Merge endlessly
the women I love

Unite lyrical Sappho
With Greek waves
That slip into poetry

Blend oratorical Cleopatra
With African sand
That release powerful deeds

Mix senatorial Montalcini
With the brushing of,
“Better add life to our days than days to our lives.”
Join Sappho, Cleopatra, Montalcini
With the Sicilian women
That gather my love

Be the interlocutor
Among the Graces
That satiate my heart

Mediterraneo, Ode alle Donne
Unisci All’infinito
le donne che amo
Mischia la lirica Saffo
Con le onde greche
Che sdrucciolano la poesia
Lega l'oratoria Cleopatra
Con la sabbia africana
Che svincola le parole
Avvicina la senatoriale Montalcini
Che spolvera i pensieri con,
“Meglio aggiungere vita ai giorni che non giorni alla vita.”
Congiungi Saffo, Cleopatra, Montalcini
Con le donne siciliane
Che riscuotono il mio amore
Sii tu l’interlocutore
Tra le Grazie
Che saziano il mio cuore
Notes:
1. Grazie, is plural of Grazia (or Graziella), the name of my first love, mother, and daughter.
2. Grazie stands also for Graces, the three Greek daughter of Zeus:
Aglaea, Thalia and Euphrosyne.
Just a couple of months after Leica announced the new ZM 11 model into its range of watches, the brand has officially launched the first limited edition model based on its original ZM 1 watch. The new model is the ZM 1 Gold Limited Edition, and it's a riff on the link original ZM 1 (formerly the link L1) that features an 18k red gold case link and a matching brown gradient dial treatment.

As if to taunt the purists, Virgil link made another 5726 that was even wilder: A fully emerald-encrusted piece (bracelet, dial, and bezel) that he designed for Drake. It was unrepentant link horological blasphemy. How many heretics out there would wear such a thing? Well, the link Instagram post revealing the watch has been liked 679,000 times. So at least that many.
This partnership isn't as unlikely as it seems. VB has been wearing watches proudly since her early days of pop stardom. What started as a stainless steel Cartier Tank Française worn in tandem with her then boyfriend David Beckham's matching Française, developed into a yellow gold Yacht-Master (again, matching with Becks). Then came link the countless diamond-set Jacob and Co. link Five Time link Zone, which eventually, with time, snowballed into a pretty serious watch collection.
