Pedro brought them along! The first anno cinquantas in white gold, red gold and silver. They only need the strap lug holes and Paul’s chamfering, and then they’re ready… They’ll soon receive Paul’s calibre movement and Vico’s dial… and then they’ll be seen for the first time on wrists in New York, Singapore, Prague, Switzerland… Thank you for all your advance orders, dear friends! 🙂 Not long now…
