Bonjour les filles.
Last night I saw a report (unless I am mistaken on RAI 2) which talked about the fair Haute Horlogerie in Geneva. I had no idea what it was, so I raised my head from the book I was reading and I started to listen.
From January 17 to 21 watch the best in the world found itself in Geneva to participate in this event, which has reached its 21st edition, which displays the most remarkable specimens with only 19 carefully selected brands chosen by the organization the SIHH.
experts and enthusiasts around the world visit the 30,000 square feet dell'Palexpo Palace in Geneva and admire the many innovations created by master watchmakers and excellence in the industry both technically and in terms of aesthetics.
I leave you with some pictures.
This historical pattern is distinguished by Arabic numerals engraved on the guilloche dial. With their bright presence, enhance a clock face by more discreet and give it its own personality. The bracelet, which merges with the center of the case, it does seem like a watch-jewel. It is this highly feminine beauty has inspired the design line.

I found my love in Portofino "is the title of a song that was popular in 1950. It was time when the Hollywood greats like Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor and Humphrey Bogart discovered the idyllic fishing village on the Ligurian coast, and with it, the taste for the lifestyle of easy-going Mediterranean. Take a seat in one of the bars in square near the harbor, sip coffee and watch the boats arrive. For the paparazzi narrow houses around the picturesque natural harbor is an ideal scenario for stars and celebrities. In 1960 the country was swarming with celebrities and Italian cinema enjoyed its most glorious era. Its appeal was underscored by the presence of actresses like Sophia Loren, Gina Lollobrigida and Claudia Cardinale. Even today, the Italian and international jet-setters meet at Portofino for a taste of the sweet life Mediterranean. The Portofino watch reflects this attitude towards life. For more than a quarter of a century, was the unassuming star of the IWC collection, the expression of sobriety and good taste.

Cartier loves to play with and I do not see, with the front and back, with the up and down: a women's game because of appearance, tricks and diversions always managed to perfection. The Panthère secrète de Cartier watch is the latest of this game has become tradition for Cartier.
I guess prices are quite prohibitive, but the bottom: "Time is money."
