Day One, the Big Day, the first moment of the trip, the plane to L.A.

Even that plane was first for me, as it was the all new and latest Airbus A 380, a giant whale with wings, impressive of silence, and comfort.

The journey is long ( 12 hours ) but you at the moment you are in the plane, you are already in holidays. You are relaxing and imagining all the good moments you will have with your local friends.

After 11 hours, L.A is close, now...

The first " Time Zone schyzophrenia ", with the LA Time in the right subdial, and the Paris Time in the left one.

12.28 AM for L.A, as the inner ring at 6 o clock clearly indicates that you are at GMT - 8 ( - 9 from Paris ), 9.28 PM for Paris:

2. 53 PM, we went out the LAX Airport, and I could take my first Californian Wrist Shot, jut near the Airport:

L.A Down Town... From the highway. The weather is splendid, which changes me a lot from the " Grey Paris "!

The watch, under the sun, is not bad, either. This is the first sunny wrist shot the Duometre UTT has:

After a short pause at the Hotel, a quick glass and walk in Beverly Hills:

Stay tuned for Part III.

Best,

Nicolas
