Cartier Captive WatchThe New Cartier Captivewatch model was presented during the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) 2010.

The model is stunning with the 35 mm to 55 mm (depending on the model size) 18-k white gold dial, covered with rhodium. The smaller version is made with just one blued steel hand (for the hours – you can tell the time within 10 minute precision), while the larger version has two hands.

And as usual, the dial has no lack of diamonds. They are on the Cartier Captive watch bezel and on the dial’s perimeter as well. Moreover, the “numbers” on the dial are made of 3 karat diamonds.

Case aperture serves as a bracelet’s bracing. This affect brings some pocket watch notes to the Cartier Captive design. The light-grey canvas material bracelet is elegant enough the wear it with the 18-k white gold snap.

Sapphire glass will prevent Cartier Captive from mechanic damage. And 30 meter water resistance is a good reason for a pleasant sail sing. Inside the watch you’ll find the quartz movement.

The New Cartier model is expensive enough.. But despite of this I consider Cartier Captive the best way not only for “captivating her,” but also for “keeping her captive.”

Pre-Baselworld 2010 Ulysse Nardin El Toro GMT Perpetual Watch In the years following its 1983 resurrection, Swiss watchmaking house Ulysse Nardin has been responsible for many fascinating horological innovations. One of its most respected is a family of a perpetual calendar watches whose wheel-based mechanisms allow simple forward or backwards adjustments of the complex calendar functions through the crown–a user-friendly contrast from traditional perpetual calendars which depend upon a system of assigned corrector buttons, and may only be adjusted in the forwards manner. Clearly, this intelligent system also permits these Ulysse Nardin timepieces a degree of safety for setting errors not possible with conventional perpetual calendar designs. In 2010, the historic brand from Le Locle, Switzerland continues its record of accomplishment in this area with the El Toro–a strikingly modern variation of the acclaimed GMT± Perpetual. Presented in 18-karat red gold or platinum, the Ulysse Nardin El Toro watch stands out through the selective use of ceramic components. This high-tech, nearly scratchproof zirconium oxide material is used to craft both the 24-hour bezel and the twin case pushers dedicated to setting the independent 12-hour hand. The precise, elegant craftsmanship of the 43mm case and the immaculate gloss of the ceramic bezel compliment a dial which is among the most intricate and beautiful in the luxury watch industry. A Cotes de Geneve patterned background serves up a feast of detail centered around a T-shaped structure and adjacent large date indicator, both of which are secured down with blued screws. The former is cleverly situated in such a way as to reveal the discs for the year, and the disc for months. Legibility of these logically arranged displays is further enhanced by large skeletonized hour and minute hands, which despite the minimalistic construction, impress with bold size and exceptionally brilliant luminous tips. As with other Ulysse Nardin GMT± Perpetual watches, the El Toro displays a distinct arrow-tipped central hand that coordinates with the bezel markings to present a second time zone in a 24-hour format. A large sapphire crystal exhibition window centers the caseback with its six securing screws and inscriptions of brand, limited edition series, and the 100-meter water resistance rating. This portal reveals the remarkable UN-32 caliber whose visual charms include bridges with blued screws and circular Cotes de Geneve decoration, as well as a truly impressive central rotor fashioned from matte-finished 18K white gold with the Ulysse Nardin anchor symbol in black enamel. Each of these exclusive self-winding movements is sent to an independent office of the Swiss Official Chronometer Control (COSC), where 15 days of tests in various positions and temperatures verify precision performance set forth under exacting parameters. With mainspring fully charged, the UN-32 delivers a power reserve of 45 hours. Ulysse Nardin will produce 500 individually numbered examples of the El Toro GMT± Perpetual watch. Each Ulysse Nardin El Toro is completed by a gracefully designed rubber strap with two vertically pronounced motifs, and the Ulysse Nardin brand symbol; naturally, the strap can be trimmed to obtain an exact fit to the wearer’s wrist. Closure is provided by an elegant push-button folding clasp manufactured from a combination of ceramic and metal.

A luxury watch designed as a tribute to one of the world’s best boxers is to go back on sale.

Victorinox Swiss Army – the luxury watch manufacturer – is re-releasing a timepiece in honour of Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao.

The brand’s Maverick II Chrono Pacman Limited Edition watch is due to hit the shelves again after its first stint ended in it quickly selling out.

An image of Pacquiao – a World Champion at seven different weight categories – adorns the back of the dial, while the rear of the case features a depiction of the fighter in a strike pose.

The Pacman timepiece is “crafted to the highest specifications”, according to Victorinox Swiss Army, with a Swiss-made quartz analogue movement powering the model.

“Each of these watches is imbued with the quality and endurance of the Swiss Army brand and the imprimatur of Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao”, Victorinox states.

Victorinox Swiss Army is currently sponsoring a Swiss family who are undertaking a seven-year trip around the world to spread the message of climate change.

Salvatore Ferragamo Soft Cesar Clutch, Handbag of the Day

6The Salvatore Ferragamo Soft Cesar Clutch is a quirky and attractive steel-colored masterpiece.

After a long 2009 of safe choices by most well-known designers, this unusual style from an established house is a welcome surprise. The soft natural-grain calfskin is gently tucked at the corners by striking silver rings. The flap top is accented with Ferragamo’s signature Gancini belt and two decorative studs, which balance the subtle swoop of the shape. The steely gray color is the only “safe” thing about this fashion  bag – but with the bull-ring-esque details and demure 6″H x 11″W x 3″D size, the color only ensures versatility.

This clutch is perfect for day or night, and the rings and belt are sure to be noticed. We’d love to see this sexing up a pastel spring ensemble.

Gerald Genta and Daniel Roth To Merge Into Bvlgari Watch Collection

Gerald Genta and Daniel Roth To Merge Into Bvlgari Watch Collection
In an interesting bit of news, the announcement has been made that the prestigious high luxury watch collections of Gerald Genta and Daniel Roth will be fully integrated into the Bvlgari brand. These two haute horlogerie houses have been under the Bvlgari Group umbrella since 2000, and represent the upper end of the watchmaking sector, in terms of both finishing quality and mechanical complication. The decision was announced on January 15, 2010 by Francesco Trapani, CEO of the Bvlgari Group.

A transcription of Mr. Trapani’s exact words follows here:

“Dear Friends, Collectors and esteemed Watch Connoisseurs:
Today, I would like to share with you some important news as Bvlgari is entering a new era which is significantly impacting the future of the Brand. Ten years ago, I expressed in an interview the desire to develop our know-how in the watch complication craftsmanship sector. Subsequently Bvlgari built, in different stages, a network of manufacturing facilities for the production of top-of-the-range cases, dials and watch bracelets. In parallel, we progressively expanded our knowledge of the mechanical base movement as well as our expertise in the field of the complicated movement.

Today I can safely say our mission is accomplished. This long process has now reached its final stage, after following a strategy which developed and integrated the mastery of watchmaking operations that began a decade ago.

Now it is time for a further step: to complement Bvlgari watchmaking with a strong presence in the high-end and grandes complications watch creations. Consequently I have decided to merge the cutting-edge skills of our Gerald Genta and Daniel Roth Manufacture in Le Sentier with the prestigious image of Bvlgari, a strong name in the world of luxury. While preserving their technical and aesthetic qualities, the Daniel Roth and the Gerald Genta timepieces will from now be fully integrated into the collection of the Bvlgari brand.

This alliance is sealed on the new watch creations, where the Bvlgari brand  watch is featured along with the Gerald Genta and Daniel Roth logos. This union is the fruit of a rational and organic evolution. This integration into the overall dynamics of our Brand represents a great achievement. United, our respective areas of expertise will from now on allow Bvlgari to complete its strategic process.

The merger of these skills offers Bvlgari new perspectives and dimensions. It allows us to advance in the sector of watch excellence through exclusive collections at a very high level. The merger will also ensure that the know-how of the Manufacture Daniel Roth and Gerald Genta will be permanently preserved in a definitive manner also by strictly respecting its DNA and its tradition.

Every union of two individualities embodies a positive evolution. As in all unions, the meeting of individual values sets off a new concept. Our union combines 125 years of history dedicated to the passion for beauty and contemporary design with the sum of exceptional technical human skills and finest quality. I am therefore, today, extremely pleased to invite you all to discover our newest creations by visiting us at the Salon Mondial de l’Horlogerie in Basel on March 18th, 2010.”

A brief video clip shows Mr. Trapani speaking, along with a partial image of a Gerald Genta timepiece showing the famous Genta combination of jumping hours and retrograde displays. An examination of the dial reveals the dual signatures of Bvlgari and Gerald Genta at 12 and 6 o’clock, respectively. While the collection will soon make its official debut, at which time speculation concerning the particulars of the collection will cease, it would be reasonable to assume that Bvlgari watches bearing the Daniel Roth signature will be similarly faithful to the distinctive design signatures which have defined that brand in the eyes of connoisseurs.
