NFP's Reaction Mixed on Labor's Commitment to Mental Health
27 July 2010 at 4:39 pm
Primary health care organisations have welcomed the Federal Government’s election commitment to invest of $276.9m into additional mental health services but the Australian of the Year, Prof Patrick McGorry has slammed the announcement.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced the mental health funding package in a speech to the Community Economic Development Association in Brisbane.
However, Prof McGorry is reported as saying the commitment is just a drop in the ocean and does not reflect the blueprint the sector put to the Prime Minister before the election was called.
The Australian General Practice Network says it’s about time all political parties started focusing on primary health care and the benefits a strong, integrated system can bring to the community, particularly in areas such as primary mental health care.
AGPN Spokesperson, Dr Emil Djakic says the election commitment is a comprehensive package of primary mental health initiatives which builds on the evidence of what the sector knows already works and makes good use of the future Primary Health Care Organisations (PHCOs – called Medicare Locals) which are to evolve from the general practice network.
Funding commitments include:
• the additional $22.9m for the Access to Allied Psychological Services (ATAPS) program, delivered through PHCOs
• a further $22m for specialist psychiatric services, purchased through PHCOs
• from a funding pool of $60m PHCOs will be able to expand the Personal Helpers and Mentors Program, one of three non-clinical support services available within this funding arrangement
• the expansion of the mental health program for young people through Kidsmatter, to the tune of $19.6m
• the additional $24m for children with mental health and development issues, in which PHCOs can purchase psychological services at a community based level for local families
Chris Tanti, the CEO of the counselling service 'headspace' says the Prime Minister's proposed comprehensive package of measures to tackle suicide and promote better mental health will make a significant impact on the lives of many Australians, particularly young people and those at risk of taking their own lives.
Tanti says the new measures proposed by the Federal Government are an important step towards dealing with the difficulties being experienced by young Australians and applauds the inclusion of $22.3 million to boost online mental health and counselling services.
'Headspace' runs a Federally-funded pilot online counselling service in Western Australia – eheadspace – that provides young people with access to support if they are unable to uncertain about face-to-face mental health support.
Part of the Gillard Government's commitment is to invest $113.9 million to provide more frontline services in the community for people with severe mental illness.
Commencing in July next year, The Federal Government says the investment will include:
- $22.9 million to provide psychological counselling services for around 12,500 people each year who have attempted or are at risk of suicide, to help reduce repeated attempts at suicide.
- $22 million to improve access to specialist psychiatry services in the community for people with severe mental illness, by providing around 20,000 specialist psychiatry sessions in the community each year.
- $60 million to boost access to support services for the severely mentally ill. Examples include structured social activity, assistance with managing day to day activities, and critically – respite for carers of people with severe mental illness.
Opposition leader, Tony Abbott has already announced a Liberal election commitment of a $1.5 billion boost to the mental health sector, including 80 mental health treatment centres across Australia.

“Here is a thing everyone wants:
Here is a thing everyone fears:
What it takes to get one.”
As you all know by now, I am a huge Maggie Stiefvater fan. She is one of my favorite authors of all time, and I think her writing is gorgeous. So you can imagine that All the Crooked Saints is my most anticipated release of the year. I knew nothing about it going in, but I knew I was going to love it. There’s something about Maggie’s writing that makes me instantly fall in love with her books. This one was no different. Let’s talk about all the great things about All the Crooked Saints, and some not so great things about it.
This is a story about the Soria family, who are Saints, and who perform miracles on the pilgrims to come to their home, located in the town of Bicho Raro, Colorado. The story focuses mostly on the Soria cousins: Beatriz, who is a extremly logical person, stuck in her thoughts, Daniel, who is the Saint of Bicho Raro, and Joaquin who is an aspiring pirate radio DJ.
No one writes quite like Maggie. She writes with ease and finesse, and ends up producing the most gorgeous sentences. Her writing is complex and lyrical, but for me personally, it never feels strained or artificial. There’s a organic ease in her writing. When you read her books, there’s a specific feeling she creates and that is the feeling of everything being exactly where it is. Every word feels carefully selected and everything feels so in sync. I read parts of this out loud to myself, and there’s a certain music to the writing, the tone feels very musical. I would love to reread this as an audiobook, because Maggie’s books sound amazing when read out loud.
This is in part because of her writing, but no one, again, creates atmosphere like Maggie. The way she writes magic is something that I love in Raven Cycle, and it’s something that I love in All the Crooked Saints. Maggie’s writing is very whimsical, so the settings she create breathe whimsy and magic. The town of Bicho Raro is full of pilgrims who have different manifestations of their darkness. There’s a priest with a coyote head, twins who are bound together by a vicious snake and a man who grows moss all over his body. It’s weird and curious, but it was really enthralling to read about. I loved the overall premise of it, of these people coming to the Soria family for miracles, but not being fully able to come to terms with their darkness, so they remain there, and Bicho Raro becomes a sort of wayward home to them. Really enjoyed that.
I am not sure this is what it was meant to be, but the darkness that all of the people have inside them feels sort of like mental health issues. And the fact that they come to life and take a physical form and sort of follow around the pilgrims, is very reminiscent of the way mental illness feels to people. It’s like a living thing that you can’t shake off. I maybe reading into it a bit, but that’s how it felt to me, and I really enjoyed that.
I really enjoyed the cast of characters in this book. There were a lot of really intriguing characters, and although there was no room for all of them to be really fully fleshed out and developed, I still enjoyed the idea of them. I will say that the only character I felt completely connected to and emotionally attached to was Beatriz. I felt very connected both to her as a character, and to her family dynamic. Beatriz’s family is something I could really understand and the dynamic between her and her parents and all of them was something that really made my enjoyment of the book a lot greater.
I will point out that some of the characters felt a tad one-dimensional, but I feel like they were done the most justice that the number of pages allowed.
The Time Period
I have to say that I think the time period was managed poorly. This is set in the 60’s but I feel like it could have been set at any time. There’s very little to convey the time period, other than the radio (which is prominent to the story) and the brief mentions of music. If you’ve read The Raven Cycle then you know that it has this ancient feel to it. It’s just how Stiefvater writes. This is true to this story as well, but there wasn’t a lot of stuff to really make you feel like you were in that time period. I just don’t think that was done really well.
Finally, there was a major controversy surrounding the release of this book. Basically, this is a book about Latin American culture and people written by a white author. A lot of people were upset about that, and the book got a lot of negative reviews before anyone even read it, which I don’t think is fair. However, I do completely see the problem people had with that. An author who is white decided to take a story that sort of isn’t hers to tell, so it’s completely understandable that people whose story that in fact is felt angry about it.
I feel like representation and diversity in books by non-diverse authors is a double-edged sword. On one hand, you want to include everyone in the book, but on the other hand, you risk writing something harmful and not great. So it’s a thing that you have to approach mindfully, carefully and respectfully.
I personally feel that Maggie didn’t write something that is blatantly stereotypical or offensive. This felt well researched to me, and it felt like she tried to make it as good as she could. She had sensitivity readers and other people who helped her before and during the writing process. So I don’t think that she put out something that is bad in terms of representation. I did, however, feel that this was written by an outsider. It didn’t feel as natural as I imagine it would be if someone who is Latinx would have written it.
As I am by no means an expert on the subject, nor should I be the judge here, I am linking you to two reviews (the only two I managed to find) by Latinx reviewers on this book. I would really like it if you read them, so you can form your opinion on the book with them in mind. You can find them HERE and HERE.
With all of the above in consideration, I personally enjoyed the book a lot. I read it in two sittings, I liked the premise and the overall plot a lot, and I was completely in love with the writing.
Final verdict: 4 stars
I would love it if you shared your thoughts on the book if you have read it. If you are a Latinx reviewer who has read and reviewed this, I would especially like to hear from you, and I would encourage you to share your thoughts in the comments (and send me links to your reviews so I can include them in my post!).

Franz SCHUBERT (1797-1828)
String Quintet in C major, D956 (1828) [58:48]
Kuss Quartet (Jana Kuss (1st violin); Oliver Wille (2nd violin); William Coleman (viola); Mikayel Hakhnazaryan (cello)); Miklós Perényi (cello)
rec. 18-20 December 2012, Leonhard-Gläser Saal der Siegerlandhalle, Siegen, Germany
ONYX 4119 [55:48]
This is a recording taken from a radio broadcast made by Westdeutscher Rundfunk, Cologne in 2012. The last foray the Kuss made into Schubert’s music on disc was the String Quartet No. 15 in G major coupled with the Berg String Quartet, Op. 3; their debut release on Onyx. Recorded in 2010 at the Siemens Villa, Berlin this Schubert/Berg recording I have played a number of times.
Musicologist David Ewen in his ‘The Complete Book of Classical Music’ [Pub: 1965, Prentice-Hall] described the String Quintet D956 as “as one of the most pessimistic documents all chamber music”. The mood of dark foreboding comes as no surprise as the work was written in 1828 during the final couple of months of Schubert’s life. Just a few days after completing the score it seems that Schubert, accompanied by his brother and some friends, walked a considerable distance to Eisenstadt to visit Haydn’s tomb. Schubert’s choice of instrumentation using two violins, viola and two cellos was unusual and he may well have been influenced by what Boccherini had done a number of decades earlier in 1771 with his opus 11 set of six string quintets.
The record catalogue contains a substantial number of recordings of the C major Quintet and of those that I have come to know there are five that I particularly admire. My steadfast first choice is the superbly refined and intensely passionate account from the Alban Berg Quartet augmented by cellist Heinrich Schiff. This was recorded in 1982 at Seon, Switzerland on EMI Classics (5 66890 2). Next the alert and sensitive account from the Takács Quartet assisted by the same additional cellist Miklós Perényi recorded in 1991 at Crouch End, London for Decca. The Lindsay Quartet with the service of extra cellist Douglas Cummings offer an intense 1985 account that gives a realistic sense of a live performance that has been re-issued on Sanctuary Classics Resonance. I found it hard not to be moved by the splendidly played and expressive 2007 Berlin account from the Artemis Quartet bolstered by the services of cellist Truls Mørk on Virgin Classics. In addition there is the impressively played and highly passionate account by the Belcea Quartet with cellist Valentin Erben recorded in 2009 at Potton Hall, Suffolk for EMI Classics.
I enjoyed this performance of the C major Quintet from Kuss Quartet and Miklós Perényi. They come across as a highly committed group playing the work with evident integrity. However, when comparisons are done with some of the many excellent alternative accounts the differences in performance excellence become apparent and here the Kuss struggle. Compared to the Alban Berg with Schiff the Kuss do not display the same level of expressive power, security of control and sheer weight of sound. The disparity is especially marked in the massive opening movement Allegro ma non troppo where the Kuss cannot match the Berg’s indescribable beauty contrasted with the impressive dramatic tension. The substantial Adagio,one of the glories of all chamber music, although creditably done does not convey the intense depth of emotion to the same extent. More fluidity is needed in the Scherzo and the Finale: Allegretto is certainly not played as tidily as I had expected. Recorded for radio broadcast in 2012 at the Leonhard-Gläser Saal der Siegerlandhalle, Siegen the Kuss sound quality is acceptable without being as satisfying overall as any of the competing accounts mentioned above.

Arguably the greatest footballer of the modern era, Lionel Messi has carved out a niche for himself. There are very few feats in football that has been untouched by the Argentine great. He had captivated Barcelona fans for over 15 years now with his unmatched skills on the pitch — be it his electric pace, otherworldly dribble, or his numerous goalscoring records. Messi has recorded over 1000 combined goals and assists under his name. He is also the owner of six Ballon d’Or and six golden shoes amongst a plethora of other honours.
Messi has won record 34 titles with Barcelona, including 10 La Liga, 4 UEFA Champions League, 7 Copa del Rey, 3 Club World Cups among others.From his unmatched 91 goals in 2012 to his first hat-trick against bitter rival Real Madrid; here are just 5 iconic moments from Lionel Messi’s career:
91 goals in 2012
In the year 2012, Messi did the impossible as he went past German great Gerd Muller’s 40-year-old record for the most number of goals in a single calendar year – 85. Messi achieved the feat in an away game against Real Betis. He went on to score 91 goals in that year.Messi scored 59 goals in La Liga, 13 Champions League, 5 in Copa del Rey, 2 in the Supercopa and 12 for Argentina.
Record sixth Ballon d’Or in 2019
In the year 2019, Messi won his record sixth Ballon d’Or by beating his long time rival Cristiano Ronaldo and Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk. The prestigious trophy rounded off an almost perfect year for Messi. He won La Liga, the European Golden Shoe and was the leading goal scorer in the Champions League (12) among other achievements.
Messi’s first hat-trick in El Clásico
In 2007, Messi announced his arrival on the big stage by netting a breathtaking hat-trick against Barcelona’s arch-rivals Real Madrid in a La Liga game. It was also Messi’s first-ever hat-trick.
Mesmerising solo effort against Getafe
In 2006-07 season, Barcelona took on Getafe in Copa Del Rey and the 19-year-old Argentine in that match wriggled past five players to slot home from a very tight angle. The goal was almost a carbon copy of the famous Diego Maradona goal that he scored against England in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.
4 goals against Arsenal
In 2010, Messi produced one of the most dominating performances of his career as he netted all four goals for Barcelona in their thumping 4-1 win over Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal in the Champions League.Following his brilliant display, Messi earned a rare ‘perfect 10’ from the French football experts L’Equipe.
Messi’s iconic Bernabeu Celebration
This was one of the iconic moments in the history of football. In a crunch El Clasico match, Lionel Messi silenced a raucous Santiago Bernabeu by scoring a stoppage time winner and put Barcelona on the top of the table and whip off his No 10 shirt and held it aloft to the away support. Marcelo fell to the turf, Cristiano Ronaldo raged, Madrid fans held their heads in hands as Messi stood still as a statue.
✅ A dramatic late winner.✅ An iconic celebration. #OnThisDay in 2017, Messi was decisive in #ElClasico at the Santiago Bernabeu! 💙🌟❤#LaLigaSantander pic.twitter.com/b6UFmC7pGt— LaLiga English (@LaLigaEN) April 23, 2021
Breaking Pele’s record
Messi further cemented his spot as an all-time great last year after he went past Brazilian legends Pele’s record for the most goals scored for a single club. Messi achieved this incredible feat in his 749th appearance for Barcelona against Real Valladolid. Pele has netted 643 goals Santos between 1956 and 1974.
At present, Messi has scored 672 goals for the Spanish powerhouse in 778 appearances.

So for the past year or so, my enthusiasm towards this site has kind of waned somewhat. It’s not a quick process, writing a post, trying to make it entertaining and informative, taking pictures, uploading pictures- the whole process will usually take me a good few hours. And then I only get a few clicks on the site for that post, and it’s more than a little disheartening. I can’t help but feel like “what’s the point of putting my time and effort into a post, when no-one will read it?”
I’ve noticed that over time, I do have more and more people visiting the site, but they aren’t people who are going to want to read my stuff because they find it entertaining, or really have any intention of ever revisiting my site again. They are here because I’m a source of information, in the sense that I have covered obscure toys nobody else has covered on the internet. And that’s nice, as part of the reason that I made this site was to kind of “celebrate” all of the nostalgic and obscure plastic crap that no-one else talks about. But at the same time, I see the communities built by content creators on modern platforms like YouTube, and remember the days of websites like X-entertainment, where people would “tune in” for a weekly post by Matt Caracappa, and I do feel that this isn’t the platform I envisioned in that respect. I receive no feedback apart from the occasional comment saying “thanks for posting about _______”, and that’s nice. But when I do post, I feel like I’m stood on a stage, in a massive hall, talking excitedly about Mighty Max, or some obscure old video game themed toy, and my voice echoes throughout the hall, which is completely empty perhaps with the exception of a lone janitor sweeping or mopping off in the distance.
I have long since accepted that blogs are no longer the platform to really build communities these days (especially where old video games and toys are concerned), and don’t expect the comments to suddenly fill with chatter in the near future, with folks talking about their own fond memories of specific toylines and video games and things, perhaps pointing me in the direction of interesting stuff that I have never heard of. So I have decided to focus my efforts on this site into new and different directions.
I’m going to make this site a lot more personal to me. That’s not to say that I’m not going to still passionately talk about old toys or anything, but I might also venture into others avenues of things that I haven’t necessarily gotten into before.
I love video games, so might cover those a little more often on here, and might post about any interesting finds or “bargains” I have found online from time to time. But I’m definitely going to use this platform as a kind of way for me to look back on interesting places I discovered, or events I visited, just because I don’t feel like I am getting the most out of this website. Every year I fork out for the domain name again, as well as paying WordPress to host this site, and apart from learning how to formulate sentences a little better (which has opened up opportunities outside of this site) I sometimes can’t help but wonder, was it even worth it? I mean, I like that people can find out about ‘bootleg’ Street Fighter II micro playsets or whatever, but does the amount I fork out every year equate to the satisfaction gained from knowing that I’ve effectively helped someone remember an old toy from the their childhood? I’m not sure it does.
So essentially, if I focus on other things like how I discovered a well-hidden arcade/bar called Super Bario in Glasgow, or I want to vent to no-one in particular about my frustrations with arsehole eBay customers/sellers or anything, then perhaps I will feel that my money spent on this site will have been a little more worth it then.
Anyway, that’s my moaning thoughts over for now. And any folks that do visit from time to time, I do appreciate you stopping by. Drop me a comment now and then if you liked something in particular!

I’m sorry I don’t comment that often, but I’m quite looking forward to seeing where you take things from here.
I hope you’re able to find your passion for this again, I think branching out, making it more personal to you, will be beneficial.

Haha thank you! I hope I didn’t come across as ungrateful. It just gets to a point where I’m just unsure if anyone’s actually enjoying anything I’m writing! Since bitching in that post, my friend sent me a video of a site he’s an editor of, which has thousands of views every year, and they barely get any comments or interactions either, with most interactions occurring on Facebook or other social media. I don’t really use social media that much for this site, so perhaps that’s why I feel like I’m not getting interactions. I only just realised that I have more subscribers than I had initally thought, so that was heartening to see! But deffo think branching out would make things feel less of a chore anyway, and will hopefully allow me to feel less constrained with what I post!
I appreciate the support though! And thank you for following this site ever since its inception! 🙂

Chapel Hill expert says bad habits may be protecting you from emotional pain
Trouble keeping New Year's resolutions? Chapel Hill expert shares six certain steps can help.
It happens every year: on January 1 you’re full of resolve to lose weight, drink less, save more money or quit smoking. But before long you’ve slipped back into the same old habits you vowed to change.
That’s because these habits are defense mechanisms that help protect you from various types of emotional pain says Joe Burgo, top national psychology blogger and author of Why Do I Do That? Psychological Defense Mechanisms and the Hidden Ways They Shape Our Lives.
Going on a weight-loss diet, for example, might bring out a greater awareness of unmet sexual and emotional needs. Giving up smoking might reveal anxiety or depression, and cutting back on drinking takes away the potent emotional pain killer alcohol provides.
If you are not prepared to cope with the potential frustration, longing, sadness or other feelings that will come up when you make these changes, you won’t be able to stick with your New Year's resolutions for very long.
Certain steps can help to stick with New Year's Resolutions, Joe says:
. Give thought to what lies behind the habit you’re trying to break before making a resolution.
. Try viewing bad habits as “friends” that distract you from pain, and take the time to consider how you’ll cope without them.
. Develop a set of coping strategies and find alternate sources of comfort that address the pain rather than mask it.
. Set realistic goals and take small steps, allowing yourself the time to adjust to the emotions that will arise.
. Don’t go it alone: Find a partner to share and reinforce your efforts. Consider joining a support group or starting individual therapy.
Joseph Burgo, Ph.D., has practiced psychotherapy for more than 30 years and is the author of the new book, Why Do I Do That? Psychological Defense Mechanisms and the Hidden Ways They Shape Our Lives.

In Forensic investigations, the quality of the DNA samples plays a crucial role in identification applications and an insufficient sample from a crime scene could compromise the whole investigation. As forensic DNA laboratories experience higher demand to process large numbers of evidence samples, having enough quantity of DNA for downstream DNA identification applications becomes vital.
Using Copan Flocked Swabs as the key component of the 4N6 DNA Swab line, Copan created a collection system that is easy to use and it is ideal for collection of DNA evidence at crime scenes or from suspects and victims for collection of buccal swabs samples or blood stains. The patented technology behind the Flocked Swabs consists of sprayed-on Nylon® fibers arranged in a uniform perpendicular fashion. This fiber arrangement results in tremendous capillary hydraulics that rapidly absorbs evidence for efficient sampling of even places where the amount of sample is limited. The superior release of the Flocked Swabs compared to traditional fiber swabs becomes critical when the sample is scarce. By recovering over 90% of the evidence using Copan unique Nylon® 4N6 Flocked Swab, assay sensitivity increases and DNA recovery is maximized.
Convenient kit format for collection of DNA evidence at crime scenes or from suspects and victims. Can be used for collection of buccal swab samples and blood stains. Simply collect, snap and ship.

All frontline health workers in Reg. 9 receive COVID jab
All frontline healthcare workers in Region Nine (Upper Takutu-Essequibo) have been vaccinated against the deadly coronavirus, according to Minister of Health, Dr Frank Anthony.
This means that Region Nine is now the first region to acquire 100% immunisation status for frontline health workers. This is followed closely by Regions Two and Six, where a large percentage of frontline healthcare workers have already been vaccinated.
“In both [regions] Two and Six, they have about 70 something per cent of their healthcare workers who have been immunised…others are a little bit lagging so we have to pick up in those areas,” the minister said.
A region that is of concern for the ministry is Region Ten, where persons are a bit reluctant to get vaccinated. As of Monday, March 22, a total of 20, 470 Guyanese have been vaccinated with approximately 2,000 immunisation per day. In addition to frontline healthcare workers, Guyana is also vaccinating persons over the age of 60.
The government is also working to increase vaccination sites across to country to ensure every citizen is protected. Meanwhile, as more vaccines become available, the ministry will be looking at different ways of prioritising other groups of persons to be vaccinated, especially persons living in Regions Eight and Nine.
Regions Eight and Nine is grappling with illegal border crossings from neighbouring Brazil, one of the worst struck countries in the world by the virus. Reuters on Tuesday reported that Brazil alone has had more than 295,000 deaths from COVID-19 and more than 12 million cases of the virus.
A new variant of the virus known as P1 also originated from Brazil late last year. Experts say this variant is more contagious and has now been detected in 15 countries in the Americas and become a major cause for concern.
Dr Anthony stated that there are surveillance teams in both Regions Eight and Nine to monitor persons who may have crossed the border illegally.
“That is something that we have to keep monitoring, we have set up surveillance network in the Rupununi and in Region Eight to detect any persons that would cross and based on that, to also offer testing to them, so that we can detect whether or not people are coming over if they are positive,” the minister explained.

Man gets arrested selling drugs with an ex- Boston Bruins Player Kevin Stevens
In the world of hockey a crime was caught in action. A man from Massachusetts was arrested for trying to sell drugs with a former Boston Bruins player. The drugs they were trying to sell were pain killers. In no time, the man Christopher Alonardo was sentenced to more than a year in federal prison for this scheme. The NHL player is named Kevin Stevens who played for the Boston Bruin and was sentenced this month with three years probation.
His lawyer stated that Stevens had been using oxycodone which was given to him in 1993 after a bad injury on the ice. Stevens’s lawyer also said Stevens had been addicted to drugs for a long time. With all of this being said, hopefully these two learn that you will eventually get caught in a scheme that is illegal.
Stevens played for the Boston Bruins during the 1995-96 season, he is primarily known as a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins and has two Stanley Cup championships on his resume. In his 17-year career Stevens played in 874 games, with 726 career points. From the 1991-92 season to the 1992-93 season he was a top NHL goal scorer with 54 goals and 55 goals respectively and in 91 he amassed 123 points in 80 games played for the Penguins.
For the Bruins in the 95-96 season, Stevens played in 41 games recording 10 goals and 12 assists before being traded to the Los Angeles Kings.


Eiichi Hiraya(Movement designer of Grand Seiko Caliber 9RA5/9RA2, Seiko Epson Corporation)
5 DaysCaliber 9RA5/9RA2
The spirit of TAKUMI
In 2020, the 60th anniversary of Grand Seiko’s creation, the proprietary Spring Drive mechanism took another step forward in the form of a next-generation movement, Caliber 9RA5/9RA2. It was the creation of expert technicians at the Shinshu Watch Studio, who have taken the Grand Seiko ideals of “accuracy, legibility and beauty” to a new higher level of perfection.
Caliber 9RA delivers an accuracy rate of ±10 seconds per month and, despite being slim, has a power reserve of 5 days. Furthermore, the movement’s appearance has been painstakingly finished to reflect both its quality and the area from which it comes. “The ideal we aimed for was to create the best Spring Drive movement,” says Eiichi Hiraya who was responsible for Caliber Caliber 9RA’s design at the Shinshu Watch Studio. He was very aware of the importance of the moment. Caliber 9RA5/9RA2 is one of the main springboards for the next 60 years of Grand Seiko and so was created to open a new chapter in its history.
Caliber 9RA5/9RA2 incorporates several innovations, chief among which are the Dual-size Barrels. These two barrels are of different sizes to save space and achieve an extended power reserve. Caliber 9RA5/9RA2 also has a new date change mechanism that shortens the time taken for the date to change to half that of conventional mechanisms. The innovation with which Hiraya struggled most was the “high precision Spring Drive package IC,” which he wanted to create in order to achieve an accuracy rate of ±10 seconds per month. It is a new mechanism that encloses in a vacuum package an IC that controls the accuracy of the Spring Drive movement, a quartz oscillator, and the wiring that connects them.
“It took a great deal of time to find the optimum structure to enclose the IC and quartz oscillator, which until now had been mounted separately, in one vacuum package. Since the vacuum package cannot be opened once it is sealed, we naturally used a quartz oscillator with stable performance that was carefully selected by aging it for three months. It was also essential to maximize the accuracy of the SOI-IC, an IC that runs on an extremely small consumption current, and the wiring,” says Hiraya.
The quartz oscillator oscillates 32,768 times per second. Since the oscillation frequency is liable to change with variations in temperature, Grand Seiko’s quartz Caliber 9F has a temperature sensor within the IC that measures the temperature inside the watch 540 times per day, determines the effect of temperature based on that data and corrects any error. With Caliber 9RA5/9RA2 in contrast, the temperature sensor and quartz oscillator mounted inside the IC are sealed within the same vacuum package, eliminating the temperature differential between the two and minimizing the effect of external temperatures, allowing higher precision correction to be performed. Furthermore, the effect of humidity changes is held in check by containing the wiring that connects the IC and quartz oscillator within the package. The shielding also eliminates the potential effects of static electricity and other influences.
“In the development process we faced a new challenge. Incorporating the temperature correction function within the vacuum package meant that a separate source of power was required to activate the function and it had to be kept to 45nA, the same consumption current needed to operate a conventional IC. Under these tight restrictions, it took a lot of trial and error to find the optimum mechanism.”
Another major challenge for Hiraya was to slim down the movement. By making the movement thinner, the watch itself can be made slimmer and, by placing the center of gravity closer to the wrist, the watch is more comfortable to wear. The company’s Magic Lever system comprises a small number of parts and has excellent winding efficiency but a certain depth, due to fact that it moves in conjunction with the oscillating weight and is therefore positioned on top of the central part of the movement. For Caliber 9RA5/9RA2, however, an Offset Magic Lever was devised that moved the Magic Lever with its crank pillar in parallel, away from the center of the movement.
“By positioning the Magic Lever with crank wheel next to the central part and slimming down the oscillating weight and other components, we reduced the thickness of the movement by 0.8mm, from 5.8mm to 5.0mm. However, since the distance to the transmission wheel is naturally increased by moving the position of the Magic Lever, there was an issue with the slight reduction in winding efficiency. Taking advantage of the advanced cutting technology of the artisans at the Shinshu Watch Studio, we therefore created a new shape to crank the pillar of the Magic Lever, and moved the transmission wheel arrangement to be in parallel with the crank pillar; in doing so, we improved both the thinness and the winding efficiency.”
Thus, a slimmer profile was achieved through use of the Offset Magic Lever but meticulous attention was also paid to the center of gravity. The distance from the bottom face of the movement to the center of the crown was reduced from 4.2mm to 3.4mm, the position of the crown was moved as far as possible toward the case back and the center of gravity was lowered to provide a more stable fit on the wrist as well as to give the watch a slimmer profile. Caliber 9RA5/9RA2 was now thinner but it was vital that this did not compromise its robustness. To ensure the movement’s strength, Hiraya integrated together the first and second bridges and the winding stem cock, which had previously been in three parts, into the One-piece Center Bridge.
“We reinforced the 3 o’clock/9 o’clock direction, which is where the main plate is weaker than other parts and housed all the gear trains within this structure. In doing so, we greatly enhanced its robustness. Also, the integration of the three bridges, which had previously been separate components, eliminated variations in components and assembly and also contributed to enhanced transmission efficiency. All these innovations have made Caliber 9RA5/9RA2 a robust, slimmer movement with improved accuracy and I am proud of what we have achieved.”
The team at the Shinshu Watch Studio was determined that the exterior of the first watch with Caliber 9RA5/9RA2 should be as exceptional as the movement itself and they wanted it to reflect the beauty of the natural world in the area of Shiojiri where they live and work and where Spring Drive was invented. They chose a winter theme and were inspired by the hoarfrost-covered trees seen in the early days of winter and the star-speckled sky that they glimpse in the gaps between them.
“Hoarfrost is characterized by an uneven texture peculiar to the ice layer and it has a sparkling radiance that I love to experience. It isn’t showy, and neither does it strongly assert itself but its understated charm has a unique beauty that makes you want to gaze at it forever. We applied a delicate finish processing to the bridge surface to incorporate that image into the movement. The bridge ridge lines, end pieces and hole edges on the other hand are diamond-cut, receiving and diffusely reflecting light from all angles and emitting a beautiful, sharp radiance, like stars shining in the night sky. The finish has a sharp radiance that Japan has cherished since times of old, typified by the traditional Japanese rock garden.”
In designing every Grand Seiko movement, Hiraya always has in mind the design philosophy that had been passed down the generations since the time of Suwa Seikosha. Their movements “should always be accurate, should not break, and should be beautiful”. “If we can design components that work well but also look beautiful, they will be easier to manufacture, which in turn will lead to higher precision. This is a fundamental lesson we learned from our predecessors. If the shape of a component is not beautiful, it will naturally be difficult for an artisan to make. Being difficult to make means that accuracy is difficult to produce and machining variations are liable to occur. When a structure becomes complicated, we endeavor to make improvements and refine it to remove waste and re-design it to be as beautiful and simple as possible. Designing components beautifully; it’s no exaggeration to say that this is a barometer that measures the accuracy of a movement and is what we have always endeavored to do. In the design of Caliber 9RA5/9RA2, I was even more careful and cautious than ever before.”
The Development and Design Department, of which Hiraya is a member, has created a database of the designs and technologies that the studio had developed over the years and has created an environment in which technical experts can share this knowledge. By visualizing the technologies and ideas developed by designers in the past, Hiraya and his colleagues can now obtain the information they need, when they need it. In addition, it has been built in order to pass on to each new generation the design assets that their predecessors accumulated. This inheritance is fundamental to the future of Grand Seiko, which pursues the Michi or the Way of continuous evolution. With access to the vital lessons of the past and with the creativity and new technologies that Caliber 9RA5/9RA2 demonstrates, Hiraya and his team will be able to develop new movements and designs that, like their predecessors, offer high accuracy and high durability and will continue to mark time beautifully long into the future. Every Grand Seiko should have an appeal that grows as the years pass and, with Caliber 9RA5/9RA2, Hiraya and the elite engineers at the Shinshu Watch Studio have created a masterpiece that will truly stand the test of time. As the seconds hand glides soundlessly and smoothly across the dial, it marks the beginning of a new era for Grand Seiko.
