I tried alpine skiing probably twice in my whole life as far as I remember (and last time was something like 30 years ago 😁)

I only do cross country skiing and did biathlon for many many years. But over the last two years, I only went skiing few times unfortunately.
I have a true dilemma now as my son is pretty good as an alpine skier. Most probably, I will have to take lessons next year if we want to go skiing together (he’s too young to go skiing alone).
So to answer to your question, my wife and I enjoy walks in the snow and peaceful moments together 😊
Only two years. I was not Martin Fourcade for sure 😁😉

That was mainly to know new sensations because cross country skiing alone became boring for me.
I really enjoyed this sport and, once you try, you better understand how difficult it is. I still remember well my first bullet. I killed the snow around the target 😂
I can't recall seeing this piece before Alkiro. Of course I'm an old man so there you are 😔. But...it's beautiful. I don't know it, but what an interesting dial and aperture. Details for the uninitiated??? [nt]
No worries my friend. This place is made for that. Discover new watches almost everyday 😊😉 This one is not so rare here. Jocke has the same and few other PuristS own it too (a slightly different version however)

This timepiece exists in two steel versions in 42mm (hand wound) with a slightly different bezel. Mine is the first edition released in 2010 at Baselworld (I’m not sure it’s still in the GO catalogue 🤔).
The very first two versions in WG and RG were released two years before the steel one but they were less appealing for me.
The idea of this watch is to show, on the dial side, the beautiful GO 66-06 caliber hence the name of the model “Inverse”. A kind of GO “Tradition” 😊
You can see the nicely engraved double swan neck which is particularly mesmerising. In addition, Glashütte ribbings are a feast for the eyes as they can be very dark or bright depending on the light. First time I see this timepiece in pictures, I immediately fell in love with it.
A variation of this timepiece has been released few years ago. It’s called PanoMaticInverse with an automatic movement and a date window instead of the power reserve indicator at 2 o’clock. I’m not fan of this one too.
Hope my comments helped you a little bit to better know this gorgeous watch 😊😉
Thank you. This is hugely helpful. I appreciated very little of this; I find the "inverse" tradition very neat as a mode to display GO's incredible craft. Thank you again for taking the time.
