Introduced just earlier this year, the Cartier Tank MC Chronograph is the first Tank chronograph with an in-house calibre, the recently developed 1904-CH MC movement. Larger and more imposing than earlier Tank models, the Tank MC Chronograph is the newest wristwatch to join Cartier's small range of entry-level men's chronograph watches.
Presented at SIHH 2014, the Rotonde de Cartier Tourbillon Chronograph is powered by an impressive movement from Renaud & Papi with an eight day power reserve.
Sleek and entirely executed in mirror finished titanium, the De Bethune Dream Watch 5 is extreme, yet elegant. The Dream Watch 5 is the most avant-garde case from De Bethune yet.

In the last decade, the retail prices of luxury watches has risen faster than inflation and incomes, they are getting more expensive quicker than most can afford. That is untenable in the long run.
