Cartier Crash Watch Returns
This is one of those irresistible stories to discuss no matter how many times it has been told or how morbid the details. It involves Cartier, one of the most mysterious and popular watch and jewelry brands on the planet, and stories like this make watch collecting worth the money.A few years ago I noticed a vintage Cartier watch that looked as though it had been melted. I barely believed it was real. It didn't have a name or details, but I realized something must have been special about it. I later learned that it was a Cartier Crash. Originally produced in 1967 and later in the early 1990s as a limited edition, this extremely rare watch is a testament to emotion influencing design and the oddity that is the luxury world. Cartier will release a new limited edition collection of the Crash watch for 2013 as a high-end?jewelry?piece on a bracelet. While this new edition is a vast departure from the theme of the original, it is interesting to see Cartier continue the legend of the Crash.A

'new' warranty cards + question
I'm looking to acquire a pre-owned from a seller in EU.he's sent me all photos of the card and papers, and i noticed the warranty card does not have the AD stamp or date.he's telling the 'new' cards now require electronic (online) registration, and no longer have stamping by ADs.the watch, card and books all have consistent serial# stamps.can anyone verify if this is true?I'm just wondering how does AP verify purchase date (and therefore warranty expiration) if there's no paper trail (assuming no printed receipt from AD)?lastly, anyone know if JB Jewelers in Israel and UK is an AP AD?tks!
