El más deseable. El día ha llegado. Nuestro primer Onyx Day-Date ha llegado a la tienda, ¡y qué ejemplo! Hemos visto fechas de días con esfera negra aquí antes y todas eran hermosas a su manera. Sin embargo, esta esfera tiene un color negro tan intenso que casi te sientes como si estuvieras mirando un agujero negro. La falta de índices y la mayor cantidad de impresiones en las esferas le dan al reloj una estética modesta pero poderosa. Menos es más debería ser el eslogan de este reloj. Rolex fabricó muchas esferas de piedras diferentes, como malaquita y lapislázuli, pero el ónix sigue siendo uno de los más populares hasta el día de hoy. Hay tantas cosas que escribir sobre un reloj tan extraordinario, pero la mejor manera de experimentarlo es venir y verlo usted mismo. Sólo así podrás entender por qué este reloj se ha convertido en el icono que es actualmente. El reloj es revisado por nuestros relojeros y viene con una garantía de dos años. Es un verdadero placer tener este en stock. Información de garantía: Estamos orgullosos de la calidad y durabilidad de nuestros relojes. Como testimonio de nuestro compromiso, cada reloj de nuestra colección viene con una garantía de 2 años para el movimiento mecánico. Esta garantía refleja nuestra confianza en la confiabilidad de nuestros relojes y le ofrece tranquilidad al abrazar la herencia y el estilo de una época pasada. Si tiene alguna pregunta, no dude en enviarnos un mensaje: ¡estamos aquí para ayudarlo en su viaje con los relojes antiguos!

Here we are at Hammurabi's Code and reading all about his code. I really like how "Story of the World" includes some of the actual laws. Only nine, though. There were certainly a good deal more than that. However, nine were quite enough. After reading each law, we talked about whether it was "fair" to the mind of my 6 year old. The one that really appalled him (and rightly so) was "If a doctor operates on a patient and the patient dies, the doctor's hand will be cut off" and he also had strong opinions about laws that involved "accidents", for the consequences seemed to him to be rather severe, in that case. So, he was more than ready to come up with some of his own laws, that would be even better than Hammurabi's. We wrote them on lined paper first. When you work with kids, you find that their viewpoints of the world are naturally tinged toward their own ideas of justice. Justice does matter to them. But they have their own ways of handing it out. This is obvious, but I will mention it anyway: Don't laugh at your kids ideas here. Keep a straight face. Listen, and let them write their own ideas down. They certainly don't have to "get it all right" on this activity. Sure, you can talk it over, to confirm what they are really saying, but try not to direct it too much. You might even be surprised at the good sense they show. Also, if they get tired out with writing, help them along. When they are this young, the idea is to let this be an enjoyable task which helps them experience creating their own laws. As you might be able to see, I took over the writing for him at number 4. Did I chuckle over this with my husband later, when my son couldn't hear? Yes, I definitely did. But, do you see #4? I did not lead him into that. He came up with the idea himself. I supplied the words "city-state" and "enforce", but his plan was to have someone (he said judge) to be in charge of each city to make sure everyone else followed the laws that he put in place. With number five, you'll probably chuckle, as I did. I think he was trying to offer mercy to those erstwhile murderers, by giving them an extra month, and at least that was more than Hammurabi offered. Speaking of offering, I want to share this Stone Tablet that I created for this activity with you. It's in my store, in a Free Product that has Glimmercat posing in a Sumerian crown with Hammurabi's carved stele held close: It contains a total of 4 pages: this cute cover, my usual Read-Me copyright page, this nice stone tablet printable: And a suggestion page for how to use it.
