and to draw inwards and protect its owner.

I know this.

I work up to 16 hours to 18 hours to see suffering and complaints...sadness.

Now, after 3 decades of collecting all sorts of things beautiful and of great controversy, I came across several objects, very few...The Opus V was one such, and today, a standard so high, I have NOT yet seen or experienced OBJECTIVELY a creation so absorbing as the DB28.

This is something of great purity, of greatness that cannot be confined.

It is NOT inexpensive, but the only simple watches that are of this category belong to Opus V, Diavolo and the Parmigiani Bugatti Super sport.

Even the offering from DB25T is somewhat muted...I speak from the weight of ownership (painful when one is not super rich).

I share here the first VERY crude and rough pictures of my personal DB28 on the hour of its arrival last week.

 

The play of light on the curves of polished metal is only rivaled by the Opus V and the Bugatti Super Sport, both legends of watchmaking in my world.

These watches can CREATE worlds for you to inhabit, with the eyes and the mind...it can transport me from my clinic to a world of beauty and great meaning in life...doing things VERY WELL, and rewardingly it is fertile with goodness.

Please wait for my posts on the Bugatti Super Sport.

honest engineering, excellent finishing and arguably value for the $$$.

you have always told me to collect historically significant pieces...how, in your opinion is this piece historic, if at all? and relative that argument to say VH Antiqua?

congrats again,

an over exuberance in decor and styling.

It is one of those things like a fighter jet plane, can't be any serious beauty/aesthetics department there, but they (some) look beautiful just from functional design.

But uncertain about it's lasting appeal or historical significance.

think anyone has tested that.

the moment of wearing your personal DB28 for the first time.  It looks to me like a happy marriage between technology and art.

Enjoy it and wear it in good health,

level, this altitude of finish, and their long term experiences.

I think I would be too mesmerised by the magnificent blue of the watch that I would forget to read the time

Blued titanium..man oh man.

There is beauty and this is an original form of it.

Cologni himself mentioned that agriculture began the seeds of history...I disagree, it is the realisation of what can be beautiful as opposed to what is practical or expensive or powerful.

That is the point at which, for me, man began all historical markers.

Beauty is something that can be achieved with/without intent.

At the moment..I cant upload any pics...I will try again.

and your pictures give a right reward to this beauty (even if pictures are never as good as seeing them in the flesh).

The DB28 is an important step for DB, I know that more and more watch lovers like this brand and they fully deserve it.

Congratz again Bernard

Best,

Mark

thank you for all the pics and your thoughts Bernard.
