Geneva—For those who prioritize style over a watch’s mechanics, the revamped Cartier Baignoire is calling. Created in the early 1900s, “baignoire” is French for “bathtub,” an allusion to the watch’s oval dial and sumptuous rounded oval bezel. The 2023 quartz-powered version sees the bezel even larger, which is in line with the chunky gold metal … Read more
While the majority of watches we cover on bestbuycheap.ru are for men, we like to discuss quality women’s watches from time to time – the Chanel Premiere being one of them. Being mostly guys, we tend to write about what we ourselves would wear. We, nevertheless, have a lot of demand for more women’s content, and I … Read more
I think of Cartier’s Calibre de Cartier watch as the collection of watches from Cartier, other than the expensive pieces in the Fine Watchmaking family, as being exclusively for men. Born from the start with a masculine presence and size (42 mm), it has expanded in two directions: complicated with a chronograph, and “hardened” with the excellent … Read more

You’d … Read more
The Cartier Drive de Cartier watches are the men’s Cartier we’ve been waiting for; stylish and refined with a dash of sports luxe. SIHH 2016 was a restrained affair, most brands playing a game of wait-and-see with the global luxury watch market. One exception was Cartier Drive de Cartier watches .

The Cartier Crash de Cartier Watch is a strange, morbid, and fascinating watch. Even as brands bend over backwards to make ever more novel, avant-garde, and unexpected watches, Cartier’s twisted-looking Crash watch is still one of the most distinctive designs you will find. Its contorted shape and the story behind it make the Cartier Crash … Read more
Privé is the exclusive collection of resurrected Cartier watches from the brand’s extensive history. Hardcore Cartier fans will recall the mid-2000s Collection Privée Cartier Paris, while newcomers to the brand will probably remember the 2018 and 2019 Privé models, the Cintrée and the Tonneau. 2020 sees the arrival of the Cartier Privé Tank Asymétrique, probably the most … Read more
