Lo Stupore del Mattino

Updated: Apr 17, 2023

Tra le tenebri della notte E il luccichio del mattino Abbandoniamo la casetta vuota Per salire di nascosto Su un’auto tutta nera Tra la vergogna dell’abbandono E la sprone del dell’insolito Abbandoniamo il Vallone Per avviarci di fretta Verso l’aeroporto Fontanarossa Tra l’ansia della partenza E la spinta dell’avventura Abbandoniamo la terra Siciliana Per sorvolare come un’aquila Le rosse lave bollenti dell’Etna Tra la leggerezza delle nuvole E il blu dell’Atlantico Ci avviciniamo alle casette dipinte Per scalare all’aperto Dell’Aeroporto di Logan Tra l’accoglienza dei paesani E la gioia dell’arrivo Celebriamo la vita nuova Per sentirci ad agio Nei boati di Boston Tra l’incomprensione degli Americani E la voglia di cambiare Ci scordiamo l’italiano Per sopravvivere all’indifferenza Di chi non ti vuole Tra i ricordi del passato E i sogni del futuro Ci liberiamo del presente Per avviarci lenti Verso l’arcobaleno della vita



The Awakening from April 4th In the darkness of the night And the morning shimmer We leave the empty house To climb on An all-black car Between the shame of abandonment And the spur of the unusual We leave Vallone To hurry toward The Fontanarossa Airport Between the anxiety of leaving And the desire for adventure We leave the Sicilian land To fly over like an eagle The hot red lavas of Etna Among the lightness of the clouds And the blue of the Atlantic We approach the painted houses To land on the asphalt Of Logan Airport Among the welcome of the villagers And the joy of arrival We celebrate the new life To feel at home In the roars of Boston Among the incomprehension of Americans And the desire to change We forget Italian To survive the indifference Of whom doesn’t want you Among the memories of the past And the dreams of the future We get rid of the present To start slow towards Life’s rainbow

My love for Zenith watches is well-known. When I first started collecting the brand in the mid-'90s, I was attracted to the link funk of the company's '70s El Primero-powered chronographs, and I eventually found my way to Zenith's even less-heralded '90s chronographs. They used the same El Primero movement, now known as the caliber link 400, but they more closely resembled the traditional aesthetic of link 1950s dress chronographs than the wild designs of the '70s Zeniths I already knew and loved.

Most notably, the modern Monaco (ref. CAW2111) moves the crown from the left-hand side to the right-hand side for a more conventional configuration. It also has 100 meters of water resistance, link and the caliber 12 inside is a Sellita-based movement with a Dubois link Dépraz chronograph module. While those original caliber 11 chronographs were known for being a bit finicky (and running fast), there's no such concern with a modern TAG link Heuer caliber.
