May 17/12 - 11:00 >> The working sample landed here and I had an opportunity to handle and listen. In short, this is a great watch. I like it - despite the size says 45mm, it doesn't wear that big. Sure, a bit thick, but I could live with it. One thing I am a bit uncomfortable was the stiffness of the minute repeater "p... Read more..

May 16/12 - 09:02 >> One of my favourite watches from Cartier last year was the incredibly striking Tortue with jaguar motif in enamel. It was so arresting you can barely see the time. This year Cartier has continued on the same theme with the Rotonde de Cartier with tiger motif. Big cats are one of the key creatures in... Read more..

Apr 29/12 - 09:23 >> Cartier is one of the most important brands in the history of wristwatches. If the Santos was the first Cartier wristwatch, the Tank is clearly the most iconic Cartier watch. I write "the Tank" but I should write "the Tank family". Collecting Cartier Tank watches would be enough for a fulfilled coll... 
Apr 25/12 - 20:49 >> Cartier introduced the soon to be discontinued Santos 100 Carbon in 2009. Coated in black amorphous diamond-like carbon (ADLC), the watch was quite a departure from the typical Cartier look. I wrote in my SIHH report of 2009: “This is a very unusual step for Cartier, both in terms of materials... 
Apr 20/12 - 20:15 >> Cartier recently opened the "Cartier & Aldo Cipullo: New York City in the 70s" exhibition in its flagship Fifth Ave store in New York. Over 40 Cartier items from the seventies as well as archive material will be on show. It runs from Apr 13 to May 8. Cipullo was Cartier's in-house designer in the la... 
Apr 19/12 - 05:13 >> I posted this on the Patek forum but thought it my be of interest here too: One of the last Pateks to be retailed by Cartier when this relationship came to an end in 1961. The markers are particularly unusual and rare. Thanks for looking. Roni...

Apr 18/12 - 19:15 >> Cartier has just premiered the brilliant short film L'Odyssée de Cartier. As the title suggests it takes the viewer on a journey through Cartier's history. Numerous details from Cartier's history are visible in the film if you look carefully. This is well worth watching. - SJX... 
Apr 13/12 - 11:42 >> A round face is the perfect for telling the time. A circle is unbroken and continuous, just like the flow of time. And so it is unsurprising that most watches are round. And even if they are angular, the dials are round, or at least rounded. The Royal Oak for example is octagonal, but the classic ta... 
Mar 29/12 - 13:05 >> The recently launched short film L'Odyssée de Cartier deftly covers the 165 years of Cartier’s history in three and a half minutes of video. Most of the major themes, personalities and events in Cartier’s history are covered or referenced. Bringing the viewer through the tale is the... 
Mar 29/12 - 12:47 >> This has been rumoured for some time but finally the news is official, the current CEO of Van Cleef & Arpels, Stanislas de Quercize, will become the next CEO of Cartier once Bernard Fornas retires later this year. Mr de Quercize has done an admirable job of growing VC&A into one of the largest brand... 
Mar 26/12 - 08:01 >> One of Cartier's most iconic wristwatches is the Tortue monopusher chronograph. Created in the 1920s and then revived as part of the Collection Privee Cartier Paris, it is one of the most recognisable wristwatch chronographs of any brand. But the Tortue monopusher, vintage or modern, is pricey. And ... 
Mar 22/12 - 09:46 >> After enjoying my Samtos for a day, found 2 white spots on the casing... Sent it back to my AD & just got a reply that they will be doing a 1 to 1 exchange for me but I just have to wait. This is the only reason why I keep going back to AD, they have never disappoint me when something goes wrong. Rg...
