Cartier Panthère Ring



Introduced in 1914, the motif, was inspired by Louis Cartier’s fellow jeweler Jeanne Toussaint, who was nicknamed the Panther. Style icons as Chloë Sevigny and Rachel Zoe claimed this to be her favorite piece. Since then most probably, this Panther would have appeared in many forms as Brooch, Ring, pedant, Fountain Pens, Cuff Links...etc

This is a baby Panther I saw in HKIA departure hall a few days ago at Cartier Boutique.

Younger look of Rolex Day Date Purple-Blue Dial with Diamond

After I custom ordered a Purple-Blue Croco strap, this Rolex Day Date does not look so mature and sophisticated as it used to be, in fact this Rolex can be worne by man of age below 35 and Woman of age 25. Believe me, three out of 4 men and 4 out of four women has the same criticism as mine! HK Snob

Vintage Patek Philippe 38mm chronograph with moonphase

 
This is a watch being extensively used for more than 20 years, watch of a Dutch friend of mine.

Of course from "Plating" of the gold, we know that this is not authentic Patek Pilippe Watch. As genuine Patek Philippe does not have "Gold Plated Watch"!

We do not encourge to buy this kind of watch, but in fact the quality of the Calibre is good at least lasting for 20 years.

However the time keeping is bad and the plating is gone, looks awful, there is nothing Patek at all
