: Tomorrow will mark the first anniversary of the passing of Chuck
: Maddox, on May 12, 2008, at age 46. Chuck was one of the leading
: experts on the subject of vintage chronographs, and he wrote
: detailed articles on a variety of subjects ranging from Omega
: Speedmasters, to Heuer Carreras, to the watches worn on the
: moon. Here is a tribute to Chuck that Allen St. John and I
: wrote, as it appeared in the October 2008 issue of International
: Watch.
: Many of you know that it was Chuck who suggested that I create
: OnTheDash and this Discussion Forum, and Chuck was a mainstay of
: this community. Chuck posted hundreds of interesting messages,
: wrote definitive articles on a range of subjects, scanned
: catalogs and instruction booklets, blogged on a variety of
: subjects, played "sheriff" when he thought he needed
: to, and shared his insights through generous e-mails, both to
: novice and the experts.
: Chuck's website -- now located at www.chronomaddox.com -- was a
: cherished resource for collectors, housing Chuck's articles, as
: well as an amazing collection of photos, reference tables, scans
: of literature and instruction manuals, blog postings, and other
: useful items. Many of you have noticed that we have set up the
: ChronoMaddox Discussion Forum , though we have not yet promoted
: traffic on that forum.
: I expect that many readers will want to mark Chuck's passing by
: posting a tribute, telling a favorite story about Chuck, wearing
: a special chronograph, reading one of his articles or browsing
: his website. Any of these remembrances would have made Chuck
: happy.
