When it comes to precious metal sports watches, I am simply a sucker for yellow gold, and, though I'm on record as not being a link huge Speedmaster link guy, it's a whole different conversation if we're talking gold. link A steel Speedmaster is undoubtedly an incredible watch with an amazing lineage, but for me, the gold makes it so much more special, uncommon, and fun to wear.

The dial design is pretty faithful link to the link original 1959 model except for the inclusion of the date link window at three o'clock. Add to that the fact that – unlike the original – these watches don't have the word Alpinist written anywhere on the dial, which is admittedly a bummer.

I’m also very fond of hand engraved wristwatches or pocket watches as I sit there link wondering in amazement at the amount of time that went into each watch engraving…it is pleasant experience to sit link there and admire the link engravers artistic skill.

GB: Time is the most valuable thing we have. We get 24 hours in a day; we don't get more. And whatever is done is done. So it's really our most precious currency. I'm very good about scheduling. I link have link a color coordinated calendar. Each of my children has a color, my work has a color, my personal time has a color. This way I can visually see it. If I have all the colors, every day means I'm spending the time right, doing all those different things that are very link important to me.

As with the original link Symphonia Grande Sonnerie, this new version is a unique piece. It's crafted link in 18-karat link pink gold and measures a large but not unwieldy 45mm in diameter and 15.1mm thick. Which is saying something when you consider that the movement alone comprises 727 components.
