Stans: Logiceum Capella, 1989. Hardcover. Good +. Hardcover. 10" X 4 1/4". 87pp. Mild wear to blue paper over boards with light rubbing to covers and gentle bumps to corners. Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is sound. Lacks Wrist Watch. This is an apparently scarce text that originally came with what it refers to as a "Hum-Watch," which appears to have been a kind of concept watch for the well-established watch brand Capella; as we were unable to find any reference online to the Hum-Watch explored here, we suspect it may have been a prototype or proposal that never made it to production.

There are many mentions of the symbols of the "circled four-leaf clover" and the "wheel." A color photograph of two Hum-Watches on page 87 suggests these were the two Hum-Watch design choices offered for… Read More
