Cartier Clé De Cartier Mysterious Hour Leather Strap Hollow Out Replica Watches For Sale

When And Where?

A few weeks ago, at Watches & Wonders 2015 in Hong Kong, we went hands-on with the Cartier Clé de Cartier Mysterious Hour watch – Cartier’s way of bringing the Clé to its next, probably ultimate level, both in terms of design, as well as sheer mechanical complexity.

It happens with cars all the time. A nice new mid-range model comes out (think of the ever-latest Audi A4, BMW 3-series, etc.) – and it looks great! But then, the “RS” beefed up sports version debuts, and everything looks sharper, better defined, and somehow more cohesive in its design… and you think, “could this be how they originally intended it?” The original Clé I found to be beautiful (in a clever, intelligent, not necessarily immediately-obvious way) when Cartier released it earlier this year as an all-new, relatively affordable line of watches in January at SIHH 2015. I was happy about the moderate size, the interesting and various ways that the case is curved – it just looked and wore right.

The Cartier Clé de Cartier Mysterious Hour limited edition replica watches take everything the Clé is, and turns it up to 11. While it may not have been blindingly obvious at first, what made the Clé really stand out was its balanced, beautifully proportioned look – and the Cartier Clé de Cartier Mysterious Hour further evolves on that by playing with the rule of thirds and other basic (but difficult-to-master) rules of design and geometrics. Long, sloping curves are met with two perfect circles – the larger and the smaller dials – and before it appears to all be melting off your wrist, Cartier’s trademark bold Roman numerals and the rectangular cabochon in the crown add some strength to the overall appearance.

As we always do, we tried to capture the essence of the design with our photography – there really was not an angle from which the Cartier Clé appeared to lack cleverly chosen proportions and that overall, positively overwhelming aesthetic.

Hands On

As its name implies, the Cartier Clé de Cartier Mysterious Hour fake watches features Cartier’s “mysterious hours” indication which may have been around for a long time, but somehow, here, just utterly fails to show its age. The funny thing is that when compared to the – rather numerous – other pieces from the brand which comprised this funky time indication, this may be the first piece where it feels and looks as though it was an integral component of the design, and not a gimmick that stands above every other part.

If this is the first time you are seeing this complication – let us keep it simple and call it as such – you may be wondering how the Cartier mysterious hours works. The solution, once you are told, seems blatantly straight-forward: the watch has its hands fitted to two separate, transparent sapphire discs which have teethed edges; the movement drives these discs as it would normally move the hands – and voilà, a floating effect is achieved.

Cartier Crash Series Amazing Design Limited Edition Replica Watches For Sale

The origin of Cartier’s most bizarre watch ever dates back to 1967. There are a couple of frightening, unconfirmed stories about the way the watch came to life, both of which took place in London. One is about a lady who brought her Baignoire watch in for repair, since it had been involved in a traffic accident where it got badly damaged. Another story is about a Cartier London manager, who was involved in a car accident that resulted in a fire. His watch – a large, curved Maxi Oval – melted from the heat exposure. The melted timepiece inspired Jean-Jacques Cartier, then head of Cartier London, to create a watch that was inevitably christened  the “Crash”.

Which of these stories, if either, is the correct one, we don’t know, but the latter sounds the more plausible, since the Maxi Oval, with its sharp case top – similar to the Crash – could easily be melted to the distorted shape of the Cartier replica Crash watches. It is sometimes believed that the design of the watch was inspired by a painting of Salvador Dalí’s, but there is absolutely no evidence of that at all. On the contrary, it was Piaget that started work on a project with Salvador Dalí in 1967 that lasted almost till 1970.

Cartier London launched the timepiece as a men’s watch, in yellow-gold and white-gold (just three in white-gold, though) cases that measured 43mm by 23mm, and produced the watch in very limited numbers. Before Cartier Paris took over the production of the Crash (after the manufacturing of watches became centralised), two designers of Cartier London left the company and started their own brand, Churchill Watches.

The company was not that successful and did not survive long either. But their first release was interesting – Churchill Crash  Cartier fake watches. Released in a 52mm-long white- or yellow-gold case and powered by an ETA calibre, the watch was sold in the UK and USA. While the watch is often the subject of discussion, it was never sought after by collectors, nor did it ever fetch a decent price at auctions. It is still the Cartier London Crash watch that sets auctions  on fire, when, once in several years, a piece – preferably in white-gold with the magical word “London” on the dial – emerges and  is auctioned off.

Panthere de Cartier Limited Edition Gold Case Replica Watches For Sale

A-listers from all walks of the entertainment industry flocked to Los Angeles to join Cartier in the relaunch of its coveted Panthere de Cartier replica watches collection.

Last Friday, Milk Studios, a spacious photography venue in the heart of Hollywood, turned into the outsized insides of a jewelry box that coddled Cartier’s star-studded fete. The glamorous event was hosted by Sofia Coppola, Cartier International CEO Cyrille Vigneron and Cartier North America President and CEO Mercedes Abramo.

Shunning Cinco de Mayo for the opulence of the unveil party were celebrities in the ranks of Sienna Miller, Dakota Johnson, Miranda Kerr, Lily Collins, Kristen Dunst, Dita von Teese, to name but a few. The high-profiled guests sipped champagne as a welcome and later enjoyed a raw bar and the culinary creations of The French Laundry chef Thomas Keller. Acclaimed performers Alicia Keys, Lion Babe and DJ Mark Ronson kept the spirits soaring with special gigs.

At the center of the attention, though, roared the Panthere de Cartier limited edition watches, which the almost two-century old maison has chosen to revive this year. Fierce and stealthy, the panther has been a beloved Cartier symbol since the remote 1914. That year saw the release of the first “panther” piece – a bracelet watch with onyx and diamonds. It was not until 1983, however, that the Panthere de Cartier collection premiered. The panther line grew until the early 2000s, when the brand discontinued it.

Waking back to life, the Panthere de Cartier comes in two sizes – 22mm and 27mm – and nine iterations – from affordable plain steel models to pieces of white gold, diamonds and enamel. Linked to brick-lay bracelets with concealed folding clasps, all watches are fueled by a quartz movement. The timepieces bring back the elegance, power and confidence that have come to define the Cartier women’s fake watches for years.
