Few pictures taken this weekend in the Parc national des Écrins in France. Such a lovely place to walk, breathe... and take shots ;-)

"Cascade de la pisse". Well, I don't know if it's a good idea to translate in English. People who speak French will easily understand why ;-)

A thirsty Zeitwerk. The weather was so warm.

"Somewhere over the rainbow"

To conclude this "thirsty topic", what else than a good beer with wild thyme. Not so bad!

Best wishes

Alkiro

The Zeitwerk's movement is described as a 'universe packed in few cubic centimeters,' emphasizing its intricate beauty and unique appeal compared to other watches.
The contrast of such a refined timepiece on a nature walk is noted as an 'out of the ordinary situation,' highlighting the watch's versatility and the owner's adventurous spirit.
One contributor's wife, typically indifferent to watches, expressed admiration for the Zeitwerk, underscoring its broad appeal beyond typical enthusiasts.
The author recommends waiting for an 1815 Auf & Ab over a 'classic' 1815, suggesting it offers better value for a slightly higher price.
The quality of the photography is highly praised, with one commenter suggesting the images belong on a magazine cover featuring Lange.
