It was the 'king of jewellers' and also 'the jeweller of kings'

I wonder if their watches are also worthy  of high mention.

I believe Cartier made the first deployment buckle (I stand corrected )

Any photos of both older and new versions are most welcome.

It's a small suitcase

a Bisten 50, but here it does look like a trunk, you're right. Geo

Any more pics Geo? Antique Louis Vuitton luggage has more charm than the modern ones. [nt]

Looks vintage

The largest (50cm) one is not a vintage, it's actually only 5 years old. It's the allowed size for on board luggage and for me large enough for a 6 day city trip. The smaller (40cm) Damier case was a special order and is very new. It will take about a year for the blond leather handle and label to turn darker, as the other one. They are great classic cases to travel with, but one has to bear in mind that they're quite heavy, since they're made out of wood. Geo
