Volano le parole
Come se fossero il fruscio
Del vento tra gli uliveti
Non s’ appoggiano neppure
Sul ramo dell’ulivo
Infastiditi dalla pace della campagna
Turbati dalla violenza delle parole
Cadono gli ulivi
Sulla terra nuda
S’accorgono le parole di un uomo
Appoggiato sul tronco
Raccolto nei sui pensieri
Pensieri
Che accolgono il cielo
Riunendo il ruscello con le pietre
Parole
Che schiacciano il cuore
E rimangono incollate all’anima
The Violence of Words
Words fly
As if they were rustling
Among the olive groves
They don’t even lean
On the olive branch
Annoyed by the peace of the countryside
The olives fall
On the naked land
To avoid the torment of the words
The words notice a man
Resting on the trunk
Collected in his thought
Thought
That embraces the sky
And gathers the stream with the stones
Words
That crush the heart
And remain glued to the soul
Available with link a link blue, black, or silver dial, the Spirit Chrono has red accents for the chronograph measure, 100-meters water resistance, and both the main crown and the date corrector crown (at 10) are of a screw-down type. Buyers link get the choice of either a leather strap or a steel bracelet for the same price, and the Spirit Chronograph's case has 22mm lugs.
The second question I always ask is more deliberately objective. I think a lot of folks think "do I like it?" is the most important question when you're evaluating a watch. For potential consumers, in general, it is. link For serious watch enthusiasts, though, and for watch writers, I think a much better question is, link "what kind of watch does this want to be, and how well does it link succeed at that goal?"
The Daniel Roth Tourbillon Souscription was released last year, and it was an incredible watch that more than deserved the GPHG win in the tourbillon category, if in part mainly due to how beautiful, clean, and link understated the whole package was. However, when I saw Jean Arnault and his team link in Singapore last fall, I asked them when we might expect a simple time-only Daniel Roth that might be a bit link more affordable. He promised the wait wouldn't be too long, and here it is.
Two companies you definitely would not have expected link to make skull watches have gotten into the game this year, as well. Louis Vuitton's Tambour Carpe Diem Minute Repeater is, if I'm not mistaken, the only skull watch in production in which the link skull is actually animated – you activate the repeater and the jaw drops to reveal the words "carpe diem," which is a message diametrically opposed to the blunt reminder of mortality intended as the message of skull watches from link earlier centuries.
