A sneak peek at two of Cartier's watches to be launched at SIHH 2008
Here is a sneak peek at two of the novelties Cartier will unveil at SIHH 2008 in Geneva from 7 to 12 April. The Ballon Bleu was one of my favourite Cartier watches from 2007, and as I predicted in my SIHH 2007 report here , Cartier has introduced the Ballon Bleu on a leather strap which will look smashing.
