This cute ladies watch from Cartier is called the Secret Panda. I don’t use the term “cute” all that often to describe timepieces, but this one certainly is. In all 18k white gold clad in diamonds, black sapphires, and two emeralds for the eyes, this little panda is literally humping the watch…

Cartier Calibre Chronograph Watch
In 2010 Cartier released a brand new collection of men’s watches called the Calibre. It was rather revolutionary for the brand for a couple of reasons, bringing Cartier’s men’s collection into the 21st Century.

Cartier Astrotourbillon Carbon Crystal Limited Edition Watch
Cartier recently wowed watch nerds with the rather impressive Cartier ID Two concept watch. Those with the budget to even theoretically purchase one are likely to be disappointed that the ID Two (like the ID One watch) will never be for sale. However, at the same time Cartier announced the ID Two, it also announced [...]
Cartier ID Two Concept Watch: Goodbye Metal
In the slow warm Swiss summer, Cartier wrapped up its announcement of their latest concept watch called the ID Two (ID2).

Cartier Artistic Crafts & High Jewelry Watches For 2012
At the exclusive watch show SIHH, Cartier has one of the largest booths. A lot of their space is dimly lit with museum style showcases offering glimpses of items you probably won’t see anywhere else.

Cartier Tank Anglaise Watch Hands-On
I attended a rather interesting dinner with Cartier where a several minute long discussion on the origin of the “Tank” name took place. “Tank” is a name applied to many Cartier watches, but records show that no one is quite sure where the name came from. Most people agree it actually does refer to military [...]

Cartier Temps Modernes de Cartier Watch Hands-On
“Well ain’t that pretty” I thought when checking out this new high-jewelry piece from Cartier this year. “Too bad it is a woman’s watch.” You could almost mistake it as a men’s piece given its 42.8mm wide size.

Cartier Calibre Astrotourbillon Watch
Over the last few years my interest and respect for Cartier has really grown. Sure, a lot of their timepieces are mass produced, but they have a penchant for good, lasting design. No doubt I am not a fan of all of their watches, but little escapes from their manufacture without being really good for [...]
Cartier Calibre Watch Now With Bracelet
The Cartier Calibre is not only Cartier’s new flagship men’s watch, but also their new flagship case to to use for high-complication men’s watches.

Cartier Ballon Bleu Extra-Flat Watch Hands-On
Among Cartier’s many new releases for 2011 was this ultra-thin version of the popular Ballon Bleu. I am not totally sure why the Ballon Bleu is so popular. As a women’s watch I totally get it. It has a elegant, bubbly beauty to it and some nice rounded curves. I mean the word “balloon” is [...]
Cartier Calibre Multi Time Zone Watch
I was very interested in this watch because it was more than just another nice mechanical movement that showed the time in a funny way. This new world time watch (Multi Time Zone) in the Cartier Calibre collection has some neat features. My favorite is the city selector disc placed on the side of the [...]
