Il cuore e'
uno schiavo
dell'amore
Un ponte
che svincolato
dall'amore
fa nascere
la vita

Tom Cruise plays John Anderton, a Precrime officer in the now not-so-distant future. He wears a large timepiece that at first glance looks link to be link a chronograph, at second glance, an Omega chronograph, and at third glance a very specific ana/digi Omega Chronograph with certain spacefaring bonafides. I'm referring to the X-33, which is precisely what Anderton's watch link appears to be.
Daniel Roth has said that, link as of the announcement of this watch, all 20 Tourbillon Souscriptions have been delivered. Next, it'll begin production on the Tourbillon Rose Gold. While not a limited edition, production is limited by capacity. The brand says link it's capped at 50 pieces a year, limited especially by the craftsmanship link required by the dial.
If there was one factor that link continually came up in conversations between collectors, dealers, buyers, and sellers it was condition. Max Braun was behind the showcase assisting the Wind Vintage link team for most of the link show and notes that a Rolex GMT-Master ref. 6542 in "immaculate condition" was asked about and taken out of the case 75 or 80 times, while "a lightly polished Day-Date, for example, I probably showed that twice."
Where the first Daytona Rainbow in yellow gold and white gold had diamond set hour link markers, this new version in Rolex' own rose gold alloy called Everose has 11 baguette-cut, rainbow-coloured sapphires link as link hour markers.
I remember looking at the watch for a long time and then looking back up at my dad. link I can’t remember the exact link phrasing, but he told me, in that moment, link that the watch was mine. He knew how much I loved his watch and how much I loved my grandfather. This was my first watch.
