What We Like: The Balloon Bleu De Cartier Floral-Marquetry Parrot Watch by Cartier.
Why We Like It: Never mind the heavyweight name, it’s the unique watch-making technique that makes this ticker so special.
Cartier’s Pre-SIHH 2014 release of the Balloon Bleu De Cartier Floral-Marquetry Parrot watch is a limited edition work of art that doubles as a jeweled accessory courtesy its many diamonds along a burst of colour.
The 20 timepieces aim to capture the ephemeral beauty of flowers on a rhodium-plated 18kt white and pink gold case and dial.
As many as 124 round diamonds totalling 1.80 carats make up for all the bling a lady could possibly need; additions like the blue sapphire on the crown and the emerald eye of the parrot are signs of the attention to detail, the French brand is known for.
The watch is offset by a white semi-matt alligator skin strap, and even the double adjustable folding buckle has been given the rhodium treatment.
Reward yourself with this 42mm time flash for the holiday season; price on request.
