Global multi-asset broker Exness (https://www.Exness.com/) has just launched its first CSR program in Seychelles, donating to the Pointe Larue Secondary, Point Larue Primary and Anse Aux Pins Primary schools in the island of Mahe. The initiative provided a total of 140 whiteboards and cork boards to the school, benefiting 35 classes.
The Pointe Larue Secondary School is one of the largest secondary schools in Seychelles. Its more than 800 students, aged between 11 and 16, come from four different districts of the island nation, namely Point La Rue, Anse aux Pins, Au Cap and Cascade.
To ensure the donation would directly benefit the school, the Exness CSR team visited the Pointe Larue Secondary School, to identify exactly how the company could help. During their visit, the Principal informed the Exness CSR team that many of the school's blackboards were damaged and needed replacement. The CSR team and the Principal agreed that Exness would provide cork boards and white boards to fulfil this urgent need.
'We are very excited to be launching our first major CSR programme in Seychelles. It is a huge milestone in our global CSR efforts,' commented Svetlana Nikonova, Exness CSR Program Manager.
'As a licensed broker in Seychelles, Exness' project with the Schools is an excellent opportunity for us to establish our CSR presence in the country and make a difference in the communities of Seychelles. We look forward to our future CSR projects, which will continue to bring a positive impact on Seychelles and beyond.'
Exness Group is a global multi-asset broker licensed and regulated by multiple reputable financial regulatory authorities, including the Financial Services Authority (FSA) of Seychelles, the Capital Markets Authority of Kenya (CMA) and the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) of South Africa. Known for its exceptional trading conditions and client-centric approach, Exness offers a growing range of trading products to traders from across the globe, including cryptos, forex, stocks, indices, commodities and precious metals.

So, you wanna stop Adani? Use this guide to research your local Labor MP or candidate to find out where they'll be, what motivates them, and where they stand on new coal mines.
Step 1: Who is your local Labor MP or candidate?
You can find your local MP here, and see if they're a Labor party member.
If you're looking for your local Labor candidate, you can find them here.
Sign up to their mailing list on their website to receive regular email updates, invites to local events, and propaganda to understand what they're saying. Every MP has an e-newsletter. Set up a Google News Alert — for example for "Bob Smith MP" — to receive an email whenever your MP is in the news.
Step 2: What are they about?
Politicians are usually passionate about particular issues and constituents in their electorate. Some politicians have portfolios for issues they speak on behalf of the party for (you can find that on the ALP website). Look them up on Wikipedia, the APH website or just a google search to find out what issues they're keen on. Reading their maiden speech from their first day in Parliament is a good way to find out what they're passionate about too.
Take a deeper look and find out what factions they are part of and what unions they align themselves with by googling their name and the word faction, or often Wikipedia will know (Labor Left, Labor Right). You might meet with someone you know who volunteers or works in their office, or if you can't find any info online, why not just call their office!
Step 3: Where do they hang out?
Find their Facebook page and look through their photos - what markets do they go to, are they hosting any doorstops or BBQs, what forums have they got coming up?
Step 4: What Stop Adani angle will work best for them?
Do they care about local climate change impacts (maybe), do they care about young votes in their electorate (probably), are they an "economic realist", do they care about trade, coal miners or workers? Use their frames to call on them to Stop Adani. See more in this "How to lobby your MP" guide, and this guide for how to pester them into a no new coal mines or #StopAdani position.

Q: Backbone sends request payload instead of FormData I am trying to post some data to the server using backbone collection's create method like this:
this.collection.create(modelData,
{
wait:true,
contentType:"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
});

Here model data contains a well formatted JSON object. The problem is that the post request always gets cancelled. The data sent is in the form of requestpayload.
Using some REST client
I am able to post easily because it sends the data using formData instead of requestPayload.
Any takers?
EDIT
This is what i get in network console:
Request URL:http://myendpointurlhere.com/
Request Headers CAUTION: Provisional headers are shown.
Accept:application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01
Cache-Control:no-cache
Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Origin:http://localhost:8888
Pragma:no-cache
Referer:http://localhost:8888/case/12345
User-Agent:Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/35.0.1916.153 Safari/537.36
Form Dataview sourceview URL encoded
model:{"startDate":"19/5/2014","acute":"true","terminal":"true","comment":"","name":"Hypothyroidism","caseId":"4872585904914432"}

EDIT 2
For some reason this is what worked for me. Let me know your thoughts on this:
this.collection.create({},
{
  data:modelData,
  wait:true,
  emulateJSON:true
});

A: If you need the request sent as formData you should use the emulateJSON:true options with your request. From the docs:

If you're working with a legacy web server that can't handle requests encoded as application/json, setting Backbone.emulateJSON = true; will cause the JSON to be serialized under a model parameter, and the request to be made with a application/x-www-form-urlencoded MIME type, as if from an HTML form.

this.collection.create(modelData,
{
    wait:true,
    emulateJSON:true
});

Or, if all your requests need to use emulateJSON you can set it globally with Backbone.emulateJSON=true;
Update:
If you actually need to send the FormData object to server, you will need to modify sync for your models/collection to generate it yourself before you send it to the server. Here's something you can try (not tested):
var YourModel = Backbone.Model.extend({
    sync: function(method, model, options){
        options = options || {};
        var formData = new FormData();

        var json = model.toJSON();
        _.each(json, function(value, key){
             formData.append(key, value);
        });

        options.data = formData;
        options.emulateJSON = true; // Important because your sending formdata
        return Backbone.Model.prototype.sync.call(this, method, model, options);
    }
});

http://mrjoelkemp.com/2013/09/backbone-js-model-save-without-the-emulatejson-model-attribute/ provides a good example of how this works.

A: Yeah you have to manually create your own FormData store and send it as data if you want $.ajax to send you the data as a FormData and not as Request payload.
You can do it by this :
var formData = new FormData();

for ( key in modelData ) {
    data.append(key, modelData[key]);
}

this.collection.create(modelData, {
    wait:true,
    data: formData,
    processData: false
});

You can check out the JsBin demo here Just open the developer tools and see that you have what you need in the FormData of the request.

Apex class:
public static Boolean getContacto (String contactId) {
    Boolean alerta = false;
    if(String.isNotBlank(contactId) && String.isNotEmpty(contactId)){
        Contact contacto =[SELECT Id, UniqueId_Status__c, UniqueId__c from Contact where Id =: contactId and Country__c = 'CHILE'];

        if(contacto.UniqueId__c == null && (contacto.UniqueId_Status__c == 'M2' || contacto.UniqueId_Status__c == 'M3' || contacto.UniqueId_Status__c == 'M4' || contacto.UniqueId_Status__c == 'R2' || contacto.UniqueId_Status__c == 'R3' || contacto.UniqueId_Status__c == 'R4')){

        contactos.LastName = 'testing';
        contactos.UniqueId_Status__c = 'M1';
        contactos.Country__c = 'CHILE';
        insert contactos;

        Test.startTest();
        ATCL_BloquearContactoCTRL.getContacto(contactos.Id);
        Test.stopTest();
    } }

I do not Know how to coverage alerta variable
Thanks Juan

A: The low key is to reckon those ifs as diferent scenarios.
To achive those diferente scenarios you must add the new values into the test class to eventually pass the ifs sentences. Every scenrio should be resolve with a difrent @istest method:
public class ATCL_BloquearContactoTest {
@IsTest
static void bloqueaContactoTestNull(){
    Contact contactos = new Contact();

    contactos.FirstName = 'Amanda';
    contactos.LastName = 'testing';
    contactos.UniqueId__c = null;//== null
    contactos.UniqueId_Status__c = 'M2';//like M_ || R_
    contactos.Country__c = 'CHILE';
    insert contactos;

    Test.startTest();
    ATCL_BloquearContactoCTRL.getContacto(contactos.Id);
    Test.stopTest();

}
@IsTest
static void bloqueaContactoTestNotNull(){
    Contact contactos = new Contact();

    contactos.FirstName = 'Amanda';
    contactos.LastName = 'testing';
    contactos.UniqueId__c = '21354689';//!= null
    contactos.UniqueId_Status__c = 'M2';//like M_ || R_
    contactos.Country__c = 'CHILE';
    insert contactos;

    Test.startTest();
    ATCL_BloquearContactoCTRL.getContacto(contactos.Id);
    Test.stopTest();

}
@IsTest
static void bloqueaContactoTestNotNullNotNull(){
    Contact contactos = new Contact();

    contactos.FirstName = 'Amanda';
    contactos.LastName = 'testing';
    contactos.UniqueId__c = '21354689';//!= null
    contactos.UniqueId_Status__c = '0';//!(like  M_ || R_)
    contactos.Country__c = 'CHILE';
    insert contactos;

    Test.startTest();
    ATCL_BloquearContactoCTRL.getContacto(contactos.Id);
    Test.stopTest();

}

}

Bill Viola Jr., Award-Winning Author│Producer│Promoter│Martial Artist│MMA Historian│Sensei│組手 Expert
Bill Viola Jr. is a best-selling author, film producer, mixed martial arts historian and international martial arts champion who is currently President of the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania based Kumite Classic Entertainment.
Viola Jr. began his career following in his father's footsteps as one of the most consistent sport karate competitors in the nation recognized as a multi time United States of America Karate Federation (USAKF) National Champion and All-American Athlete. As a Junior at the University of Pittsburgh, he was recognized by Arnold Schwarzenegger as a World Champion at The Arnold Sports Festival, Columbus, Ohio in 1998. In 1999, he sustained a cervical neck injury in an automobile accident followed by surgery on his esophagus that ended his competitive aspirations.
He graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Pittsburgh in 1999 with a bachelor's degree in Political Science and moved to Hollywood, California to gain hands-on experience in the entertainment industry. Subsequently, he was accepted into the Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Television and Radio and established his own company, Kumite Classic Entertainment (KCE). He gained notoriety from his role in the Britney Spears video Stronger (2000) and was able to network and build relationships with leading directors and producers.
His company's signature event, the self-titled "Kumite Classic," is regarded as the mecca for martial arts in Western Pennsylvania. KCE also produces the annual Pittsburgh Fitness Expo, recognized as the largest and most established multi-sport convention in Western Pennsylvania attracting sports and entertainment icons such as Lynn Swann, Franco Harris, Antonio Brown, Ice-T, and Royce Gracie over the years. Viola has served as a consultant, referee, and event coordinator for some of the largest martial arts events in the world. In 2017 he brokered a partnership with Century Martial Arts and WAKO to produce the North American Open in Las Vegas, Nevada in conjunction with UFC Fight Week.
In 2014, Viola Jr. published the critically acclaimed non-fiction book Godfathers of MMA inspired by the life of his father. His work was the subject of the documentary film Tough Guys (produced by an Academy Award accredited team) and made its network television debut on SHOWTIME (2017). Viola Jr. was a producer on the film and also made a cameo playing his father. The book was re-released as Tough Guys (a commemorative edition) and peaked at #1 on the Amazon charts for sports (September, 2017).
Bill Viola Jr. is a #1 Amazon Best-Selling Author (Peaked #1 in sports category in Oct. 2017). His book "Tough Guys" was the inspiration of the Documentary film Tough Guys which made its network television on SHOWTIME.
Viola is developing the screenplay and negotiating a deal for a major motion picture. He has served as an independent consultant for number major motion pictures including the mixed martial arts movie Warrior (2011) and producing credits for films such as Tapped Out (2014), Gridlocked (2015), The Sound (2017).
In 2011, Viola's research and documentation of martial arts was honored with a permanent exhibit installed at the Western PA Sports Museum and Senator John Heinz History Center. The display recognized Viola Sr. as the co-creator of the sport of Mixed Martial Arts a decade before the UFC (the showcase is located next to the Franco Harris "Immaculate Reception"). Jr. and Sr. are both official Sport Karate History Generals and recipients of the Sport Karate Museum's "Lifetime Achievement" award. The duo was awarded the Champion Associations Willie Stargell M.V.P. Award (2011) for community service, a tribute that includes Michael Jordan and Muhamad Ali as alum. In 2017 the Viola's were published in the book, Who's Who in the Martial Arts – Legends of American Karate. The dojo is home to the only karate athlete's honored with the "Positive Athlete" award and featured on KDKA's Hines Ward Show. In 2016 his work was honored by Pittsburgh Magazine who named him to the prestigious "40 under 40" list recognizing the most influential young leaders in the city.
Viola is an Amazon best-selling author, journalist and blogger contracted by such publications as Martial Arts Success, Sport Karate Magazine, Shotokan Magazine, and Sport Karate Illustrated. He established Kumite Quarterly magazine in 2003, serving as publisher and overseeing distribution throughout North America until 2007. The magazine was the official publication of Kumite International (KI), a scholarship foundation he founded (the first of its kind in the United States) through a partnership with Western PA Police Athletic League and Eckert Seamans Law Firm. KI allocated $50,000 in scholarship funds for karate athletes and made national news when Lynn Swann (The Chairman of President George W. Bush's Council of Physical Fitness and Sports) presented the scholarships with Viola Jr. at his 2004 Kumite Classic. In 2016, he co-authored Go Ask Your Dad, an inspirational book about fatherhood which debuted on the Amazon best-sellers list. His latest project, CommonSensei is a self-help book aimed to teach high school and college age students skills they weren't taught.
Viola is the owner "Sensei" of Allegheny Shotokan Karate, the gold standard for martial arts in Western PA (celebrating its 50-year anniversary in 2019). The family-owned and operated dojo is blessed with 3 generations of Violas who carry on the legacy. Over the past fifty years, Viola's karate school has welcomed and transformed everyone from children struggling with autism to Olympic level competitors. "It doesn't matter if they are a professional athlete or a teenager who is coping with bullies," Viola Jr. says, "Each and every student is on their own personal journey of self-enlightenment and courage. Our goal is to help them reach their potential and go beyond." This formula of empowerment inspired Viola Jr. to package the family secrets into an Award-winning curriculum—Sensei Says®. This life skills education course is the cornerstone of Allegheny Shotokan's sister programs Norwin Ninjas (4-7 year olds) and Nursery Ninjas (2-3 year olds). The growing Pittsburgh karate legacy includes all four of his sisters and now his daughter, Gabriella Capri Viola (2018 US Open International Champion) and a son, William Viola IV born 2017.
Currently, Viola has made it his mission to KICK Parkinson's disease—literally. After he lost his Grandmother to complications from the disease, he created a mobile 1-mile "kick-a-thon" in conjunction with the former State Senator Sean Logan's PIND (Pittsburgh Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases) 5K. In all, over the past three years, the PIND 5K event has raised over $1 million dollars through appropriations, grants and sponsors — 100% of the funds are earmarked for experimental testing and research in hopes of finding the cure in Pittsburgh. In 2018 Viola's daughter Gabby was diagnosed with Indeterminate bowel disease, and in 2019 the two are planning advocacy efforts at the Capital to lobby for improvements to our healthcare system.
Today, Bill is the head coach of "Team Kumite," an all-star travel team that represents Pittsburgh on an international level. Most recently he coached his student, Xander Eddy at the Pan American Championships in Cancun, Mexico. Eddy became the youngest American in history to win Gold and was honored by the Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf and WTAE featured athlete. In 2020, the team is slated to compete at the Irish Open in Dublin, Ireland and visit Tokyo, Japan for the Olympic Games.
His book, Godfathers of MMA, was the inspiration of the Film "Tough Guys" where he teamed up with Oscar® winning filmmaker Ross Kauffman and Academy Award® nominated documentarian Morgan Spurlock (SUPER SIZE ME) to produce "Tough Guys." Viola re-released and re-branded (Tough Guys) the book to coincide with the film. On October 16th 2017 the book hit #1 as the top seller in the Amazon sports category.

Is there any standard emergency procedure from AVA?
By now, most would have been aware of the mass fish death at the coastal fish farms at Pasir Ris. The fishes in the fish farms had started dying from 16 February and persisted till the point where fish farmers saw almost all their fish stocks die off.
In response to this incident, Minister of State for Defence and National Development, Dr Mohamad Maliki Bin Osman spoke in parliament stating that the loss by fish farmers was about 600 tonnes.
Mr Philip Lim, a fish farmer and Chairman of Singapore Marine Aquaculture Cooperative in an interview with TOC, said that apart from not taking early precaution to help minimise the loss of fish farmers, Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) also failed to take preventive measures to ensure the safety of fish supply for the consumption by general public.
AVA had earlier said in a statement that post-mortem of fish samples collected from the affected farms indicated the fish had died as a result of gill damage caused by a kind of plankton.
AVA added that these are micro-organisms are found in seawater and they bloomed or multiply quickly in a very short time, draining the seawater of oxygen. AVA also declared that there were no marine biotoxins detected in the waters to have caused the death.
Mr Lim noted that AVA does not have an in-house marine biologist and asked which 3rd party laboratory which AVA is basing their report on.
In the laboratory test commissioned by TODAY, it is said that the species of algae behind the mass fish deaths off Pasir Ris likely belongs to the Gymnodinium group according to the experts at DHI Water & Environment.
Gymnodinium mikimotoi, also known as Karenia mikimotoi, is not toxic to humans, but has been associated with massive kills of wild and farmed fishes in Japan and Korea.
It is said that for decades, these species of algae have resulted in devastating marine life mortalities, yet the toxin mechanism and principles are poorly understood. It is noted that the toxin extracted from shellfishes during such bloom is able to produce a quick kill in both mice and fish, but was less toxic than brevetoxins.
The experts engaged by TODAY said that the exact species can only be confirmed through further genetic tests.
Mr Lim did his own investigation into the death of the fishes on the 20 February and recorded the above video of the algae which was found abundant in the seawater.
In comparison, the algae is indeed similiar to Karenia mikimotoi.
In an interview with Channel 8, Mr Chan Wei Loong, Head of Department in Marine Science and Aquaculture of Republic Polytechnic said that fishes will remain unsafe for consumption if death is caused by poisoning, even if the fish is thoroughly cooked.
In addition, if the fishes are collected to be sold when they are dead, micro-organism may find its way into the fish bodies and produce toxins which cannot be removed through cooking.
Recently on 5 March, AVA reacted to an email which warned people not to eat locally farmed fish and claiming that the recent mass fish deaths were caused by ciguatoxins.
AVA stated that the email is a hoax.
AVA said, "Our laboratory tests on fish samples collected from affected fish farms show that no marine biotoxins were detected. Dead fish are also disposed of and not allowed for sale.", stressing that locally farmed fish are safe for consumption.
But according to the video that Mr Lim had shot on 28th February, workers from one of the fish farms are shown loading fish stocks on shore at Changi jetty. Mr Lim estimated the amount of fishes to be around 100 tonnes. At this point, most of the fishes at the fish farms are said to have died from the Hazardous Algae Bloom (HAB).
Pointing to the similar mass fish death incident which took place last February, he noted that AVA had immediately issued letters to fish farmers on the day when the fishes started dying. AVA's instruction to the fish farmers was that no fishes can be sold until laboratory results show that the fishes are safe.
However, this year was different from last year.
Mr Lim pointed out when AVA first said that it warned fish farmers on the 16 February about the algae bloom, it most likely did not have an idea of what was causing the death of the fishes. Furthermore, AVA would take a week or so to confirm the cause of death and the type of algae of the algae bloom.
"It is a serious matter. AVA is not putting the public's interest as priority.", said Mr Lim, stating that AVA should have stopped the fish farmers from selling the fishes at the point the fishes started dying as it has not determine the seriousness of the matter.
"Apart from fishes, shellfishes such as mussels should be prevented from being sold as such seafood is likely to accumulate the toxin that is in the water." added Mr Lim.
Mr Lim said that he is not saying that the fishes must be poisonous but there must be an emergency procedure set in place by AVA in event of such biological catastrophe. Just like in the management of the outbreak of SARS, all poultry are culled irregardless of whether the virus is detected in the birds.
And not like in this case where AVA decided that it was ok to assume situation to be the best of the worst.
TOC has sent enquries on the above issues to AVA since 2nd March and has yet received any replies. We will include the replies when they reply.

The return of Mortal Kombat and Critters as digital shorts
Ron Seifried | On 22, Oct 2014
Franchises will never die; they just discover new outlets. Warner Bros. new short-form digital production unit Blue Ribbon Content, will begin developing new webisodes on several old, rebootable ideas. But then, isn't everything rebootable today?
Teaming up with House Party writer/director Reginald Hudlin, yet another comicbook will make its live action debut. Static Shock is about superhero Static by Dwayne McDuffie and Robert L. Washington III that has already received an animated series treatment on the WB in 2000-2004.
But the most familiar production gearing up will be Mortal Kombat, featuring the tired franchises eclectic group of misfits and new characters that will be featured on the Mortal Kombat X video game to be released in April 2015. The new series will be produced by the same team behind Mortal Kombat: Legacy short video series that ran for two seasons ending in 2013.
Other reboots from previous film franchises include the alien horror series Critters, a Veronica Mars "reality-comedy" and an animated Justice League.
1980's horror franchise Critters is about to get a web series reboot
With more viewers tuning in onto their mobile devices, TV ratings plummeting and film box office revenue sinking, the alternative option of watching content on the go is becoming more mainstream. Some of the media conglomerates may be late in getting into the short-form game, but its never too late for inexpensive, in-house properties. Marvel Studios has successfully produced a series of One-Shots focusing on supporting players in their Cinematic Universe, with the first going mainstream in early 2015 with the broadcast premiere of Agent Carter.
The new direction is only a natural shift into content sharing, only this time with major corporations taking the reigns from the amateur online producers
Warner Bros. is looking to do the same by first dipping their toe in the proverbial media pond with lesser known properties, but you can bet they will expand their other empires including DC Comics and Harry Potter universe's into the short-form market.
The current generation of influential viewers are in the process of making traditional broadcast television irrelevant, just as terrestrial radio has gone to way of streaming radio services.

The British government has ploughed nearly £100,000 into Facebook adverts that support the Prime Minister's Brexit deal, according to data released by the American social media firm.
A vote on the deal was eventually called off.
The leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, called the ad spend a "waste of public money" in the House of Commons on Tuesday 11 December - the day the vote was expected.
However, the sums spent on advertising on Twitter, LinkedIn and Google have not been released, meaning the government's final social media ad spend is likely to be far higher. When asked by the BBC to provide government ad spend figures, neither Twitter, LinkedIn nor Google would do so.
Thersea May admitted the deal "would be rejected by a significant margin" if MPs had a chance to vote on it, prompting her to call off the ballot.
The UK government Facebook page spent £96,684 to pay for the promotion of 11 videos promoting the Brexit deal, between December 2nd and 8th.
"There were days when both the prime minister and I served as local councillors. Had we spent public money in that way we would have been surcharged for a waste of public money without proper approval," Jeremy Corbyn said on Tuesday.
However, the ad spend was justified as "communicating government policy effectively to the public is a core function of the Civil Service" by a government spokesman.
Promoted videos included two called "What the Brexit Deal means for you in 60 seconds", costing between £1,000 and £5,000.
Specific videos were targeted at people in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland, saying that the deal "delivers" in those areas.
There were also three videos that discussed what the deal would mean as regards trade, immigration and the economy - which cost between £10,000 and £50,000 to promote and received more than a million "impressions" each.
Most of the three trade, immigration and economy videos were viewed by people in England, although the ads were not tailored to any specific English region.
More males than females saw the ads.
In the run up to the cancellation of the vote, the government went into an ad bidding war with a group called "Britain's Future", which advocated ditching the deal from a pro-Brexit stance.
Speaking to the BBC, a government spokesperson said: "We have a duty to ensure official HMG information relating to Brexit is highly visible and easily accessible to the public and paying to appear at the top of search results is an effective way to do this."
LinkedIn bans political ads on its network, but the firm did not classify the recent government communications as such.
At present, neither Google nor Twitter have a political ads transparency feature in place, so finding out how much the government spent on social media Brexit ads will remain a mystery for some time.

Mia-Phyllis Liefer, 32, and Wilfried Liefer, 62, daughter and father. Mia-Phyllis is a marketing and communications specialist and musician. She is curious and open-minded. Wilfried is a businessman always interested in trying something new. He is planning-focussed and visionary. The two have been business partners since 2018.
When and how did you become fascinated with watches?
Wilfried: The first watch that I can consciously remember was my father's, a hand-wound watch with a black leather strap and a silver dial. That was in the early 1960s. My real fascination with watches started when I became a jeweller. My professional occupation quickly turned into a personal passion. At the time, I was particularly interested in the young, bold, and less-established small brands.
In the 1990s, new brands such as Nomos, Jörg Schauer, Chronoswiss, Alain Silberstein, Jacques Etoulie and many other newcomers tried to find their place in the market. I was particularly impressed by their boldness, creativity, innovation and enthusiasm. We were one of the first places in Berlin to stock almost all of these brands. It was through my contact with these courageous watchmakers that I first came upon the idea of designing my own watch. However, it never made it past the drawing board.
Mia-Phyllis: I pretty much grew up with watches. My bedroom was directly above the jewellery shop, there was a wonderful small cuckoo clock hung on the wall… What do you expect?
What makes a good watch?
M-P: It's hard to say. What makes a poignant novel, a delicious meal, a moving film, or an aromatic cup of coffee? So many details must come together and harmonise with each other to become a distinct and special entity.
W: But what is most important is that a watch is not boring, unimaginative or run-of-the-mill. It should grab my attention through lovingly-crafted details and a recognizable key concept. Its appearance should be completely cohesive and it must have an independent identity. For me, just as in art, music and architecture, there isn't simply one good style when it comes to watches.
A baroque painting can impress me as much as a Kandinsky, and a harmonious piece of traditional music can move me just as deeply as a Leonard Cohen ballad… just as a Jörg Schauer Quarada sits next to a Minerva Cal 48 and an Omega Art in my watch collection.
M-P: What I really don't appreciate are these unimaginative mimics of Rolex Divers, Max Bills, Nomos, and the like. Design is not merely a matter of copy and paste.Nothing could be more dull.
Which watches do you own privately? Could you tell an interesting story about one of these watches?
M-P: Well, there's the confirmation watch made of precious metals from my grandparents and a couple of Swatches from my youth. I currently like to wear my Sinn Automatik or one of the FineWatchesBerlin prototypes, which are real examples of craftsmanship and are truly unique.
W: My first Chronoswiss comes to mind – a Christmas gift in the late 1980s. A tiny watch by today's standards, 34mm in diameter, with a manual winding movement and complete calendar, although back then that was very much a common size for a men's watch. At the time, Chronoswiss still used old refurbished mechanisms. Apart from the onion crown, it in no way resembles the Regulateur Series that would go on to be so successful. A certain Mr Miller was responsible for distribution, and the whole collection fit into a small briefcase. His main source of income was the sale of wonderful Sattler wall clocks. A very nice reminder of an exciting time.
W: I think our customers have broad interests, a good, steady income, are reasonably well-educated and predominantly male. Our customers have well-structured lives and love clarity of form but also appreciate precise details. They don't feel like they have to distinguish themselves through swanky appearances or brands. They appreciate good quality and clean workmanship; they love functionality. They are very interested in the new and very open to innovative ideas. When they are passionate about something, they can become almost evangelical about it. They stick to what is tried and true. They are very loyal, and interested in technology as well as art, music and culture. They don't feel the need to prove themselves, instead preferring understatement. They are perhaps somewhat elitist. They stay within their limits, but exist outside the mainstream. They are less interested in the opinion of the majority, instead seeking the approval and recognition of their peers. Our customers have a high level of self-awareness and self-confidence, are goal-oriented and focused.
M-P: Our customers are of all ages. Our first customers were in their mid-twenties, late fifties, and early sixties. Our graphic designer's son is 13 and he is totally fascinated by our watches, even wearing one himself, while my father's godson is 16 and posts photos of our watches together with his newest sneakers on Facebook and Instagram.
What are you interested in besides the watch business?
M-P: It's the same for me as well – there's a fluidity between my work and my private interests. I also teach yoga once a week, and have been practicing it for a while too. A couple of years ago, I set up a cultural association with some friends, which I am very active in, both musically and with my sewing machine, as well as in all organizational matters.
M-P: Stimulation and ideas can be found almost anywhere, as long as you remain open and interested. 'Through my various artistic activities, I am in contact with many exceptionally creative people.'In the rooms of KreativMolkereiSpandau I am surrounded by all sorts of musicians, illustrators, painters, sculptors and fashion designers every day. Through my work in a large jewellery business, I am in contact with consumers as well as with many watch and jewellery manufacturers.
W: I have long been active in the watch and jewellery industries, including as a goldsmith designing and crafting my own jewellery line, and this connection has never been broken. I am very active online and observe what the newcomers, microbrands, and design-oriented brands are doing. This means I'm very up to date. I am also always inspired by my engagement with the Bauhaus and their products. In general, I am fascinated by all kinds of form and design. A well-designed motorbike or bicycle excites me just as much as a beautiful lamp or "tiny house". My eyes are always attracted to high quality design.
M-P: Exactly – whether in the cinema, on Netflix, in nature or in museums, inspiration exists everywhere.
Where do you see your brand in future?
W: In the first couple of years it is important to establish ourselves in the marketplace. We will continue to take care of our key customers and then see what other areas we would like to expand into.
M-P: We will not and do not want to become a big player or mass brand. Our focus is to create beautiful watches for design lovers, and it will stay that way.
W: My feeling is that the brand will grow organically from within. What I mean by that is that our "ideal customer" will slowly but surely help promote brand awareness in their personal, professional and cultural lives. From the beginning, we have noticed that people who like our concept and products are very willing to independently engage themselves on the brand's behalf.
Do you have new watch designs in the pipeline?
W: The planning process for a number of new models is actually complete. Our next move will be to produce one or two new dial variants for the TEUFELSBERG range, and perhaps also a more exclusive version, depending on how sales progress.
M-P: Our basic idea is to expand on the TEUFELSBERG line as our main collection and create additional independent product lines. We would like to develop a watch with a slightly smaller diameter and perhaps also a small women's or unisex watch.
W: We are also toying with the idea of special models with limited or numbered editions. But our initial focus is on establishing FWB on the market.
What was most difficult thing for you when first building your watch brand?
W: Personally, the challenge began with making our product known in the marketplace. Prior to that – although there were still a lot of challenges – almost everything was more fluid, with one thing following on from another… But the moment our watches arrived at our distribution center – it became suddenly clear that there was no going back! The watches had become a reality.
M-P: Yeah, you're right – it is a real challenge to position a new brand on the market. Although it is also obviously the dream of everyone in marketing to be there from the beginning, when a new brand emerges – especially if you were involved in the development of the product. It's also important not to forget that it really is my own baby. I also think that we did a lot of good preparation work, and the response from customers, the press and industry experts has been very encouraging.
What would you suggest to someone thinking of bringing their own watch brand onto the market?
W: It always depends on what your intentions are with the brand. It is essential to take your time to develop the overall concept, and to establish a financial and temporal buffer to make this possible. You also have to be prepared to throw everything out and start again.
M-P: My view is that it is essential to secure support and assistance from experts for every step along the way. Sometimes you can get a bit carried away in your own head, and so feedback from industry experts is really important. At the same time, you also have to be careful who you consult with, because experts also pursue their own interests.
W: Along with good planning, I also think that it is essential to listen to your gut. Your plans and ideas can only be so good on their own – if it doesn't feel good, it will be tough.
Now let's take a look at the watch as it is a stunner! The watch we are gonna look at today is the Teufelsberg with black dial. The Teufelsberg comes in three variations: Black dial, White dial and Silver dial. But the one I like the most is what we have here in for a review. The name of the watch Teufelsberg (German for Devil's Mountain) comes from a man-made hill in Berlin, Germany, in the Grunewald locality of former West Berlin. Very interesting name choice, but I like it. You can read about the history of that place here, it is a very interesting place with some history.
The Teufelsberg comes in a very nice wooden box. Reminded me of the Vejrhoj packaging actually. The bo is nicely signed with FineWatchesBerlin logo. Inside the box, you will find your warranty card, spare strap in a different colour and of course the watch. Wilfried was very kind and put me a little present with the watch: a very nice FineWatchesBerlin keychain which is on my keys from the first day when I got one. It looks like I have a couple of watch company keychains for each of my key sets, haha. The first impressions were good. The case design actually reminded me of the Nomos Tangente, the Teufelsberg just has that Bauhaus design a little bit too. I also like what they did with the Miyota 8218 which has some interesting things changed on the looks, but about that later as no one has done it before. So let's dive in!
The case of the Teufelsberg is made of 316L stainless steel. The case is very well machined with nice and sharp lines. The case is finished in a high polish which is also done very well. The case is round with some and small, but long lugs. Overall the watch has really nice proportions. The diameter is 40mm, the thickness is 11mm and from lug to lug it measures at 49mm. The watch itself actually in real life looks a bit bigger than it is due to those long lugs, but it still wears like any other 40mm watch. I actually like when companies do watches in smaller sizes like 38-40mm. I always liked bigger watches as I have big wrists, but in recent years I have fallen in love with smaller sized watches as they look better and are more wearable. On the right side of the case we have a push-pull crown which has the FineWatchesBerlin logo in colour. The crown is very easy to operate as it is in just the right size, not too big or small. On the left side of the case, we have the FineWatchesBerlin name engraved, in my opinion, it is a bit of an overkill with the branding and that is probably the only thing I maybe dislike about the watch. Where we have the lugs we have some decorative blued screws so it looks like the strap is held in place with screws, but in reality, straps are held in place with spring bars, but nonetheless, I like that blue accent, looks cool! I also like how thin is the bezel line so the dial looks bigger and you can read time more easily! The exhibition case back is another great touch to display the customized Miyota movement. The case back is held by 6 small screws which is a German thing in watchmaking, they all seem to use screws and not more or less than 6! The crystal in the case back is a flat sapphire just like on the front. The watch is water resistant to 50M (5ATM) which is more than you need for a dressy watch like this! But I advise you not to swim with it as it isn't designed for that!
The dial on the Teufelsberg is very simple in my opinion and I like it. In my opinion, the watch needs to be functional as it's main thing is to tell time, but FineBerlinWatches also made it so it looks good and also functional! The dial is matte black with applied hour indices and a nice FWB logo which actually is very well designed, saying it as a graphic designer myself! Around the dial, we have a very subtle blue line with a white printed minute track. For each hour we have a lume dot so you can read the time also in the darker hours. Between 4 and 5 o'clock, we have a small seconds subdial in white with red seconds hand which gives a nice detail to the dial and a little depth to it too. The stick hour and minute hands with sharp ends have polished finishing with some lume applied in the middle. The lume isn't the strongest one but works fine for 3-4 hours which is more than enough. The dial overall is pretty well designed and very legible in the day just as in the dark.
Now we come to the most interesting part of this watch in my opinion as nobody, in my opinion, has ever done it to these movements. So inside the Teufelsberg sits a Miyota 8218. A very reliable and robust movement that works pretty great. It is an automatic movement with 42 hours power reserve, has 21 jewels and beats at 21,600 bph and it has decent Geneva line finishing on the top of the movement. Nothing out of a usual right? So what's so special about the movement you would ask? Well, Wilfried went an extra step with this, they changed all the visible screws with an actual real blued screws. He told me that it took him more than 2 months to find a fitting supplier and who could manage that. I only could imagine how much this costs. And on top of that, he put a customized skeletonized rotor with gold colour engraving "From Berlin With Love" which is a really cool touch! An I definitely think it was all worth it as the movement looks a million times better than seeing a regular Miyota in there.
With the Teufelsberg you get two straps. Mine watch came on a black strap with nice blue stitching matching the accents on the watch. and also it came with the same style strap but in brown leather and with the same blue stitching. All the straps are signed with the FWB logo on the top and underside. The leather is really nice to touch and the straps are very supple so the watch will sit on the wrist nicely right out of the box. The underside of the straps is lined with this beige soft material so it doesn't irritate your wrists. I also have to mention that all the straps are handmade. The tang style buckles are made of stainless steel and have matching polished finishing. Also, the buckles are signed with the round FWB logo which another nice touch. And the last thing that I have to mention is the built-in quick release spring bars! I just love when companies put them in the straps as it makes the strap change super easy and you don't risk scratching your watch with the spring bar removal tool.
Overall the watch is great! I have been wearing it for the past month more times than any other watch I have for the test. I have taken it to my watch meets and the guys there with Rolexes, Pateks, Hublots etc. in their collection were asking me about this watch and especially admiring the blued screws and rotor on the movement. Of course, for a great watch you need to pay money and this one doesn't come as cheap as you've maybe expected it to be, the watch costs 698€ which a lot for the specifications, but you must understand that the company is independent and it takes a lot of work to come to this point. Also for that price, I think you get a very unique and very well made watch. Look at it, you get a nice and legible dial, sapphire crystal on front and back, automatic Japan-made movement with some custom work with those blued screws and rotor, two very nice handmade leather straps and overall a good looking German designed watch! Do I recommend it? ….Yes!
