Calibre de Cartier, Now on a Bracelet
Last year Cartier launches the Calibre de Cartier line powered by the brand’s in-house 1904-PS movement. The watch represented an important step for the brand. Despite the clearly sporty aesthetics, the Calibre de Cartier was available only on a strap. At SIHH 2011, a new and decidedly more sporting version debuted on a bracelet.The new models are available in stainless steel with black or silver dial, and in 18K rose gold and stainless steel with a silver dial. The bracelets feature wide polished center links and thinner brushed outer links with a deployant-style folding clasp. At 42mm x 10mm, the case dimensions have not changed. Water resistance is 30 meters.For more on this watch and the movement that powers it, click here.As we go to press, only approximate U.S. pricing is available: steel version $7000; steel and gold $10,950

Found: One Of The Rarest Self-Winding Watches In The World, For Sale (What Is The Patek 2585?)

The finishing on the 12'''600 is superb, with a stunning engin

Hi Guys, This is my first post on this forum. I have always admired and wanted one of two Patek's but pulling the trigger was difficult as they all were double what my first home cost when I got married in 1969!! Yes, I am a 65 year old man with about 45 watches but no Pateks. Last week I was at my local AD's and looking over his substantial assortment in the case and the owner looked at me and asked if I was ready to spring for one? He took out of the safe a 5980/1a-001 that was unworn. One of his regular watch fanatics had bought it a year ago and never worn it but decided he was interetsed in something less casual. I stood at the counter and held it, looked at it and said how much? He gave me a price I could not refuse so I wrote the check and walked out with it in the box safe and sound. The next hurdle was getting it into the house without seeing Mt. Vesuvious erupt! I kept it in the office safe over the weekend. On Sunday I packed up about 20 watches to post for sale and h
