My opinion has changed as the data has changed...

I've dispatched my AI Girl Fridays to watch the various resellers. And frankly, I'm playing the games against them and signaling low-bids and no-bid "hearts" on various reseller forums. Many of the accounts are new hype-chasers that are going to be watchi

I had a big crash back in 2018.

2015 F20 BMW 120d, hit a tree full-on at +/- 60/80 kph (net). Moments before impact I was 100% sure this was the end, I couldn't believe my eyes after the crash I still had my legs and limbs attached to my body. I even jumped out of the car ... adrenaline

I couldn't agree more, so far as deisign is concerned.

As the happy owner of a different limited edition Arabic numeral Santos-Dumont and as a retired design professional, I admire Cartier's longstanding excellence (even supremacy?) when it comes to watch design, and the Santos models in all their forms exemp

For those who appreciate true value

You could also spend several hundred thousand... apparently even close to two million ... on a Cartier Crash, chasing an absurdly overhyped market. And what do you end up with? A rather mediocre movement housed in a distorted case. Any skilled goldsmith c

Was more a general comment on the advances in automotive safety 😊

Crash protection has improved in leaps and bounds and so has the overall handling safety. I do not think the Opel was close to being a widowmaker back in the day but light cars, heavy right feet and more enthusiasm than skill led to many a one in the ditc

One approach to safety is mass but I T-boned a mid 60s Lincoln Continental when it suddenly turned left in front of my '72 TE-27 Corolla. It's owners manual mentioned how

Toyota considered crash safety when designing it. My car suffered considerable damage. A stiff neck and some minor bruises for me. Certainly an element of luck involved. My Corolla coupe was repairable and I enjoyed it for another 80,000 miles. It was sim

Reality completely gone, the insane overhyped Cartier auction market.

Does anyone have an explanation for the insanely high prices most Cartier pieces achieved at yesterday’s Sotheby’sauction? In my opinion, Cartier produces fairly average work …and I don’t mean that negatively. I own a Santos myself, but it’s nothing more

Thanks 👍

I kind of misspoke with the Crash reference. I think it is the most popular/well known asymmetric watch out there and I think new asymmetric models will be compared to it whether it was intended or not. Making the case around the contours of the case make

I have a Newbie question about Cartier WGSA0019

I know absolutely nothing about Cartier watches, but as a retirement gift to myself, I am considering getting in Rose gold the WGSA0019 I know it is not a collectable watch, not sure I could find a Crash, Bamboo, Platinum Cintree etc or any 1960-1970 era

Cartier Coussin Bamboo: yes or no?

Among the “ quirky design timepieces ”, the Cartier Coussin Bamboo ref. 78102 isn't often seen. Most examples are in yellow gold , but there are a few very rare examples in white gold . According to Remi Guillemin in his Lot Essay for Christie's : “The mo
