I'm sitting with my wife in Frankfurt airport
and we are discussing where to have our holidays this summer.
Last summer we were in South Africa and Botswana.

But the world has also many other places to offer...

We would love to go again to Hawaii or west coast of US. But those are not in the map.
What to do? I guess I need 5131J to decide!
Best, Kari

The 5131G hour hand is pointing to Antarctica. There are tours leaving from Argentina in December and January. Beautiful photo. The gold and enamel work is gorgeous. So much seamless color variation within continents.
Antarctica is in my dreams...
