Cartier watches have exquisite design and unmatched elegance
Copyright 2006 Jason Bibb
The exquisite design and unmatched elegance of Cartier watches makes them a good choice for anyone looking for a fashionable and precise watch. The story of Cartier watches begins in 1847, when Louis-Fran?ois Cartier took over the jewelry workshop of Adolphe Picard. Gradually, the business developed and more members of the Cartier family became involved in the company. The excellent blend of usability and style has remained unchanged throughout the years, and the accuracy of the Cartier watches is among the highest in the world. Superior craftsmanship and a unique sense of style have dominated the evolution of this company, but tradition was also flawlessly combined with technological advancements.
Cartier revolutionized the watch industry by being the first to attempt the creation of the wristwatch. Their bold move was a huge success and the pocket watch saw a quick decline in favor of Cartier's wristwatch.
Characteristics of the Carier Company and their watches
The first wristwatch created by Cartier was available for sale starting from 1911, even though Cartier's designer had created it years before. The luxury and uniqueness of the Cartier company was also highlighted by the acquisition of the Hope diamond, which was later sold. However, Cartier did not stop with their wristwatch success, and in 1912 they created the first mystery clock.
The series of innovations continues with the first series of water resistant watches - the Tanks as they were called ? which appeared on the market during the First World War (1933). The Tank had a circular-grained crown set with a sapphire cabochon and the quartz movement and rectangular rail-track make the Tank, even today, one of the most precise and durable watches. Today, the Tank is a more elegant item, mainly because of the 18K yellow gold and 18K white gold casings and the alligator skin straps and pin buckles.

Used Rolex Watches: San Francisco Gem Expert Says Rising Gold Prices Will Affect Holiday Costs in Pre-owned Rolex Market
San Francisco, CA (ContentDesk) June 28, 2006 -- With gold topping out at more than $700 an ounce last month and forecasters predicting higher valuations ahead jewelers who trade in the pre-owned Rolex market may be forced to raise prices as much as 30 percent long before the Christmas buying season begins, says San Francisco gemologist Avi Dayan. Climbing interest rates, the weak U.S. dollar and the war in Iraq have made gold and other precious metals more valuable than theyve been in 25 years. Experienced Rolex collectors are keeping their eyes on the price of gold, he says. Some consumers believe its only new Rolex watches that are affected by soaring gold prices but thats not the case. The cost of merchandise in the pre-owned Rolex market is directly affected by activity in the new Rolex arena, says Dayan.Dayan says Rolex SA, the Swiss company that began manufacturing luxury wristwatches in 1905, vigilantly controls the market. "You'll never see Rolex flood the market,"...

Antiques - The Modern Day Treasure Hunt
In today's world, everything that's old can be described as antiques and generally speaking that's quite true. A product is considered to be an antique if it is over a hundred years old or is rare enough to have some value. In other words, these are old items that are in limited supply. An antique is something collectible. It may be a piece of antique furniture that you want to collect to enhance the look of a room, or a piece of antique pottery to decorate a corner cupboard, or some antique books, antique camera and photographs, antique jewelry, antique money, antique car, antique clocks, or antique watches that you want to hand down to your grandchildren but the items must be rare enough to be considered an antique.
The others are just secondhand goods junk. Most people have a common misconception about an antique: the older they look, the more antique they must be. Appearance has nothing to do with it, just because a piece looks like it came out of grandma's attic does not...

Buying a Watch? You Might Want to Read this First?
Do you have a collection of watches? Or do you at least own a watch? Is it real? Is it genuine? Or is it a replica? Having a watch and wearing it around our wrist makes us time conscious. And it is not a bad habit or bad connotation. In fact, I consider it as a positive character because it will lessen our tardiness when it comes to work, school, or meetings.
What things do you consider when buying a watch? Does it have to be big? Does it have to be small? Does it have to be Rolex? Or any watch will do as long as it tells you the correct time? Owning a factual watch would cost us a lot of money but buying a fabricated watch will not stay long on your ownership. So, what watch does an individual really need?
You need to consider many things.
Though it's just a watch, you might want to own something that is good, useful, and affordable. A material that is expensive is not always beneficial and not all low-priced things are useless. Sometimes,...
