I liked this ad

A forum member purchased a Constellation Grand Luxe ad for me, which appeared in magazines in the late 1950s . . . .



I loved the ad, but it was in Spanish. . . so I got a friend to translate. Then I realized the same ad in English was in Omega: A Journey Through Time. So I used that to modify the translation to better reflect the English version.



I decided to frame the ad with the English translation in cutouts. So here's the result . . . .











And each item framed . . . first the original 1958 ad









. . . the main text of the ad . . . .









. . . . the small text of the ad, including a view of the subject of the ad.











And a couple of close ups of the watch . . . . .
