As a extremely high-end marquee watch for women, The French jeweler will soon officially present its new Cartier Tourbillon and Crocodile Calibre 9458 MC ladies watch. I didn’t know that Cartier had a thing for reptiles; I thought it was just big cats. Times change I guess. Not a ton of details on the watch yet. I don’t know how large the case is, or what material it is in. Though I am guessing a case size of at least 40mm in width, and done in 18k white gold. It is always a great pleasure to see a jewelry watch that also has a serious complication on board. The pleasure is even greater because the Calibre 9458 MC manual-wind movement that animates the watch is made totally in-house and represents another step for Cartier towards becoming a real Manufacture. Cartier plans to produce and sell only 50 numbered units of this beautiful watch.
Well, being a subsidiary of the well-known Richemont Group that owns such legendary Swiss brands as Vacheron Constantin, Jaeger-LeCoultre, IWC, and the German A. Lange & Söhne, it was only a matter of time before the necessary know-how and technical expertise would be transferred to the French jeweler.
Measuring 39 mm in diameter and 5.6 mm thick, the movement is by no means small. However, it must feel totally home inside a 44.5 mm case made of rhodium-plated 18-carat white gold. The case was made so large in order to provide adequate living quarters for a generously-sized crocodile. Also crafted of white gold, the beast looks suspiciously akin to the reptile that swallowed Captain Hook’s right hand and also demonstrated good appetite towards mechanical clocks. As you can see, the emerald-stud crocodile feels itself quite comfortably lying on the black mother of pearl dial among enameled water lilies.
The only source of annoyance for it may be the flying tourbillon, which is suspended above the dial and also serves as a small second indicator using a C-shaped carriage as a pointer. Well, at least the croco can always eat the rotating thing if it gets really irritated.

If you are among the fashion addicts, you won’t miss any steet snaps of those celebrities and superstars, from which you can get some new ideas of dressing yourself fabulously or on the other hand, you can learn what not the wear sometimes.
Often we chase after the the branded bags the stars are carrying. When we come to bags, it is quite a difficult job for us to count how many times we’ve seen celebs carrying Chanel bags in pictures of fashion magazines.
Not everyone bothers to deck herself in the vintage fashion of Kristin Callavari at Malandrino party, yet everyone will consider it a good thing to carry a black beaded strapped Chanel 2.55 flap bag to match assorted modern chic cocktail dresses. This is the subject of Chanel 2.55. When you can’t come up with a nice designer handbag that won’t cause you fashion trouble for ever, you can just go and pick the black Chanel 2.55 flap purse. Don’t you believe it’s the golden rule in fashion realm? Of course I’m not saying that Victoria Silvstedt’s satin cocktail dress looks too bad to match her black Chanel 2.55. Her ensemble is fine yet uninspiring.
In thousands of red-carpet cases we can’t be more familiar with the universally applied black Chanel 2.55 flap bag. To celebs or supermodels whose biggest advantages are curve and figure, they are inclined to sport firey red banquet frock and tote a glittering beaded strapped black Chanel quilted flap purse. This way is at least unmistakable, sometimes it even greets me with drop-dead gorgeous red-carpet pictures. For instance, Lauren Pemington Platt’s ensemble at Chanel Tribecca Film Festival Dinner is the best statement.
However, people can be simply interested in this pairing way before they witness how vintage and refreshing Kristin Callavari’s collared lace shirt and high-waisted Parisienne toned trousers can get and how demure Victoria Beckham’s white collared monochrome checker dress and semiring-shaped handled Chanel quilted flap bag are.
