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. It was also a mass produced watch that contained an in-house made Cartier movement – something that previously only existed in their most high-end pieces.I knew the Calibre would be a hit from the start when I first discussed it here. It was handsome, the right size, and very much what a modern guy wanted in a Cartier. Sure models like the Santos and Roadster would always be popular, but I think Cartier needed something with a little sport in it as well as?pizzazz. Since 2010 Cartier has trickled out variations on the original design by adding a bracelet option in 2011, and for 2012 there is a chronograph. For a full hands-on review on the original Cartier?watch (on the bracelet) see this article.
Chopard L.U.C XP Esprit de Fleurier Peony Watch
It may come as a surprise, but rarely do I wear fuchsia-strapped, diamond-encrusted, rose-gold-cased watches with brightly colored floral dials. I’m not really sure how to deal with the cold, hard reality that the Chopard?L.U.C XP Esprit de Fleurier Peony watch makes me want to.Let me make one thing clear: My attraction to this watch is purely aesthetic. I promise you I have not fallen for the fantastic press release pitch that heralds Chopard’s special relationship with the peony (which is a flower, in case anyone is wondering) as some kind of existentialist metaphor. Nor am I completely convinced that the peony was one of?Chopard co-president Caroline Scheufele’s favorite flowers until she started working for the company. What I wholly buy into, though, is that the peony is a very popular flower in China. I would wager that might be why we get an annual release inspired by this fleetingly flowering bloom.
