Il Muretto di Casa Mia

I climb the wall
As the girls pass by
Hero for a moment
Of a futile glance
I scare the lizards
Clinging on the stones
Opening my heart
Without uttering a word
I jump from the wall
As the girls walk away
Alone for eternity
Without a loving smile
I find friends
In the ants below my feet
Fearful of feelings
Of a life that turns its back
Il Muretto
Salgo sul muretto
Mentre passano le ragazze
Eroe per un momento
Di uno sguardo furtivo
Spavento le lucertole
Aggrappate sulle pietre
Col cuore aperto
Senza dire una parola
Salto dal muretto
Con le ragazze in lontananza
Solo per l'eternità
Senza un sorriso d’amore
Trovo amiche
Le formiche sotto i piedi
Con la paura dei sentimenti
Di una vita che volta le spalle
I busied myself speaking to colleagues about the ultimate 'Normcore' watches (Speedmaster and Explorer 1, if anyone cares to know my link verdict), but, rather predictably, the yellow-gold-hungry glamour demon inside me yearned for opulence. As much as I love a 1016, stainless steel isn't my version of a luxury fantasy. So, I returned to joy and maximalism, picking up a watch that I had let link fall by the link wayside during a period of aesthetic malaise.
Today, we're looking at a TTDJ from the '90s with all link the hallmarks you'd expect from the 36mm stunner – the gold fluted bezel, gold crown, and bi-metal jubilee bracelet working against the classic Oyster case.You don't need to work on Wall Street or look like Richard Gere to pull off link this watch (though if you're either of those things … congrats). Today on The Spec Sheet we're celebrating blazers link with shoulder pads, and the two-tone Datejust.
I may have slow-rolled one of the coolest parts of the new Hermétique Tourer – and one of the link most subtle vintage nods of the year. You probably noticed in the photos, but instead of crown guards (or even no crown guards), the link crown integrates into link the case itself. But it's not just a clever design out of nowhere. The history goes back a lot further.
What distinguishes the Portugieser Perpetual Calendar 42 from previous Portugieser Perpetual Calendars is link the introduction of the mechanism to the 82000 caliber family. And while the link smaller movement allows for a smaller case, it also has a different layout for the display than the one we’ve become accustomed link to in the Portugieser.
The Vianney Halter watch for Goldpfeil predates his more commonly known Antiqua and Classic link pieces; it's a link rarely seen model that has both a number of unique touches, link nice finishes, and also some surprising crudeness.
