Dear Roni, first of all thank you for amaze us with your renown wonderful collection.
Yes, these spledid timepieces are from the past, but in my opinion they're really modern. "Modern" because they are bold, they have a strong personality, they are immediately recongnizable. I think that part of these qualities are missing from the contemporary Calatrava line and it's really a pity.
Ciao,
Elio

Hi Kari, Missed you in Geneva at the 175 and the London Salon function a couple of weeks back...hope all is well. It kind of ended in the 60's from a design perspective for me. Roni
Hi Roni,
I did not get an invitation to Geneva and during London I was in Singapore. Hope to see you next time. Best, Kari
