Cartier: Watches & Wonders 2013 Hot Post
MTF
Friends,
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
This was an impossible event......
I like it when a dream becomes reality!
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........

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!

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 ...

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

On one hand, they are pushing the frontiers of mechanical engineering and on the other hand, they are reviving forgotten decorative arts like plique-à-jour enamelling, grisaille enamelling, straw marquetry, granulation and cameo.
