Happy Saturday.

Fresh for 2009-you suckers!

Last night I attended an event by Omega and GQ that honored Buzz Aldrin, one of the first men to ever walk on the moon, with a cocktail celebration marking the 40th anniversary of the lunar landing.

The event was held at the Omega Flagship Boutique on 5th Avenue.

The pouring rain made the trip rather difficult but while walking there,  I remembered a quote from Hagakure-The Book of the Samurai by Yamamoto Tsunetomo-

There is something to be learned from a rainstorm. When meeting with a sudden shower, you try not to get wet and run quickly along the road. But doing such things as passing under the eaves of houses, you still get wet. When you are resolved from the beginning, you will not be perplexed, though you still get the same soaking.

This understanding extends to everything.

I wear a Breitling Navitimer  and have only been jealous of the Omega watch simply because thats what James Bond wears.

It is also the only watch that has been worn on The Moon.

The  Omega Speedmaster has been released or the 40th anniversary Moon Landing-a special commerorative edition of the same watch retails for $5800-

NO automatic movement, it has so much  nostalgia that you actually have to wind this up.

There is a version that has automatic movement but that retails for $8000 and does not have the same face as the original.

As of the this writing there are on 7000+ pieces in existience.

The man of the hour showed up and the paparazzi snapped.

I snapped this with my rainsoaked blackberry curve 8320-whcih is why is slightly blurry.

Eventually I introduced myself and shook his hand and expressed what an honor it was to meet him.

To my surprise, Milo Ventimiglia also showed up! That reminds me I need to catch up and watch the last 3 episodes of the seasons HEROES!

Overall I had a nice time at the event, especially when they passed aroundthe cheese cake lollipops (delicious).

On my way out, I passed Buzz Aldrin again , we made eye contact and he said-“that’s a great tie”

Thanks Buzz!
