Trading Places: Cartier’s Story Of The Turtle And The Snake

Cartier has been for over a century synonymous with form-shaped watches. In some cases, like the Tortue, the inspiration came from the animal kingdom, something we also see extensively in the brand's jewelry collections, both past, and present. But as the "jeweler of kings and king of jewelers," their creativity goes even further, combining the art of watchmaking with that of jewelry in the Cartier Libre collection. Here, anything is possible, such as trading places, dressing up a Baignoire like a turtle, and turning a Tortue into a snake.

It is almost Fathers Day again, that time of the year to surprise dad with something special to show our appreciation for all he has done and is still doing. The most precious gift is the time we spend together with him. However, to also give him a constant reminder of how you value him when you cannot be together, a watch might be an appropriate gift. Such as one of the following four:

Here are four of our personal favorites:

The Hottest Ladies Watches Of Watches & Wonders 2021

Watches & Wonders was a great success, even though it was with the exception of the event in Shanghai, a virtual event. The watch brands quickly adapted to the new reality and dazzled from abroad through the digital channels. What, fortunately, didn't change was the vast amount of amazing watches that they introduced. For men, but also for ladies, there are plenty of new models to choose from. A current trend for women's watches is that mechanical movements are the new standard, of course, accompanied by a generous dash of elegance.

Cartier Launches New Ballon Bleu In The Perfect Size

In watchmaking, a millimeter more or less can make all the difference. This year, Cartier is launching the Ballon Bleu in a new 40mm large case. With this, 'La Maison' keeps the watch in line with current trends and on point in terms of design. Initially launched in 2007 has the Ballon Bleu quickly become one of the best-selling models of Cartier, and one of the pillars of the brand's watchmaking collection. Thanks to its pebble-shaped case, is it one of the most comfortable watches to wear, while its crown guard gives it a unique appearance.

Haute Time’s Hottest Watches Of 2020 Part II

Despite the pandemic, many brands did not hold back when it came to releasing new models. What usually would be launched at one of the fairs or during a special event was now presented by Zoom- and Skype-meetings. Fortunately, this doesn't make the watches any less impressive, as the following five prove;

The Magic Of Owning A Celebrity’s Wristwatch

Owning a rare watch of exquisite quality is one of life's true pleasures. Most of these watches have been made by brands with a history spanning decades, if not centuries. This gives it quite a bit of pedigree, but if the previous owner of such a watch was also a well-known celebrity, its appeal increases on all levels.

Watch of the Week: Santos de Cartier Chronograph

The Santos de Cartier Chronograph can best be described as dynamic elegance. Its sense of refinement comes from the iconic case and its distinct bezel, which now extends to where the bracelet or strap begins, one of the hallmarks of the in 2018 redesigned collection. While it maintains the recognizable profile of the Santos, it also provides it with a fresh look. The chronograph version is visually more dynamic than its time-only sibling. This is in part due to the subdials, which Cartier spaced out perfectly. The dial features the signature Roman numerals, along with a partial railroad track along the outer perimeter, marking the hours and minutes.

Cartier Révélation d’Une Panthère; An Extraordinairy Diamond Delight

As a jeweler, does Cartier know everything there is to know about diamonds. 'La Maison' plays an integral part in the history of many iconic diamonds, including the famous 45.52 carats large Hope diamond, which can be admired in the Smithsonian Institution. Also, in their collection of jewelry and watches have diamonds always enjoyed a prominent place. In nearly all cases, they have a static role being set in rings or bracelets or adorning the cases and bezels of watches. The Cartier Révélation d'Une Panthère is, in that matter unique, as here the diamonds play a more active role in dazzling you.

Throwback Thursday; Cartier Tank à Guichets

The history of Cartier is filled with many incredible watches, often in unique shapes. Over the years, many have become icons of 'La Maison' and gathered quite a few fans along the way. Others remain somewhat of a mystery, as they are so rare that they hardly ever come up for sale, and are often not more than a footnote in most books. This is also the case with the Tank à Guichets, with its novel way of indicating the time.
