Amerix, I have some troubles understanding your objections...
'Before starting this typical PR you had to remark' - I don't see the problem here. I stated that the following is a press release, as such by definition 'typical' in sense of promoting a watch, written and designed by the brand itself. I did not give the impression that I wrote this nor that it represents my opinion.
' That may well be, but should not serve as an introduction to the PR itself. ' - could you share a bit why?
' as a person, not as a Moderator' - dito, Moderators are not brand-ambassadors and not cheerleader in chief (which in the specific case would be non-sensical if one assumes economic reasons behind), thus ...
' Why do you "love" this particular watch?' - I allow myself to answer this quite valid question as a (moderating) person:
There is for me no doubt that RG has for me personally (' I am helplessly... ') this watch is a piece of art. The way it is designed, purely aesthetically speaking, is extremely appealing to me, a mosaic structure implemented with tiles made of semi-precious stone, each of them obviously carefully selected. Look how the light floats through them!
Then there is the scenery - Rio de Janeiro is a favourite city of mine, the surroundings well imprinted into my photographic memory, not only the statue, but also the calçada promenade close Ipanema beach with its idiosyncratic stone patterns - all excellent memories on a city I frequently visit.
As regards the construction of the watch I think this is technically a very original and excellently executed watch with a lot of typical details instantly recognisable as a Romain Gauthier watch. I think Don has extensively written about this watch.
Both artistry and watchmaking class are aptly wrapped into a half hunter watch which again leaves the time dial open for reading the time (think Breguet Ref. 1801), but fashioned in a way that naturally fits RG's original movement layout.
So, there is little not to love - at least for me... ;-)
Thus, when the press release came in I was shortly before heading to a meeting - I wanted to share with those who do not necessarily read the News section, and what I posted was what time allowed.

This PR is just another mix of information and advertising.
Strike out the adjectives in this Press Release - all of them - to make it halfway readable! That leaves me with one of my own - NOISOME. "Unique piece" can be treated as a single word. Now if you had attached your comment "helplessly in love" at the end ...
Wow what a piece of art!
The dial cover is so beautifully crafted from the pics. Personally I am not a fan of artistic watches but this one is pretty nice to me (acrylic on the dial cover?). The colors and design work very well together. Thanks for sharing the press release with ...
