Cartier Sues Apple Over Infringing iPhone App
The Wall Street Journal Online is reporting that Cartier filed a lawsuit against Apple Inc. in Manhattan on Friday claiming that a third-party iPhone app available from Apple’s App Store infringed Cartier’s trademarked designs. The app, called Fake Watch, displayed well-known watch designs on the iPhone screen. Apple quickly removed the app from their store and issued an apology, and shortly thereafter a Cartier attorney announced that the lawsuit would be withdrawn, saying that Cartier’s concerns had been addressed.

Thought I'd do a little mixing and matching... Standard ROC above the plots, Messi from the plots down.

Early incoming
So this is nothing close to the awesome incomings I've seen on here, especially the epic grand complication recently, however it means quite a bit to me as it is my first Patek. I've been hoping to acquire a Patek for a long time and it is perfect timing that I would finally receive one on my birthday of all days. I placed an order with my longtime AD back in June and was told to expect the watch around Christmas. To my great surprise I got a text at the end of last week with a picture of the sealed watch saying it's ready for pick up. Received the watch yesterday and man, it does not disappoint. I've had watches from many other manufacturers and it was quite a special moment to put on my first Patek. Thanks to the forum for providing great insight and photos on this crazy passion of ours. On to the pics...Still sealedFirst time on the wristGreat presentation Love the viewWristshotMy small collection meets its new friendCheers everyone! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
