To mark the hour, carried away by the torrent, the year passes

This model is not very fashionable and yet it has many advantages, it is equipped with the robust 2609NA movement, has a textured dial with metallic reflections and especially a clear railway with "oversize" numbers which are very appreciable for the old people who see their eyesight decline, without going as far as the watch for the visually impaired that is the big zero, or even the tactile watch for the blind. Raketa knows how to make watches adapted to people with reduced visual abilities. The font of the numbers is captivating, it gives the impression that the numbers are hammered, that the hours fall inevitably like a powerful and rhythmic mass, whether it is our own rhythm that we imprint on our life or the one that inevitably falls on us: the rhythm of worries and problems of all kinds. This duodecimal string of numbers that tick away makes us think of the twelve hours of the half-day but also of the twelve months of the year where life and its string of worries take place. That's why I think when wearing it of the very rhythmic title of Elysium, "all year long" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uXM2bUjtew ). A captivating song of despair and hope mixed together. The chrome-plated brass case, type 621, with a clipped steel case back. The scaled bracelet suits it well but the organic glass is a little fragile when you're too active or clumsy. Adjectives: readable, punctuated, classy, reliable, caring
