The New Nomos Autobahn Directors Cut With Steel Bracelet
Imagine yourself travelling through Germany, in your beloved sports car, and heading to an event you've been looking forward to for months, years even. The past two years travelling has been very challenging, sometimes downright impossible, and you are glad the world is opening up again. You find yourself in one of the sections of the German Autobahn, a section without a speed limit if the circumstances allow it. And yes, the weather is clear, you look down on your Nomos Autobahn Director's Cut, and see you have time for some fun. So, with the road opening up, you plant your foot down and head for the horizon, fast.It is a scene something like this I imagine to have crossed the mind of designer Werner Aisslinger penning the first sketches for the Autobahn collection for Nomos. Free of worries, not a care in the world at that very moment, with miles of open roads ahead (Free of Baustelle hopefully). Looking at the Autobahn, you immediately get the connection to cars, racing, highway's,
Introducing The Green and Red Lacquered Tank Louis Cartier
To say that Cartier has been prolific at Watches & Wonders 2023 would be an understatement. The brand is on fire, with so many new and attractive models, covering all collections, including a highly attractive Cartier Prive collection resurrecting the Tank Normale, or even a stunning grande complication pocket watch… But now, it’ll be about the most classic of the watches from the Tank collection, the Tank Louis Cartier. And it comes back this year in a duo of yellow gold, hand-wound models with Red and Green Lacquered Dials.?While the Cartier Tank dates back to 1917, with the inaugural model later renamed Tank Normale, the most emblematic version could well be the second iteration of this watch. Named Tank Louis Cartier, it has to be seen as a refined take on the original rectangular concept, with the emblematic design reworked to create a more delicate watch, its unique aesthetic being due to its vertical thin brancards and smooth angles.

The Cartier Pebble-Shaped "Baseball" Watch 2022 Re-edition
Cartier is often considered the master of shaped watches. Squared, oval, bell-shaped, asymetrical, cushion-shaped, barrel-shaped and many more… It’s an endless story, with the only limit being the capacity to be worn on the wrist. Some of the most emblematic and original designs of Cartier didn’t come from Paris’ HQ but from its London-based branch. The wildest ideas were brought to life, from the Crash in 1967 to the Maxi Oval in 1969 and the Double Strap in 1970. There is another design that we haven’t seen resurrected yet… until today, with the comeback of the so-called Baseball or the Cartier Pebble-Shaped Watch.?According to scholarship, this watch is the perfect example of Cartier’s creativity and adaptation to trends, reflecting the feeling of excitement in London at the beginning of the 1970s, following the swinging sixties. A great example of the spirit of creativity of the brand’s London-based branch is the so-called Pebble or B
