In that era of war, a killing machine was transformed into a beautiful whisper of time. A century later, humanity seems to be repeating the same path, with the ugliness and goodness of human nature constantly playing out before our eyes. About | A Story of Love I found this timepiece in a small antique shop in Paris that specialized in vintage goods. The owner told me they were Eastern European immigrants from the Iron Curtain era. A friend of theirs, who also left Eastern Europe for France, mentioned that this watch was a gift from his friend to his wife – their first gift after establishing roots in France. Now, they have grown old and have moved from Paris to the French countryside to retire. Therefore, they left this watch in Paris, hoping it would find a new owner to continue its legacy of love.
