Fonderie 47 Transforming Cufflinks By Roland Iten
While these cufflinks are not a watch and don't tell the time, they are closely related to the watch industry. They are also the first cool item from an interesting brand which has just officially made its debut.The brand is Fonderie 47 (which I will explain more below) and the man who designed these cuff links for them is Roland Iten - a friend and very talented inventor who conceives things like the world's most expensive belt buckles. Now he has designed what is likely the world's most complicated and expensive cuff links.

Well forever was shortened when it was stolen from my home (long story) in 2013. The Datejust garnered a lot of attention so I also purchased a Tag Monaco WW2110 as well as a Tag Monaco Steve McQueen Calibre 11 boutique edition as well both of which which I still have. My homeowners insurance paid for the stolen Datejust I never replaced it. Fast forward 17 years later and I finally have my 9 month old son and want another Rolex to pass down to him.
