Dominion Tower Zaha Hadid Building in Moscow

Here is the building of Dominion Tower, Moscow, built according to a project by the renowned Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid as it appears in winter.


It is the only Zaha Hadid building in Russia, I think.


It serves as an office center.















There is a fairly nice cafe in there.



And I had a bite myself.





Inside the lobby.

Watch Photography: Orient "Kamasu" aka Mako III Limited Edition

Here is some watch photography from one of my other blogs, and for this one I used my Sony rx100 m2 and higher ISO values which I think improved focusing.

BEGINS



It seems I am on a roll as regards adding (affordable) timepieces to my collection, and here is a 2018 Limited Edition Orient RA-AA 0007A09A Mako III aka Kamasu!


After unboxing... however I should say the box is not a Limited Edition box, just what the store had.





Reference... which is RA-AA 0007A09A



Limited Edition! Only 2000 in the world and only 70 in Russia! ... and only 1 in my collection!



The blue dial is something special... mother of pearl, I believe.


Differences from other Kamasus include: a mother of pearl dial, different hands, bezel, sapphire crystal, made in Japan and, of course, the limited edition inscription and a number out of 2000.


The gold-plated bezel looks good... means you can wear the watch with gold rings on same hand without committing a style crime (as in combining stainless steel watch and a gold signet).






Focus on the dial.
