I don't think it will ever happen.
Every time I strap it back on, the tonneau case, the lugs, the dial, the numerals, everything feels “magical”. I mean really special. Best, Emmanuel
Absolutely right, Gordon!
It's hard to put into words how special this watch feels each time I strap it on, but it definitely feels special and perfect for me. Best, Emmanuel

I'm glad you feel this way about this watch, Doug.
So I'm not completely blinded by love! 😊 Best, Emmanuel
The watch is amazing Emmanuel.
the story of Chronometro Gondolo is just as amazing and the importance for you is no less amazing. Best, Ashot
