About this deal
Ever since I can remember I’ve always had a watch, never been great at punctuality, but I’ve always known how late I was. I also have a tendency to collecting and look after things I own so over the years had acumulated a few watches, mainly cheap fashion watches, but a few budget brands, a couple of good quartz chronographs, and a very nice quality automatic. It was so frustrating seeing all those people who are understandably stressing and feeling depressed and worried about how much they’d invested in something and not having any hope — and I can promise you that Paramount are also determined to find a good outcome for this. They were completely blindsided by this. They knew no more than any of you.
Because of his status as an Eaglemoss employee, Robinson was barred from speaking publicly about the situation within the company — until this week, when he formally separated from Eaglemoss and regained the power to share his perspective. Please note there is No seconds hand on the watch as standard. The movement has the mechanism for a seconds hand and the watch pictured has had one custom fitted.
Those people, obviously, sat there with, as you say, a 1/2 or 2/3 of a ship thinking, “Well, I’m never going to be able to finish this…” My message to them is I think you may well be able to finish it. I can’t make any promises, but don’t assume the worst. TREKCORE: Compared to the rest of the company, how was Star Trek doing? Was that product line key to the business issues — like a slowdown in Trek purchasing, too many obscure ships, that kind of thing?
You would think, given the sales figures and what we know, that they would be appealing to somebody. It may not be one single publisher for everything — but the one project I’ve got a lot of faith in is Nana Visitor’s A Woman’s Trek. For that one we’ve done some incredible interviews, capturing really eye-opening stuff. That book is very important to me and close to my heart — I’ll publish it myself if I must! Each monthly shipment will contain four stages of parts, except for the DeLorean which will contain five.True, the watch is not water resistant, and the quartz movement is probably not the best, but I have other watches that fulfil those requirements.
