Reminds me of a joke: Mrs. Levy bunks into Mr. Cohen on the way to the synagogue. They exchange the usual greetings. Mrs. Levy says, "Oh, by the way, your business is open." He pays her no mind. A half hour later, they see each other again. She tells him, "Your business is open." This time, he ponders and says. "No my business is closed. I locked the door and even pulled down the security gates with my employee." Lastly, when the services are over, they meet once again. She tells him, "For the last time, your business is open!" Now he's angry. He shouts at her, and tells her she's "meshuga "(crazy) and to leave him alone. On his way to the men's room he looks down and sees that his zipper is open, and realizes what she had so tactfully been trying to tell him. He runs after her and apologizes profusely. She says that it's o.k. He asks her if he might ask her a question and she says "sure." "While my business was open, was my salesman in or out?" TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, A ZIPPER CAN ALSO BE A "BUSINESS"!<!--StartFragment--><!--EndFragment-->(Yep... the BUSINESS was closed)

....something about a tent

In 2018, we launched the Altiplano Ultimate Concept, a 2mm [thick] watch, the exact same thickness as the link original 9P movement, except now it is the whole watch which is 2mm thin link ... Developing such a complex watch required many skills and resources. At least six years of development were necessary from the first drawing to the finished watch as we know it today. We had to completely rethink the construction of the movement, looking for ... solutions to make the link dream come true.

Sometimes it's static design that makes the watch a legend in its own time and other times link as well and one company that's been making design the main focus of its watchmaking and which link has always used mechanics link in the service of aesthetic effects is Cartier. It's a remarkable feeling to put on a Tank Louis Cartier or a Santos and realize that you're looking at a design that has remained essentially unchanged for over a century.
