Bathys Hawaii Lava Expedition

On March 8th, 2008 I joined G Brad Lewis on a trip to visit the active lava flow near Volcanoes National Park on The Big Island of Hawaii.
Our main purpose was to give an offering of a 100 Fathom watch to Pele...she accepted. We also took the opportunity to test the heat resistance of several of our timepieces.

Aloha everyone - thanks for your comments. I am currently in Basel getting ready for the Baselworld Fair and if you would like to examine these timepieces in person, they will be on display in my stand in Hall 5.1 / A33.

More of these "tests" are planned - extreme depth, extreme altitude, extreme cold, etc. We would like to do videos for each of these conditions.

As many of you know, before we started Bathys production, we left a prototype strapped to a sea cage at 40 meters for 500 hours.

I ask that as a Bathys fan BTW. I've got two of them, but I'm more likely to abuse them in the water than in lava. ;)

Good fun none-the-less. Those guys at WUS have zero since of humor.

So they can withstand lava, but what about water? ;)

And how come we only saw one movement? How about the dials?
