry told a news conference. “Certainly there are times and situations that try us, but it is also when we in this state are at our very best.”

At the storm’s peak, 450,000 people in Louisiana were without power, based on numbers reported by the Public Service Commission. Many of the outages were linked to falling debris, not structural damage. At one point, around 500 people were in emergency shelters, officials said.

“The amount of money invested in resilience has really made a difference, from the power outages to the number of homes saved,” said Deanne Criswell, the administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, who attended the governor’s news conference.

The storm drenched the northern Gulf Coast. Up to 6 inches (15 centimeters) of rain was possible in parts of Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee and Georgia, with up to 10 inches (25 centimeters) possible in parts of Alabama and Florida. Flash flooding threatened cities as far away as Jackson, Mississippi; Birmingham, Alabama and Memphis, Tennessee.

Though far from the Gulf, a jury in Memphis was sent home early in the trial of three former police officers charged with civil rights violations in the beating death of Tyre Nichols. U.S. District Judge Mark Norris blamed the remnants of Francine, saying he wanted to spare jurors from worrying about the weather and getting distracted.

By late Thursday afternoon, the National Weather Service declared Francine a remnant low-pressure system or “post-tropical cyclone.” The center of the system was about 90 miles (145 kilometers) south of Memphis.

Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Ileana formed Thursday in the eastern Pacific Ocean, prompting officials in Mexico to post a tropical storm warning for the Baja California peninsula, according to the hurricane center. The storm was about 240 miles (385 kilometers) southeast of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, with maximum winds of 40 mph (65 kph) and moving northwest at 9 mph (15 kph).

Francine slammed the Louisiana coast Wednesday evening with 100 mph (155 kph) winds in coastal Terrebonne Parish, battering a fragile coastal region that has not fully recovered from a series of devastating hurricanes in 2020 and 2021. The system then rushed toward New Orleans, lashing the city with torrential rain. The city awoke to widespread power outages and debris-covered streets. Home generators roared outside some houses.

Rushing water nearly enveloped a pickup truck in a New Orleans underpass, trapping the driver inside. A 39-year-old emergency room nurse who lived nearby grabbed a hammer, waded into the waist-high water, smashed the window and pulled the driver out. It was all captured on live television by a WDSU news crew.

“It’s just second nature I guess, being a nurse, you just go in and get it done, right?” Miles Crawford told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Thursday. “I just had to get to get him out of there.”

He said the water was up to the driver’s head and rising. Crawford told the man to move to the back of the truck’s cab, which gave him more room, and since the front end of the pickup was angled down, into deeper water.

“I wasn’t really questioning whether I should do it — it was just who is going to get it done,” he recalled, adding that he never caught the man’s name.

Elsewhere, news footage from coastal communities after Francine’s landfall showed waves from lakes, rivers and Gulf waters thrashing seawalls. Water poured into city streets in blinding downpours. Trees bent in the wind.

Along Bayou Pointe-au-Chien, on southern Louisiana’s coast, homes were spared the worst of the storm surge by a robust levee system and floodgate. Even so, white cap waves formed in the bayou and smashed against the home where Debra Matherne sheltered with her father.

“The house started rocking and I’m like ‘Oh, I hope it stays on the pilings,’ said Matherne, 66. The damage to their home was nothing major, just blown out screens, “but it sure to hell was scary.”

Elsewhere, sheriff’s deputies helped evacuate dozens of people, including many small children, who were trapped by rising water Wednesday evening in Thibodaux. Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre said deputies also rescued residents in the Kraemer community.

As the sun rose in Morgan City, about 30 miles (50 kilometers) from where Francine made landfall, residents gathered tree branches that were strewn across their yards, where water rose almost to their doors. Pamela Miller, 54, stepped outside to survey the damage after a large tree fell on the roof of her home.

“It was a really loud noise, a jolt,” she said. “Luckily it did not go through the roof.”

The sixth named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, Francine drew fuel from exceedingly warm Gulf of Mexico waters.

In the Louisiana town of Ashland, 73-year-old Wilson Garner stood on the steps of a FEMA trailer he has lived in since his previous home was destroyed by Hurricane Ida in 2021. He has been trying for years to get enough money to fix up the old place. The $1,000 monthly rental stipend from FEMA is not enough for him to move, he said.

“You find a place for $1,000, man, you’re very lucky,” he said. “We just haven’t had no success. Where am I going to go? I don’t know.”

Ukraine-Russia war: Latest updates

Follow this live page for the latest developments and analysis of the Ukraine-Russia war.

Monday 16 September 2024 16:54, UK

Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player

• Big picture: What you need to know as war enters new week
• Deborah Haynes analysis : Western allies face risks green-lighting long-range missiles - but bowing to Russian threats would be more dangerous
• James Matthews analysis: Can US call Putin's bluff without triggering catastrophe?

Here's everything you need to know as Russia's war in Ukraine enters a new week.

Pressure grows on West over long-range missiles

Volodymyr Zelenskyy continued to pressure the West over the past few days to allow Ukraine to use the long-range missiles they have been provided with to strike targets deep inside Russia.

No decision has been made after talks between Sir Keir Starmer and US President Joe Biden in Washington last week.

Foreign Secretary David Lammy told Sky News' Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips that he could not discuss the details of why a decision was not made, but added: "There's a debate about further missiles.

"And we are discussing that as allies, as you would expect us to."

Prisoner exchange

On Saturday Russia and Ukraine each handed over 103 prisoners of war.

Moscow's defence ministry said the Russian soldiers had been taken captive in Russia's Kursk region - where Ukrainian forces captured territory last month in a major incursion into Russia.

Mr Zelenskyy said the Ukrainian troops were defending the Kyiv and Donetsk regions, Mariupol and Azovstal, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv regions.

Putin escalates rhetoric

Vladimir Putin issued an ominous warning on Friday in response to suggestions Ukraine may be given permission to strike Russian territory with Western-made long-range missiles.

The Russian president said such a development would put NATO "at war" with Russia.

He insisted it would "significantly change" the nature of the Ukraine conflict and amount to "nothing less than direct involvement of NATO countries".

Russia expels six British diplomats

Russia expelled six British diplomats in Moscow on Friday, with its FSB security service claiming their activity indicated they were involved in spying and sabotage.

The diplomats were named on Russian state TV, which also showed photos of them.

However, a Whitehall source speaking to Sky News strongly rejected the characterisation that the individuals had been involved in spying and sabotage.

They said the expulsions were part of a wave of tit-for-tat expulsions that began when the UK expelled almost two dozen Russian officials from the embassy in London in the wake of the poisoning of Sergei Skripal, a former Russian double agent, and his daughter Yulia with novichok nerve agent in Salisbury in 2018.

US says Russia has received Iranian missiles

On Wednesday the US said it believes the Russian military has received shipments of hundreds of Iranian Fath-360 missiles.

US secretary of state Antony Blinken said he feared the short-range missiles would be used by Moscow "within weeks".

Mr Lammy said the supply of ballistic missiles from Iran to Russia was "definitely a significant escalation" and said the UK was "coordinating".

Both Iran and Russia have denied the claims.

UK cracks down on Russian 'shadow fleet'

On Wednesday the UK announced new sanctions against 10 ships in Russia's "shadow fleet" of vessels it says illegally avoid Western embargoes on Russian oil.

The sanctions aim to further impact Moscow's oil revenues, which the Foreign Office called "Putin's most critical source of funding for his illegal war in Ukraine".

It is the third time the UK has sanctioned individual vessels.

Russia begins 'significant counteroffensive'

Moscow's forces have begun a significant counteroffensive against Ukrainian troops who pushed their way into western Russia last month, pro-Moscow war bloggers said on Wednesday.

Ukrainian troops claim to control almost 500 square miles (around 1,300 square km) of the Kursk region after they launched a surprise incursion on 6 August.

But three milbloggers said Russian forces had begun a significant counteroffensive and have reclaimed territory in the region.

Mr Zelenskyy had told Sky News' US partner network NBC last week that Ukraine will "hold" the territory as a key part of his "victory plan" to end the war.

That's it for our live updates today. We'll be back soon with more updates on the Ukraine war.

The main story was a Russian aerial bomb hitting a residential high-rise in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv.

Ukraine's push to launch Western-supplied long-range missiles into Russia continued, as pressure mounts on the UK and US to make a decision.  

And a married couple were killed by Russian missiles launched into Ukraine's Odesa overnight, with one other person injured. 

Read our latest recap of the situation in Ukraine below:

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has given an update on the situation in Kharkiv after the Russian strike there.

In a statement on Telegram, Ukraine's president said "rescue operations are still under way".

"There was a fire, ceilings collapsed. It is known that people are trapped under the rubble," the president said. 

He also revised the number of injured.

He said: "As of now, 35 people are reported injured, including three children. All emergency services, rescue teams, medics, and utility workers quickly arrived at the scene, and aid is being provided to all those affected."

The airstrike involved four aerial bombs - one on Kharkiv, and three in nearby villages, Mr Zelenskyy also said.

He added: "Today, Russian forces also hit our Sumy and Donetsk regions with such bombs. 

"In total, there are no fewer than a hundred airstrikes of this kind every day. 

"Just in the past 24 hours, 128 guided aerial bombs were used."

He used the strikes to renew his argument for the West to allow Ukraine to strike at Russian military aircraft at their bases inside Russia.

"This is an obvious, sensible decision. We have already explained to all our partners why Ukraine truly needs sufficient long-range capabilities," he said.

For context: President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Keir Starmer met in Washington this week to discuss whether or not to allow Ukraine to fire its long-range missiles on targets in Russia.

Vladimir Putin threatened that Russia would consider itself at war with NATO if such a measure was taken.

Ihor Terekhov, the mayor of Kharkiv, says at least 41 people have been injured after a Russian aerial bomb hit an apartment building in the city.

Earlier, we reported here how the number of wounded was thought to be at least 30 at first.

The mayor added the guided bomb hit the 10th floor of the building, with the fire spreading across four floors. 

Twelve other buildings were also damaged in the same airstrike, he said. 

Footage has emerged of a building on fire after being hit by a Russian aerial bomb.

The high-rise residential building in Kharkiv in northeastern Ukraine was hit this afternoon, injuring at least 30 people - including three children.

Kharkiv, one of Ukraine's largest cities and a key industrial centre, is located near the Russian border and is constantly under attack from Russian bombs, missiles and drones.

The UK's Ministry of Defence (MoD) has outlined the struggles Ukraine is facing on multiple areas of the frontline.

In an update earlier today, it said Russian troops are continuing "high tempo" offensive operations.

"In Russia's Kursk oblast, where Ukraine has maintained control of approximately 800-900 sq km of territory since mid-August 2024, Russian forces have begun a counter-offensive," it said.

"Russian forces have attacked Ukrainian positions in the west of the salient and have highly likely retaken several villages," it added.

That update comes after Russian forces claimed over the weekend they had taken control of the villages of Zhelanne Pershe and Dolynivka in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region.

"In eastern Ukraine, Russian forces have made gradual advances around Vuhledar and to the southeast of the logistics hub of Pokrovsk," the MoD continued.

"However Russia has not advanced significantly towards Pokrovsk itself within the past week."

Sir Ed Davey says Ukraine should be allowed to use the West's long-range missiles "to attack Russian military bases in Russia".

"They're being used to wreak havoc on Ukraine," the Lib Dem leader said at a party conference in Brighton today.

He said he had "no inside knowledge", but he "wouldn't be surprised if they've already taken a decision to use them collectively across NATO".

Asked specifically if the UK should wait for approval from the US president, Sir Ed said: "If we have to do it unilaterally, I think we should."

Sir Keir Starmer travelled to Washington DC to meet with President Joe Biden on Friday to discuss the matter, but no decision has been taken yet.

Both leaders are under pressure to allow Ukraine to fire into Russian territory, in particular after it was revealed that Iran supplied Russia with ballistic missiles.

At least 30 people, including three children, have been injured after a Russian guided bomb hit a high-rise building in Kharkiv in northeastern Ukraine.

The bomb caused a fire in the residential building, local officials said on Telegram.

"The rescue operation in Kharkiv continues. A Russian air strike," Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an update on social media.

"An ordinary residential building, a multi-storey building, was damaged. There is a fire and rubble between the 9th and 12th floors," he added.

"And the world must help defend Ukraine from Russian military aircraft, from dozens of guided bombs that take lives of Ukrainians every day. This terror can be stopped."

Long-range missiles have been prominent in the war of late, as Ukraine continues to urge Western allies to give them the green-light to launch them into Russia.

It can be difficult to cram everything you need to know about the weaponry into each post about them - but in this one we'll try to give you all the context you need moving forward.

What are long-range missiles?

They are, as the name suggests, missiles which travel further than other weapons at Ukraine's disposal.

Specifically, there are two types of long-range missiles the UK and US could let Ukraine launch into Russia.

There is the Storm Shadow - a long-range cruise missile developed by British Aerospace and a French company, which carries a 450kg conventional warhead to a range of up to 200 miles.

Then there is the US Army Tactical Missile System - or ATACMS - a guided long-range weapon with a range of about 180 miles.

The Storm Shadow missiles have to be launched from fighter jets in the air, while the ATACMS can be fired from the ground.

Ukraine already has these missiles

You may have noticed that Volodomyr Zelenskyy is asking for permission to use long-range missiles, rather than asking for a supply. 

That's because the UK and US have already sent Ukraine long-range missiles - they just haven't granted it permission to launch them into Russia. 

Ukraine is currently only allowed to target Russian-occupied territory within Ukraine itself.

What does Ukraine want to use the missiles for?

Ukraine sees the ability to use long-range missiles behind enemy lines as a game-changer, allowing it to target Russian air bases, supply depots, and communication centres hundreds of miles over the border.

It argues this would help reduce Russia’s air superiority and weaken supply lines needed to launch daily airstrikes against Ukraine - with drones, missiles, and powerful glide bombs - and to sustain its military ground offensive into Ukraine.

Why is the West so hesitant to let Ukraine launch into Russia?

Ukraine's Western allies are concerned about what Russia's response might be.

Vladimir Putin has warned that he would see NATO countries allowing Ukraine to strike Russian territory with Western-made long-range missiles as their "direct involvement".

As we reported on Friday, he claimed this would put NATO "at war" with Russia.

Joe Biden will speak to Volodomyr Zelenskyy directly about long-range missiles later this month, according to his national security adviser.

Speaking remotely at a conference in Kyiv, Jake Sullivan said the matter of whether Ukraine will be given permission by Western countries to use its weapons to launch attacks deep into Russia was the subject of "intense consultations" among allies.

He said Mr Biden would speak to the Ukrainian president about the weapons and about a "substantial" new aid package Washington has been working on.

Mr Zelenskyy has said he wants to present Mr Biden with a "victory plan" during their next talks, which he believes will force Russia to end its war.

"I do think we need a comprehensive strategy for success in this war and that is what president Zelenskyy says he is bringing," Mr Sullivan said, adding outgoing president Mr Biden was "eager for that conversation".
