Sad and shocking news
Hi,
It is always sad to learn a death, especially when unexpected. It is even more difficult to admit when you learn the death of a very active, passionate and respectable man.
I'm sad for his family, friends and for all at Sowind.
Thank you Dr Macaluso for all you've done for your industry, your company and for us all fans of horology.
As is the tradition in Italy at such times, let us all applaud for your life and career.
My sincerest condolences to the Macaluso family.
