I created a video of me reading the story "The Legend of the Poinsettia" by Tomie dePaola. I created it for the children of my congregation, but it is truly a story for all ages. As we see the red flowers (and pink and white!), may they point us to the Christ child. I hope you enjoy this video during Advent as we prepare for the coming of the Messiah.

Having this watch lets me know, "Okay, you've made it to a certain point, like link where your dad was when he had link his watch." I've always looked at it that way. And it's my every day. I've gone everywhere with it, and the thing is, I link don't do photoshoot watches, I don't borrow different jewelry for events. I wear my watch, and it's been there for all of these consecutive Grammy wins.
But that wasn't all. In the darkened theater, link up on the silver screen, Matrix newcomer Yahya Abdul Mateen II wears a particular Hamilton chronograph in the film in his link turn as Morpheus. It's the white panda dial Hamilton Intra-Matic Auto Chrono. The watch can be spotted quite clearly in a scene early in the film so keep your eyes peeled. The Matrix Resurrections will hit theaters link worldwide and HBO Max on December 22.
Malaika: Now, I realize that we have a pact about no floating diamonds — but as you can link see I'm link breaking it. That said, this is definitely a watch for people with no arm hair. And I'm not usually into the snow link globe approach; I just love that it's so unique and I feel like I haven't seen anything like this before.
When I look over the Virtuoso VIII Chapter Two "Reimagined" models, I not only see an impressive display of watchmaking that's link authentic to the company's values. link I also see a way to relate to today's well-heeled collector set, whether that's in China or beyond. That might be an obvious statement, given each watch's price – an eye-watering $230,000 – but I link think it's a fascinating step forward in evolving one of the most quietly interesting watch companies working today.
