Matched with a blue dial and Sedna gold bezel with blue ceramic insert is this 43mm large watch stunning above and below water. While it is even equipped with a sapphire caseback is the water-resistant still a generous 300 meters.

Rolex Daytona ‘Rainbow’

Hublot Big Bang Integral King Gold

Hublot is known to push the envelope, and when it comes to gold, it is no different. With their proprietary King gold, they have created an even warmer shade than traditional 5N gold.

I struggle to contain my enthusiasm for horological matters. When I am excited, the alacrity of my speech gains momentum, adopting a staccato style and becoming barely decipherable as it reaches a crescendo. The passion I have for fine watchmaking is manifest with energetic speech and animated non-verbal behavior.
