She is, indeed, very happy. She said she was sitting at a stop light gazing at her watch and the light turned green - someone had to honk at her because she was lost in the moment 😁

Chapeau, my friend!

My hope is that these images stay with that piece as it changes hands in my family in the years ahead. It’s way more than a watch now.
