MY WEEKEND WITH: The Cartier Hypnose – by The Tia Fox

the-tia-fox-for-cartier-and-tt-103-slider All this week, we’ve been sharing our collaboration with style influencer Melanie Liu, aka The Tia Fox, to showcase Cartier’s Hypnose collection. Today, she puts on her reviewer hat (which would be painfully chic and limited edition, were it not metaphorical), to let us know exactly what she thought of the three models she tested out. Early this week she told us about the story behind the photoshoot, so make sure to watch it unfold in the full gallery below. My first impression of the three watches was… that they were stunning at first sight, which was a lovely surprise. The whole line is very beautiful and feminine. What stood out most was… the oval shape. It’s an unusual shape for a watch, and it adds character. I also think it’s very flattering. That slender, elongated shape is partly what makes it so elegant. One detail I noticed was… the blue hands – which I know all Cartier watches have. I think that attention to detail is what makes Cartier watches so desirable. So much work and craftsmanship goes into every piece. The most versatile of the collection was… the smallest size, with the diamonds around the dial. This one was much more subtle and you could definitely wear it on…

ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 22 – Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Calendar

How has your Christmas present wrapping been going? Maybe take some tips from Jaeger-LeCoultre. The Reverso Tribute Calendar fits contemporary and classic into a very neat package. The pink gold case measuring 29.9 mm wide by 49.4mm tall is neither too petite nor too large for most, and it’s quite impressive how many complications JLC can fit in without the watch looking overly cluttered. The main dial, with a silver grained opaline finish shows a complete calendar with apertures for the day and month, and the date indicator around a stunning hammered moonphase. The reverse dial is treated in a contrasting grey Clous de Paris, showing a second timezone and a day/night indicator. Who should you buy this for: The most refined and sophisticated person you know who deserves a watch of this calibre.
