Food Presentation and my vote for the evening
My Cartier worn for the evening...Tortue Monopoussoir Chronograph, with Chateau Margaux 99. As per Les Amis standards, wine decanted two hours prior to serving of the main. medium bodied, velvety and soft, hint of floral inbuilts and tobacco-ish...perfect for the wagyu beef.
Marinated German White Asparagus with Uni and Caviar
Parsnip Cappuccino Gillardeau Oyster Shaved Red Wine Foie Gras
Steamed Brittany Blue Lobster with Tomatoes and Ramp Leaves Ravioli
Brittany Cod 'Sous Vide' on Crispy Shrimps and Maitaka Mushrooms
Char-grilled Wagyu 'Calotte De Boeuf' cooked in Hay Sweet Corn, Lettuce and Pommes Maxim
"Tarte Tatin" Caramel Ice Cream and Aged Sherry Liqueur
my favorite watch of the evening...the Santos Dumont XL with Stone Mosaic Horse motif from the Cartier d'Art collection.... I was the only guy who voted for this, seems like everyone were mesmerized by the more technically complicated watches.

Great minds think alike!
I also felt the same when I tried it on during the cocktail at Ion...but alas the pricing seems way to high for the pieces of tiles that are set on the dial. Still prefer the Santos Dumont Skeleton. :)
you should get "relief" soon!!! me too!!
Cartier, in my eyes, have a the best balance between technical innovation and artistic craftsmanship....very few brands can excel in both. that with a jewelry and accessories business to boot!! best, Horo
if anything...I am known for my squeezing skills
sometimes lack of it...:)- best, Horo
I don't like the horse, BUT I respec the craft
It seems trivial but the mosaic is a lot of work to finish, just like on the Turtle mosaic: http://cartier.watchprosite.com/show-forumpost/fi-886/pi-4933333/ti-746893/s-0/ . - SJX
Thanks for documenting the food
That was certainly one of the highlights of the evening. - SJX
i was going to say your presentation was the highlight....:)
but if you insist its the food..... best, Horo
I wrote "one of the highlights"....
Clearly there were other matters as, if not more, important, as you kindly point out, ;-) - SJX

thx for the coverage SJX! noticed that some used the loupe wrongly? the food must have been tasty :D
