Close-Up: Cartier Calibre de Cartier Diver
Of all the watches that debuted at last year’s SIHH watch fair in Geneva, perhaps the one I least expected was a dive watch from Cartier. And it turned out to be one of the coolest new watches in recent years. In this article from my blog, Watch-Insider, I give you the scoop on Cartier’s foray into the world of “real” sports watches.The Cartier Calibre de Cartier Diver is an unmistakably masculine watch for both everyday wear and extreme conditions; it meets the challenge of combining the classical Cartier style with the technical requirements necessary to be considered a true divers’ watch under the international standard ISO 6425. To meet this standard, the watch must meet eight criteria for reliability and pass a series of extremely rigorous tests.Cartier Calibre de Cartier Diver in steel (above) and rose gold (below)For those who are unfamiliar with the ISO standard, these are the main criteria:Unidirectional turning bezelTo prevent any accidental rota

41mm Royal Oak Frosted Gold in White Gold
Good news for those men who've been contemplating to get the Frosted Gold but were deterred by the 37mm size. The Frosted Gold is now available in a 41mm WG case with a blue dial and is limited to 200 pieces.

Would a navitimer bracelet fit the 44mm chronomatic?
Appreciate the feedback

Unique opportunity expedited my grail!
Got a call from my AD last Saturday telling me they have something for me.Long and short of it, my grail had walked in their door, a pre owned version! They know I'm a savvy buyer and would never have bought this new unless a decent discount. Watch is literally 2 months old, was sold by my AD and bought back from the AD. I wasn't going to buy this until I hit a certain financial goal but what the heck!!! Now I need a new reward lol.BeholdSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Incoming - Custom Ceramic Daytona
Last August, I purchased a black face ceramic Daytona from an AD after a year wait. Beautiful watch but to me could be better. I contacted Les Artisans de Geneve to customize it, with a 6263 hand made face, vintage polishing, and new vintage hands. The goal was to keep as much as modern as possible with a vintage flavor. I understand many of you may have your own views of customizing an already fine time piece. The result though to me is stunning and I wanted to share it with the community. Les Artisans... is a company to work with. Currently, the watch is not in my hands yet but here are some pictures of the completed piece on its way. Sent from my BBB100-3 using Tapatalk
