Channeling inner Ian Fleming with 1942 Remington Remette Portable Typewriter and 2024 Rolex Explorer. From The New York Times: "Rising early for a swim in the aquamarine waters in the cove below his idyllic Jamaican retreat, Goldeneye, Fleming tapped away at his Remington portable typewriter with six fingers for three hours in the morning and an hour in the afternoon — 2,000 words a day, a completed novel in two months, all the while keeping up the sybaritic lifestyle that led Noël Coward, a frequent guest at Goldeneye and no puritan himself, to describe the Fleming household as "golden ear, nose and throat."" https://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/19/arts/19iht-19bond.13005924.html Ian Fleming's corner desk photo is from: https://oztypewriter.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-spy-who-typed-me-50-years-of-james.html

He had a crazy contract with his news paper. Who the hell gets three months off in the summer other than teachers and professors.
