Cartier: Watches & Wonders 2013 Hot Post

Sep 28, 2013,19:37 PM
 

Friends,


As The Watches & Wonders 2013 closes in Hong Kong, I can make a quick Hot Post with this iPad thingy!

Most of the novelties from SIHH 2013 were shown plus a few pieces like the concept prototypes ID-One and ID-Two. Of course the ID watches are not for sale and kept under lock & key but as a special treat for The Watch magazine and PuristS readers in Hong Kong........






Mystery Tourbillon





More turning from Cartier




Bewitching green eyes of La Panthere......







Croco plays a cameo role





La Phoenix does a turn




Exquisite brooch and watch-in-one



Happy shiny ladies with the masculine Cartier MC background





Why they were happy!















ID-One out of its security box and that was a very special gesture!






Niobium-Titanium alloy




ID-Two was also unleashed and some PuristS were weak at the knees.....








This was an impossible event......




Although the ID watches are not for sale, some concepts are transposed into the production models and here is one of them......




I like it when a dream becomes reality!


Regards,
MTF

Great to seeing some watches we don't see that often in the flesh. Unfortunately i was'nt there, so cool to see part of the show. GEO

The Watch magazine and PuristS were very appreciative

Geo, In a culture of "face", the gesture was deeply appreciated; that we could actually see and hold (carefully) the 'impossible' watches. I have never seen them "out of the bulletproof box"! Thanks for your support. Regards, Melvyn

That really was a Hot Post

I never expected to see a hands on with the incredible ID Two concept watch. This one blows me away, not just for its technical achievements, but also for the very cool vacuum sealed transparent ceramic case ! Looking forward to seeing something realized ... 

The explanation was in Cantonese

We missed you but understand the Lange responsibilities

Ken, We missed you but guess the Lange and Soehne lunch for a few Japanese PuristS over-ran. Regards, MTF
