One man’s mission to share with the world the fine art of cufflinks.
Each blog a different pair and each blog a different story. Read on in this series....
If you are lucky enough to travel to Hamburg there are two magnificent things to look out for…..the new Hamburg Opera House that is under construction and it’s International Airport.
Hamburg boasts one of the oldest and longest running opera companies in the world, the Hamburg State Opera and with Australian Simone Young at the helm, they can also boast one of the finest. She is a graduate of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and is considered the preeminent Maestro in the world of Opera. One can only hope that when they open the new opera house designed by Herzog & de Meuron, that she will be there waiving the baton.
While cuff links are not strictly in the wardrobe of all conductors, I am sure that Maestro Young has had occasion to wear them at the rostrum. She is your scribes hero(ine) and our Link Person of the day.
Now back to airports……Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel Airport is one of Germanys finest and always a pleasure to travel through. Excellent facilities and close proximity to the main city equates to a good travel experience all in all. One thing that your scribe also likes best is that Hamburg is one of the few airports in the world that has been replicated in a “mini world” tourist facility at the famous Miniatur Wunderland. The model at some 1,600 square feet in size boasts approximately 40,000 lights, 15,000 figurines, 500 cars, 10,000 trees, 50 trains, 1000 wagons, 100 signals, 200 switches and 300 buildings. If the asset manager at the airport ever has any major problems at the airport he can always head to Miniatur Wunderland and hide there for a couple of days!!!!!
Today’s cuff links are stainless steel airplanes and are Hamburg bound. They are worn with a Savile Row cotton shirt and silk Gene Meyer of New York tie.
