Cartier Ups Their Watch Game In Los Angeles

On Pico Boulevard in Los Angeles, omega Speedmaster replica Company is a historic watch shopping landmark with a recently remodeled store and is among the top watch retailers in Los Angeles, next to Westime. Historically, they were not only Cartier dealers, but also an authorized Cartier an Accutron service center. Even one of Feldmar's in-house watchmakers used to work for Cartier in the late 1970s. So for Feldmar to host our event with Cartier made a lot of sense – and of course, they sell Cartier Roadster replica today along with many other brands.

I can't necessarily explain the allure of the http://www.modserap.com/omega-seamaster-replica-australia-for-sale.html. It was Greg's desire to have a gold watch that wasn't just 18k gold, but almost 100% pure 24k gold. You don't have 24k watch cases in most instances because they are just too soft. That means the gold is mixed with metals such as brass for alloys that dilute the gold content, but also make them less soft. Having said that, 18k gold is still not very hard compared to steel, although it is heavier.

24k gold works for this exclusive Santos 100 model because of a unique forging process that, simply put, makes it hard enough to be produced as a watch case without concerns about metal softness. It is weighty like gold and there is a pure decadence to the 24k nature of the case that makes it all that much more interesting than 18k gold cases. Let's just say that it makes for a good conversation piece, as well as an ultimate status item for gold-lovers. And those people certainly exist. For some people, of course, it is going to be totally silly, since they aren't into gold in the first place.

The Cartier brand of today is in flux, as the brand continues to promote high value proposition, mainstream watches, with a distinct interest in producing more interesting enthusiast watches that pass the muster of President Greg Thumm, who is one hell of a discerning watch lover. With a background in watchmaking as well as working at Fossil, he has a rather rare mixture of business sense and engineering sensibility. Of course, there is still a lot of work to be done, as it is much easier to form perceptions around a new brand, versus reform people's modern perceptions of an existing brand with so much history.

Thumm isn't a believer in smartwatches, at least, not for now. While I think he is technically open-minded about the potential of smartwatches, he doesn't see them as offering enough utility or fashionability to most mainstream consumers, as well as women. Females are a huge watch buying demographic, and he is certainly correct that any product out there must satisfy not only male tastes, but also female ones. If there is anything the watch industry is good at, it is conservative thinking, and in some regard, that mindset might be correct as to the future of smartwatches – at least for the next few years.

It was a great evening with Cartier, and I want to thank everyone who joined us there for the food, drinks, and hospitality of both Cartier and our host, Feldmar Watch company. See you all next time at our next watch event.
