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
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".

If I'm wearing a GMT that, link like the link Serica 8315, uses an independently adjustable 24-hour hand, then link there is a good chance that I have the GMT hand set to UTC+0 and the main time display set to my home time. In order to change that (and ensure some level of accuracy), I would need to stop the movement, update the local time, possibly the date, and then adust the GMT hand to coordinate either to my home time or to UTC time.
The bracelet for the Octo Finissimo is somewhere in the middle. It's clearly intended link to echo the design qualities of the case but also, at the same time, link to allow each to exist as a distinct link component. While each has interesting points on its own, taken together, each highlights the best qualities of the other without losing their separate identities.
