The new “IT” place for luxury brands is definitely India.  From TAG Heuer to Hermes, India has become the new place to push new products, open boutiques, and create new cult followings.  Now Cartier has joined the India bandwagon.  Well, we shouldn’t say just joined…. they are increasing their presence.

We stirred up a huge pot of emotions when back in January we reported on millionaire Robbie Raggio who was robbed of his Cartier luxury watch.  Most readers felt that his complaints were almost to the point of bragging and the photo of him washing the rims of his luxury car put some people over the edge.

Well, here’s a little good news from another rich guy, Chris Balakas, who also wanted his watch back, but didn’t put up as much as a show as Robbie Raggio.  The business man from Toronto was reunited with his $60,000 diamond laced Cartier luxury watch that was among three costly timepieces stolen from the Rosedale mansion last January.

This Cartier luxury wristwatch was found on March 6 by a 51 Division officer who pulled over a young person for a seatbelt infraction.  According to Chris Balakas:

” I never thought I would see that watch again. The odds were 10 million to one that I would see that watch again. It was a fluke that it was found in the first place.”

According to Toronto Sun:

Balakas, who owns three Bull and Finch pubs in Calgary, nearly broke down last Wednesday when he was reunited with the timepiece at 51 Division. He had since gone out and ordered an identical Cartier to take its place.

“The watch was given to me by a special someone and it means a lot to me,” he said. “I thought of the loss as the price of doing business in Toronto.”

He said three watches and some jewelry, worth about $120,000, were stolen from the Rosedale home of a friend while he was here on a business trip in January.

“I felt emotionally angry and frustrated after the watches were stolen,” Balakas said. “I thought what are the odds of them ever being found.”

He said he feels better about the city now and has earned tremendous respect for Toronto Police.

“The officers were very diligent and professional,” Balakas said. “I have nothing but respect and good words to say about Toronto police.”

Det.-Sgt. Howie Page said the Cartier was seen hanging from a suspect’s pants when he was stopped by Const. Rabie Kazzouh two weeks ago.

“The suspect took off and was chased over fences and backyards,” Page said. “The watch was tossed by the suspect as he fled.”

Kazzouh, and other officers, managed to trace the watch to the Rosedale theft, he said.

“His faith in our city has been restored a little,” Page said. “It took a lot of legwork but we were able to return the property to the visiting businessman.”

A 17-year-old young offender, of Toronto, has been charged with possession of property over $5,000 obtained by crime.

So… a few tears were shed, the Cartier luxury watch makes it back home, and everyone is happy.

It seems Michelle Obama has a knack for surprising the fashion industry by wearing items and designs unbeknownst to their designers.  From J.Crew to Jason Wu and now Cartier luxury watches.
Mrs. Obama wore a Cartier Tank watch for her first official portrait and no one was more surprised than Cartier.  According to Frederic de Narp, CEO of Cartier North America Mrs. Obama wearing the watch was a “most positive surprise” and he also stated that “maybe it was a gift from her husband.”

We love the way Mrs. Obama surprises everyone.  Narp has no idea were she bought the watch or how long she may have had it which proves Mrs. Obama loves style and isn’t a walking advertisement… she wears what she likes and her choice of watch is perfect.  The Cartier Tank luxury watch chosen by Mrs. Obama is simple and sophisticated… here’s a great discount luxury Cartier watch similar to Mrs. Obama from The Watchery:

Like Mrs. Obama’s watch this Cartier Tank watch is simple with no embellishments it has an 18K white gold case, bracelet and strap.  It has a sapphire cabochon crown, silver dial, blue hand indicators, black roman numerals, scratch resistant sapphire crystal, and 100 meters of water resistance.

Today’s Cartier Watch pick is a Cartier Santos 100 Ladies Watch with automatic stainless steel pink dial and a white leather strap.  Spring is right around the corner and it’s time to lighten up our wardrobes and add some bright accessories and this discount luxury watch from The Watchery is the perfect addition to any ladies wardrobe.

The Cartier Santos was introduced in 1904 and was the first Cartier wristwatch. Recently the company sued QVC for infringing on this watches copyright and we don’t blame them. With history and style all incorporated into one Cartier watch, it’s definitely the envy of other watchmakers.

This particular Cartier Santos Ladies watch has a octagonal crown with a pink dial, luminous hand indicators and hour markers, Roman numeral hour indicators, automatic movement, deployment clasp, and 100 feet of water resistant.

Exactly what’s needed for Spring 2009…

Cartier does not like it when other companies copy their designs, especially after working so hard to have a distinctive style for so many years.  As a result, they are not shy to sue anyone who infringes on their copyrights, especially their Cartier luxury watch designs.  The most recent situation is  between Cartier and QVC Inc.

Cartier is suing QVC for infringing on a number of their designs including the popular Cartier Santos watches and the Cartier Pasha Grille trade dresses.  Cartier filed the complaint on February 13th.  The interesting part is that a number of the watches are form Joan Rivers best selling jewelry line.  It should be very interesting to hear her response!

This isn’t just a basic lawsuit asking QVC to cease selling those brands.  Cartier wants a permanent injunction, they want all the watches that infringe on their copyrights destroyed and they want all profits from any sales QVC had as well as any other damages… talk about intense!

2009 Award Season is almost to an end and once again, for the 2009 Oscars, we give Anne Hathaway the Cartier Jewelry Award. Anne was up for Best Actress for her performance in “Rachel Getting Married”.

Although we think her best moment for the Oscars should have been her dress and her millions of dollars of Cartier Jewelry on the red carpet, Anne’s says her best moment actually involved Hugh Jackman.  “”I’d have to say being in Hugh Jackman’s arms and him carrying me on stage!,” said Anne.

But back to the fashion, the 26 year old glamazon sported a champagne strapless Armani Prive gown with Swarovski crystals and Casadei pumps in silver.  However, the Cartier jewelry is what possible made her one of the best dressed stars of the night.

When Anne Hathaway turned around she had an onyx and black crystal dragon broach pinned to the back of her gown and she accessorized her entire look with more than $1 million dollars of Cartier jewelry…absolutely stunning!  That’s why we love Cartier, its not just about the Cartier luxury watches or the Cartier jewelry, it’s about the starts, the glamour, the art, and the history.
