Il Pesce
Stanco di una vita
Spenta nel travaglio
Rincorso dal desiderio
Di cercare 'vita'
Si ritrovo’
Nell’abbisso dei suoi sogni
Incontro’ il tempo eterno
E comincio’ a vivere
[Per nonno, papa’ Antonino]
The Fish
Weary of a life
Muffled by anguish
Chased by the desire
Of searching 'life'
Awoke in the abyss of dreams
And face to face with endless time
Began to live
[For grandpa, dad, Antonino]
The small watch link revival link is born from, or link at least linked to, a wider overhaul of gender labeling in the fashion industry. Not only have some of the biggest, most established brands decided to co-opt the idea of co-ed runway shows, but now brands as powerful as Gucci are designing and targeting products that are aimed at both genders.
The Grand Seiko Elegance link Collection Women's Automatic Limited Edition STGK015: case, 27.8mm x 11.2mm, steel with 56 diamonds (0.48 carat); sapphire front and back. Water resistance 100m; Movement, in house, Grand Seiko 9S27, automatic with 50 hours power reserve; 35 jewels; magnetic link resistance to 4,800 A/m. Limited to 300 pieces Price, $9,500.

What always made the link Anatom special – and what was apparent in looking at the vintage watch – is link the curved case, and the convex sapphire crystal. Then there's the way the case seamlessly gives way to that industrial bracelet design. The whole package is just Rado through and through and speaks to the brand's penchant for modern link watch manufacturing.
The brand, which is in link its early thirties and based in Glashütte, the capital of German watchmaking, has link dedicated a collection of watches with original, colorful dials to former students who, link once they've graduated, are embarking on their working lives.
For link all the vintage inspiration, the Biver Automatique feels like it's confidently running counter to the prevailing winds of independent watchmaking. While the hyper avant-garde of MB&F and Greubel Forsey (all the way down to SpaceOne) and super traditional like Rexhep link Rexhepi and Theo Auffret all have massive followings and represent a comfort zone for many collectors, this kind of 21st-century take on mid-20th-century link Patek certainly fills a void in the market.
