The Maiden Event: A Ginning Mentality?

Griffin reviews the inaugural event of one of St. Andrews’ newest societies.

At a university flooded with balls and functions galore, the brand-new St Andrews Gin Society hoped to wade through mediocrity and monotony to provide a dazzlingly unique experience for the budding socialites of the university. While the night did include a fair few positives, much to the chagrin of this reviewer, the society was only partially able to deliver the spectacle promised.

Conceived by two first year brothers, Gin Soc, as it is affectionally known, began the year with a controversial yet highly effective “First Kiss” video, which to date has garnered over forty thousand views on Youtube. This viral marketing brought the society quite a few ardent admirers, and almost as many irritated detractors, who threw out words such as “pompous” and “pretentious.” As someone who did not fall into either camp, I was quite intrigued about experiencing this much-publicised event.

Upon entering the venue space in Hotel Du Vin, the first impressions were exceedingly favourable. The square room was adorned with tendrils of ivy, giving a whimsical air to the night’s proceedings. Additionally, overhead lights bathed the room in a warm green glow, reminiscent of a jungle. The setup was split into five connected sections, four of which were manned by the Gin Soc Committee members as they each served distinctly different yet quite enjoyable variations on a G&T. The other space was occupied by a customised ice luge with complimentary vodka shots, a welcome alternative to all the gin provided. The centre of the room was used as the dance floor, with the speakers pumping out a mix of throwback tunes and modern hits while dry ice wafted through the densely-packed area. The guests, the vast majority of whom were first year students, went all-out in typical St-Andrews fashion (pun intended), donning a wide array of bright floral cocktail attire to match the pseudo-rainforest theme.

Unfortunately, despite the enthralling aesthetics and novel approach, the night did have its fair share of roadblocks and issues. The bathroom situation, with only one for each gender, became quite problematic, with incredibly long lines and women eventually resorting to using the male bathroom. In addition, towards the start, while the majority of guests were huddled together in small groups enjoying their gin-focused drinks, the music blasted so loudly that yelling proved to be the most effective means of conversing. In conjunction with this, and perhaps the biggest issue of the night, was the dilemma of consistently entertaining the attendees. Once the complimentary alcohol had been consumed, there was a lengthy space of time during which it seemed too early to begin getting down on the dance floor. This sentiment was shared by many other attendees, and led to many leaving the event entirely to seek out more booze. While the snake in the lobby did help to provide a brief spark of amusement, the lack of variety in the revelry hurt the longevity of the event.

Looking back on the night as a whole, The Maiden Event was an admirable, if not entirely successful, first endeavour for an ambitious new society, and I looking forward to seeing how the experience gained from this function can help improve future gatherings of merriment.

    Understanding COSC Accreditation and Its Importance in Watchmaking
    COSC Accreditation and its Strict Criteria
    COSC, or the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Agency, is the official Swiss testing agency that verifies the precision and accuracy of wristwatches. COSC accreditation is a symbol of quality craftsmanship and trustworthiness in chronometry. Not all timepiece brands follow COSC certification, such as Hublot, which instead follows to its proprietary strict criteria with mechanisms like the UNICO, attaining similar accuracy.

    The Art of Precision Timekeeping
    The central system of a mechanical timepiece involves the spring, which supplies energy as it unwinds. This mechanism, however, can be susceptible to external factors that may influence its precision. COSC-certified mechanisms undergo demanding testing—over fifteen days in various conditions (five positions, three temperatures)—to ensure their resilience and reliability. The tests assess:

    Average daily rate precision between -4 and +6 secs.
    Mean variation, highest variation levels, and impacts of temperature variations.
    Why COSC Certification Is Important
    For timepiece enthusiasts and collectors, a COSC-validated watch isn’t just a item of tech but a demonstration to enduring excellence and precision. It represents a timepiece that:

    Offers outstanding reliability and accuracy.
    Ensures guarantee of quality across the whole design of the timepiece.
    Is likely to retain its value better, making it a wise investment.
    Well-known Chronometer Brands
    Several renowned manufacturers prioritize COSC certification for their timepieces, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, provides collections like the Record and Soul, which showcase COSC-validated mechanisms equipped with innovative materials like silicon balance springs to enhance resilience and efficiency.

    Historical Context and the Evolution of Timepieces
    The concept of the chronometer originates back to the requirement for precise timekeeping for navigation at sea, emphasized by John Harrison’s work in the 18th century. Since the formal establishment of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the validation has become a standard for assessing the accuracy of high-end timepieces, continuing a legacy of excellence in watchmaking.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-validated timepiece is more than an visual choice; it’s a dedication to excellence and precision. For those valuing accuracy above all, the COSC accreditation offers peacefulness of thoughts, ensuring that each validated watch will function dependably under various conditions. Whether for individual contentment or as an investment decision, COSC-certified watches stand out in the world of horology, carrying on a tradition of careful chronometry.
