Luxury watchmaker, Cartier announced that actor Jake Gyllenhaal will join the brand as the new face for its iconic Santos De Cartier timepiece.

One of the conclusions of the report is that large, well-funded companies that already have strong brand recognition are doing much better than smaller brands. That advantage is reinforced among luxury holding companies, which again benefit from having big pockets

Cartier has a very rich watchmaking history. The majority of the watches that they made, especially in the earlier years of La Maison, have always been remarkably uncomplicated. It was their refined case shapes, matched with classic, elegant dials that were the focus. But there are exceptions to this, like this Cartier Tortue Monopoussoir from 1929.

Few places in the world can rival with jewelry shopping in the Big Apple. New York City not only houses the boutiques from some of the most esteemed names in Haute Joaillerie from the continent but is also home to America's own major league of jewelers. Their popularity has made it that they even have been included in pop-culture, such as in Marilyn Monroe's "Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend" or the iconic movie "Breakfast At Tiffany's."

The announcement of the pre-SIHH models always feels like Christmas is coming early! These previews most certainly wet the appetite, and are a sign of great things to come!

The first releases by Cartier are variations of its iconic Mysterious movement: the Skeleton Mysterious Double Tourbillon and the Mysterious Day & Night

Granted, these skeletons are not very scary, so that might make them even more perfect for your closet because they will complement a large range of outfits.
