Remember the world famous “Apollo 13” mission? In today’s scenario, we recognise the technology used at that time as primitive. A small, restricted and messy spacecraft indoors is what left an impression on our minds after the safe return of the astronauts above the space vehicle. At that time there was hardly any adequate computer help available for the astronauts. Today they have computers but the space programmes haven’t improved astronomically, as they say! But there is one thing common that the space travellers had- a mechanical chronograph then and a mechanical chronograph now.
