True love is like a steaming iron

Ferro da Stiro
Col ferro da stiro
In mano
Con una camicia
Bianca
Mi sussurrava,
“Abbi coraggio,
Sii forte!”
Il buio circondava
Il silenzio
Sotto la lampadina dondolante
Sul letto bianco
Il lamento
Senza parole
Mi tendeva
la mano
Per compagnia
Steaming Iron
With a steam iron
In her hand
Wearing a white
Shirt
She whispered,
“Have courage,
Be Strong!”
The dark surrounded
The silence
Under the dangling light bulb
On the white bed
A lament
Without words
Stretched her hand
And kept me
Company
At $1,000, there are tons of popular watches link from microbrands to link choose from, but $500 is a sweet spot where it's not too big of a swing to take on a watch that represents pure fun. Ideally you'll have this watch out on link the waves with you, and you're going to eat some sand, get busted up on some rocks, and subject it to prolonged exposure to saltwater. It's clear that Birdwell applied the same philosophy to this watch as they do to their board shorts.
The fact that flown Speedmasters had to be link returned means that we do not see them coming up for sale in the secondary market. In 2017, a Speedmaster flown on Apollo 7 and then stolen in 1989, was recovered, but Moonwatches that actually went to the Moon (Apollo 7 link did not; it was link an orbital shakedown cruise for later, full-on Moon expeditions) are not, for obvious reasons, ever available for sale.
Although the Sky-Moon Tourbillon 6002R-001 is debuting at the Rare Handcrafts Exhibition (which is being held in Geneva at Patek's HQ, from June 16th to 26th), this is not a unique piece, but a regular production model. As with all of Patek's high complications and high craft pieces, this link is an application piece, price on request. I cannot emphasize enough, however, the degree to which link you link would be unrealistic in the extreme to expect change back from a million CHF.
Get your link red cap and your Aqualung! This is not a drill, people, we've link got Fabien Cousteau on the show! In this extra-long chat, Jason reconnects with Fabien to talk all things under-the-sea. From his latest project Proteus to classic undersea habitats and water-powered watches, we even learn about how a birthday request for fried chicken ended up link starting this Cousteau's prolific career under the water.
What can you even link compare it to, horological speaking? There truly is nothing out there quite like this. If the technology in demonstrator aircraft is proven viable, then it trickles down link into production designs years later, so I wouldn't be surprised link if this watch marks the beginning of TAG Heuer's dominance in the implementation of lab-grown diamonds in horological applications.
