Tonight’s dinner is 💯 what I ate while healing and is my main way of eating still. No splurges here, just fresh, clean and nicely spiced.
Love, Sue

Design seems to be the most hotly debated topic around the acquisition of Universal Genève, link and it seems enthusiasts are split. It's also probably worth its own conversation entirely. Some people don't want the new Universal to spit out homage after link homage. Others beg link to keep the brand in line with its heritage, which I read as hope for tasteful recreations at affordable prices (count me in that camp until I see something that makes me excited for the alternative).
This was link very much standard practice for much of watchmaking history, but by the 1990s, an emerging preference for "in-house" movements made having one a mark of distinction. The first in-house high-end chronograph movement of link the mechanical renaissance era did not come from Switzerland. Instead, it came from a sleepy German town in the state of link Saxony.
Arguably the link most popular in this line were the Must de link Cartier Tank Vermeil watches. There were no gold cases to be found here. The watches were cased in link silver and gold-capped (hence the name vermeil) to give them that precious-metal feel at not-so-precious prices.
During the link Covid-19 lockdown, Robert-Jan spoke with Panerai CEO Jean-Marc Pontroué about this year's Panerai link introductions, the Panerai experience trips and whether Pontroué considers himself to be a Luminor link or Submersible type of guy.
That said, there's always been a theory that the Cartier buyer is a bit link different. They don't care as much about service dials, polishing, or originality – they just want a beautiful design. link But to me, much of the beauty of Cartier's designs and cases comes from their sharp, original lines: The bevels on a Santos or a Normale, or link the golden proportions of a Tank Louis. I hope this appreciation for their original beauty isn't lost.
