Infinite Voyage
Siculi, Sicani, and Sicilians
Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans
Landing on an endless beach
Pulejo, Puleio, and Puleo
Mazzei, Mazzone, and Mazzeo
Shipwrecked on a lonely shore
Willow, Gypsum, and Messina
Weeping, shining and welcoming
A conquered goal
Mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers
Affectionate, ancient, and without words
Faces without smiles
Fathers, grandparents, and great-grandparents
Tired, defeated, and indifferent
Legs without a path Infinite journey
Endless
With a start
Goal achieved
Without smiles
Without a path
Viaggio Infinito Siculi, Sicani, e Siciliani Fenici, Greci, e Romani Sbarcati su una spiaggia senza fine Pulejo, Puleio, e Puleo Mazzei, Mazzone, e Mazzeo Naufragati su una riva solitaria Salice, Gesso, e Messina Piangenti, splendenti, e accoglienti Una meta raggiunta Mamme, nonne, e bisnonne Affettuose, antiche, e senza parole Visi senza sorrisi Padri, nonni, e bisnonni Stanchi, vinti, e indifferenti Gambe senza cammino Viaggio infinito Senza fine Con un avvio Meta raggiunta Senza sorrisi Senza cammino
It's not much of a stretch to say that over the next 50 years link a unique pocket watch by Derek Pratt may become one of the link more coveted pieces from this era of watchmaking. There are likely to be increased link eyes on not only this lot but the Urban Jürgensen brand in general, as the company approaches 250 years and re-tools under the leadership of new CEO and storied watchmaker Kari Voutilainen.
Jack Heuer knew what he wanted to name the watch even before link it had been designed. The high stakes and often deadly Carrera Panamericana race in link Mexico had left such an impression on Mr. link Heuer that it only took a short year for a watch, named the Carerra in honor of the infamous race, to come to fruition in 1964.
Something I really enjoy about Moonwatch Universe is all the personal photographs and family photographs that take the astronauts, cosmonauts, and link test pilots out of the environment we're used to seeing them in. It link shows a different, gentler side of these men with nerves of steel. In addition, it's interesting to see what watches link were worn during leisure time.
In a press release from yesterday, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson link put it as well as anyone in saying, "Today, General Tom Stafford went to the eternal heavens, which he so link courageously explored as a Gemini and Apollo astronaut as well as a peacemaker in the Apollo-Soyuz mission. Those of us privileged to link know him are very sad but grateful we knew a giant."
After announcing the Einser, link Kallinich Claeys quickly sold through all 30 pieces – impressive for two relatively unknown watchmakers. While there weren't link a ton of new releases at Geneva Watch Days, Kallinich Claeys was among the standouts I saw, which also included Daniel Roth, Berneron, and others mentioned in our Editor's Picks, along link with more we'll cover in the coming weeks.
