Juste un Clou by Cartier


Cartier has unveiled its version of the rugged bent nail bracelet, called ‘Juste un Clou,’ with a whopping price tag to match. Starting at $3,000, the piece may have a steep price, but the quality is indeed sharp as nails.
The bracelets come in a variety of finishes ranging from white gold to pink gold adorned with diamonds. The bracelet is part of Cartier’s newly launched collection and to celebrate its release, Cartier is hosting an exhibit at its New York museum that showcases the jeweler’s history and the birth of the original bracelet’s design.

Pocket Watch by Cartier for SIHH 2012




For each of the past few years at the SIHH show in Geneva, Cartier has unveiled a “grande complication” wristwatch featuring a tourbillon, perpetual calendar and monopusher chronograph.
This year, Cartier has drawn inspiration from Cartier pocket watches produced in the 1930′s to produce this eye-catching piece.
The watch is crafted in white gold, with skeletonized Roman numerals, something that we have also seen the past few years in some of Cartier’s higher end pieces.

The world’s largest shop for luxury watches in Paris in 2013




Luxury Swiss retail giant Richemont, owner of such brands as Cartier, Piaget and Jaeger-LeCoultre, is to open the world’s largest shop for luxury watches in Paris.
Business Montres quoted an internal memo saying a three-storey 2,200 square metre (24,000 square foot) shop would open early 2013.
The shop would take over the premises of the landmark Old England shop near the Place Vendome, famous for its luxury watch shops and hugely popular with Middle Eastern and Asian tourists, in particular Chinese.
France’s La Tribune daily said Richemont would pay 70 million euros ($94 million) for the site.
Swiss luxury watch distributor Bucherer would run the new shop, with Richemont stumping up the cash.
“Watch-lovers will find a top-level selection of famous and prestigious watches, in an exclusive atmosphere,” Bucherer’s management was quoted as saying in the memo dated November 30.
Cartier boss Bernard Fornas told Les Echos financial daily that the new site would make it easier to receive coachloads of tourists.
Business Montres said that the Paris watch market would undergo major changes, with the rise of big shops forcing the closure of many small retailers.

Cartier Cadran Lové Tourbillon watch


Cartier Cadran Lové Tourbillon watch, a piece that will be officially unveiled in January 2012 at SIHH in Geneva, Switzerland.
This piece builds off of previous innovations and design motifs to result in this interesting looking timepiece.
The Caliber 9458 powering the Cadran Lové Tourbillon is a variant of an already existing tourbillon (the ladies “Alligator Tourbillon”) but the watch itself is decidedly masculine, i.e. with sculpted Roman numerals rather than a pave diamond crocodile.
The tourbillon is actually a “flying tourbillon”, a complicated execution of the tourbillon in which the tourbillon carriage seems to “fly” on bridges.
Cartier connoisseurs will recognize the Roman Numeral design from to that used on the Santos skeleton watches in prior years.
