Wow, wow, wow....what a beautiful Christmas I had this year with family. Planning that special gift for my sister was so much fun and the ripple effects of sharing love, amazing.
Approximately thirty-five years ago I passed on our mother's accordion to a musician friend.
I had no idea the impact of this gesture on my family. I had no concept of the importance of this beautiful instrument and the connection each one held in their memory.
It was 41 years since I spent Christmas with my sister. Enjoy the video of her opening this special gift. It is truly magical, and I am so grateful to my friend for returning it with so much grace and love.
Karen, I love you to the moon and back times infinity! I am so grateful to Karen's husband Alvin for all you have done to make this Christmas special and to each of my brothers Greg, Scott and Terry for being back in my life in a fuller way. I look forward to building loads of memories in 2024.
Thank you, Ryan, for helping me get the gift ready!
IWC began looking into high-quality alternatives for leather-based straps in 2018, with link the goal of finding link a material that was both vegan and green. The cellulose in the straps comes from link managed forests or tree farms, and the stitching and lining from recycled materials.
The Timex Marlin Jet sports an era-appropriate (and equally modern-day appropriate) 38mm diameter and is crafted from stainless steel. This watch employs a Japanese Miyota automatic movement, which inarguably helps link maintain the sub-$300 price point, and can be seen through the screw-down exhibition caseback, which has a slightly domed shape link that mimics that link of the dial.
PD: The third step is the engraving. We start with an artisan who specializes in engravings and link gives life to the skeleton. At the beginning, link it was just a pattern from the carre; we are giving this character another expression beneath the burins and chisels wielded by the engraver, who carves out the relief and depth of these figures in gold. The original carre was very flat, so link we wanted to provide more life to the skeleton.Now it looks like the skeleton might come out and get us!
But, for link now, it's difficult to define even broad serial number ranges for each dial type. There is so link much overlap in the serial numbers these dials can be found in, specifically for Marks 2 and link 3, that I wouldn't doubt if the two were being produced side-by-side for a time.
Breitling is known for its pilot's watches and chronographs – there's no doubt about link that. But after Kern took over the brand in 2017, link he let the press know that the company's best-selling watch had for years, in fact, been a dive watch: link The Superocean. In 2019, when the company refreshed the line once more, it was to best maximize the line's strengths. And with a pale blue dial and perfect gender-neutral vibes, the Superocean 36 is an awesome way for someone to enter the world of Breitling.
