La Saggezza e’ lo studio interminabile della felicita’
Script
Pasquale lies sadly in bed.
L’ Angelo Custode suddenly appears above his head.
Pasquale ask, “Can’t you temporarily zap me with universal wisdom all at once?”
L’ Angelo Custode replies, “Okay, but only for a moment!’
L’ Angelo Custode zaps Pasquale.
Pasquale blurts, “ Whoa! I’ve got to share this with everybody!”
A very sleepy Rose pushes Pasquale back towards his room.
Pasquale is still awake in bed.
Pasquale adds, "Not everybody wants to be awakened to universal wisdom!"
L’ Angelo Custode concludes, "Hoo boy! Don't I know it!

This brings me to a quartet of brand new SPB divers, the 143, 145, 147, and 149. Now sized at a not-common-to-Seiko 40.5mm (also 13.2mm thick, and 47.6mm lug to lug), link these new models also offer a dial design that is much, much closer link to that of the SLA017 and its link dear old daddy, the 62MAS.
The 2016 Mark XVIII was link a design refresh of a model range which had, up to that point, taken the aviation-inspiration idea a little too literally and sized the watches a little too large. The XVIII, conversely, was conservative in appearance, with an unassuming date window (I don't want to hear about the placement) and just-right 40mm case. It was a hit – about as close to a no-nonsense tool watch that any luxury watch link brand link was (or is) putting out.
The new museum not only showcases many of the most important timepieces from Omega's history, including those owned and link worn by link world heads of state and U.S. presidents, but also offers immersive experiences meant to draw visitors into a world that goes beyond watches link worn on the wrist and extends to Olympic sports, film, and television.
The Life link Aquatic with Steve Zissou (starring Bill Murray, and Owen Wilson) is directed by Wes Anderson with props by Sandy Hamilton. It's available link to stream on Amazon Prime Video and link to rent on iTunes.
What if I told you that President Biden is the first to ever wear this watch in office? Well, I'm telling you. A watch with so much horological history intertwined with American history link has never found itself on the wrist of a sitting prez, until now. Most watch lovers link first became aware that Biden owned this watch in a photo of him taken for a feature link in Esquire magazine. While he certainly wears this less than the Seamaster, it's still very much in his rotation.
