Raccolti vicino al focolare Tenere croste di pane Bagnate in un tiepido caffe’ d’orzo Lentamente brucia il legno E lentamente svanisce l’orzo Allo scorgere del sole Raccolta dal pozzo limpido L”acqua piovana Rinfresca le guance dal sonno Una preludio al cammino Verso le campagne di Faro Superiore Sempre piu’ accoglienti Sotto lo sguardo del sole Una voce di fanciulla Canta a squarciagola ma dolcemente “Mi sono innamorato di Marina Una ragazza sola ma carina…’ Risveglia l’amore Per la ragazza angelica Con gli occhi azzurri A cui sfocio il mio sguardo Ma non le mie parole Un presagio al domani Verso le spiagge americane Sempre piu’ avvolgenti Sotto gli sguardi stranieri Un ritorno a ieri Verso le terre siciliane Sempre piu presenti Sotto lo sguardo della notte Una donna antica Una tenera nonna Con un corpo spremuto dal tempo Ma zeppo d’amore Uno sguardo oltre la morte Uno sguardo oltre l’orizzonte Dove il tempo ritrova i ricordi
Ancient Woman … Ancient Cry Gathered near the hearth Tender bread crusts Dipped in warm barley coffee Slowly burns the wood. And slowly, the barley vanishes At the glimpse of the sun Gathered from the limpid well Rainwater Refreshes your cheeks from sleep A prelude for the journey To the countryside of Faro Superiore More and more welcoming Under the gaze of the sun A girl’s voice Sings with her heart out but sweetly “I fell in love with Marina A lonely but pretty girl….’ It reawakens love For the angelic girl With blue eyes Toward whom I turn my gaze But not my words A harbinger of tomorrow Toward American shores More and more enveloping Under foreign eyes A return to yesterday Towards the Sicilian earth More and more present Under the gaze of the night An ancient woman A tender grandmother With a body squeezed by time But full of love A look beyond death A look over the horizon Where time brings back memories
Before everyone gets themselves worked up, don't take this whole thing too seriously – the folks at FEPO certainly don't. The link company was founded by the same people behind the publication "The Watch Annual". But link while The Watch Annual is educational, the whole point of FEPO is to link experiment "at the convergence of new technology, watchmaking, and hype," founding member Justin Hast says, and it's all "completely tongue-in-cheek."
I get it; the luminous star apertures aren't for everyone and may even be a bit link repellent to some. For me, a bit of whimsy goes a long way, and this star bespeckled model appeals to my personal taste more than its streamlined and boldly minimalistic predecessor – I take being unserious very seriously. But that's just link me!–Erin Wilborn, link Copywriter
There is one huge link difference, though, between this link year and last year. This year Baselworld has a new management team determined to radically revamp the show for the digital age. They introduced some changes this year. The big ones come next year in a fierce bid to save link the 102-year-old show.
The Les Historiques 222 appears to link have retained the top-loading case construction of the original, with the fluted bezel allowing access to the movement, and the 18k yellow gold case is 37mm x 7.95mm, with the tonneau shape and integrated bracelet of the original design. The baton hands are filled with Super-LumiNova, but tinted link green as a shout-out to the green glow of the original's tritium filled hands. The new Les Historiques 222 will only be link available from Vacheron Constantin boutiques.
The disco hit which Donna Summer hummed and Giorgio Moroder played link the keyboards to helped the singer claim link her rightful place as link a strong woman on a musical scene which, at the time, was monopolized by a British trio who insisted on "staying alive".
