September 28, 2025, Dhaka, Bangladesh: The dockyard, or shipyard, associated with Sadarghat in Dhaka is a busy industrial area located on the Buriganga River, primarily involved in the repair and maintenance of ships and vessels. It is a place where you can see workers repairing vessels and where activities like welding, metal cutting, and painting take place. While Sadarghat itself is a major river port, the adjacent dockyard or shipyard is the facility where ships are brought for servicing and upkeep.

La Watch Box est un écrin haut de gamme pour vos montres de luxe
Pictures must credit: L’Epee 1839 Here’s an expensive handmade box designed to show off high end time pieces. The fully mechanical Watch Box even has a lift which raises a timepiece out at the press of a button. But is does not come cheap with a retail price of 9’900 Swiss francs / €10.485 euros The box has been developed by Swiss clock maker L’Epee. A spokesperson described it as a “ VIP lounge for your timepiece. The Watch Box measures 215 x 150 x 140 mm and weighs 3.4 kg. It is crafted out of stainless steel, acrylics, glass, and microfibre, with the metal parts polished, sand-blasted, satin-finished and lacquered. The result is a clear housing with an elevated black fabric pad to hold the watch in the middle of a self-powering mechanism. When a button is pressed, the Box opens the case and the wristwatch is raised out for display or retrieval. When the cover is closed, it resets and rewinds the mechanism, so no manual winding is needed. Picture supplied by JLPPA

Barnard Castle toasts its famous silver swan as museum seeks money for repair
As mechanical bird's 250th anniversary arrives, time and lack of regular use in lockdowns has taken toll.
When the Bowes Museum has funding, it hopes the public will be able to see the swan being restored live.
Understandably, because it is 250 years old, the mechanical silver swan of Barnard Castle is not quite at its best.
The silver swan is a star of the Bowes Museum, an 18th-century French chateau in Teesdale containing magnificent art, ceramics, furniture and other items collected by John and Joséphine Bowes.
The swan was created by the silversmith James Cox and its fans would say it is one of the most fabulous examples of automata anywhere in the world, on a par with Cox's peacock clock in the Hermitage, St Petersburg.
Before the pandemic the swan would be wound up to spring to life at 2pm every day. It brought crowds and gasps. But age and the lack of regular use during lockdowns means the swan is today more a sculpture than an automaton and needs restoration.

Understandably, because it is 250 years old, the mechanical silver swan of Barnard Castle is not quite at its best.
The silver swan is a star of the Bowes Museum, an 18th-century French chateau in Teesdale containing magnificent art, ceramics, furniture and other items collected by John and Joséphine Bowes.
The swan was created by the silversmith James Cox and its fans would say it is one of the most fabulous examples of automata anywhere in the world, on a par with Cox's peacock clock in the Hermitage, St Petersburg.
Before the pandemic the swan would be wound up to spring to life at 2pm every day. It brought crowds and gasps. But age and the lack of regular use during lockdowns means the swan is today more a sculpture than an automaton and needs restoration.

Barnard Castle toasts its famous silver swan as museum seeks money for repair
As mechanical bird's 250th anniversary arrives, time and lack of regular use in lockdowns has taken toll.
When the Bowes Museum has funding, it hopes the public will be able to see the swan being restored live.
