Thank you Gourab for giving such a vivid description of a beautiful moment ....
I always wonder, what is the purpose of photography- art or documentation! Or may we say it is the art of documenting? I remember a cloudy afternoon in Jadavpur. I was returning from the University. It used to be a long walk from our Department near Gate No 4 to the Railway Station. When I was passing by the playground, I saw dark clouds stooping over the green. A regular sight during monsoon, yet so beautiful. Suddenly I discovered an open umbrella. Besides the playground. Black. Leaning against the cloudy backdrop. Someone might have kept it there to dry it up. Or maybe some other reason. However, it created a photographic frame. Too mesmerizing to overlook. It was a time when people did not have cameras on their mobile phones. You don't have anything to capture the moment. The only thing you can do is store that in your memory and wait for a deja vu to happen. But, you know, these are fleeting moments. They don't come back. -- Gourab Chattopadhyay

Through the silicone ear-tips, the chosen melody spreads its benefits, and by manipulating the on-board remote control on the cable, it's possible to skip to the next track, link return to the previous one, adjust the link volume, or take a call through link the included microphone.
A few months passed and I found myself back in Tel Aviv on a short break between an intensive Hebrew course link at the beginning of my formal military service and the official start of my time in the Brigade. The watches were still there, sitting in the shop window. While the steel example link was refinished, the link gold version's dial seemed to be correct.
But what I really love about this is link the decision to keep the link watches at a size many would consider to be too small by contemporary standards. I mean, who makes mass-produced 37mm link watches at this price point anymore? Few brands, to say the least, and my hat is off to Seiko for the respect it's paying to the well-loved SNXS line.
His watch is an IWC ref. 436 pilot's watch. This model was first manufactured in 1936. It has link that quintessential pilot look in terms of the overall dial design, with Arabic numerals on the dial. The watch features a small seconds subdial, the classic International Watch Company wordmark, and Anti-Magnetique text just beneath the hands. It also has a rotating bezel with an index for measuring short periods link of link elapsed time.
With a simple but legible and nicely balanced dial design, this is Monta's first link watch to use a mirror-polished bezel to connect with the new handset and link marker design used for the Noble. With any of the Montas I've experienced in the past, the finishing and details are remarkable for the price point, and from the angular applied markers to the polished bevel on the bezel edge (and even on the inner edge of the lug and bracelet), the Noble looks to have received the same link level of attention.
