Cartier S.A., commonly known as "Cartier", is a French luxury jeweller and watch manufacturer. The corporation carries the name of the Cartier family of jewellers whose control ended in 1964 and who were known for numerous pieces including the "Bestiary" (best illustrated by the Panthère brooch of the 1940s created for Wallis Simpson), the diamond necklace created for Yadavindra Singh the Maharaja of Patiala and in 1904 the first practical wristwatch, the "Santos." Cartier SA is headquartered in Paris.
The company has a long and distinguished history of serving royalty, as well as stars and celebrities. One Prince of Wales hailed Cartier as "Joaillier des Rois, Roi des Joailliers" (Jeweller to Kings, King of Jewellers"). Cartier received an order for 27 tiaras for the coronation of the future King.

Luxury Breitling watches
Breitling watches are renowned throughout the world for their accuracy and style. They are used by pilots who rely on them for their unique aeronautics-specific characteristics, and are popular with the United States Air Force, the British Red Arrows, airline professionals and the general public. Their popularity has spawned a plethora of counterfeits and replicas, though, and many of these copies can be very close to their authentic counterparts. Find out how to differentiate a genuine Breitling from a copy with a few moderately easy inspections.
Breitling’s Airwolf and Skyracer chronograph timepieces are getting special edition makeovers. The Raven Special Editions feature black molded pushpieces and bezels which complement the technical nature of each of the watches.
Breitling Navitimer 125th Anniversary
For its 125th anniversary, Breitling has revived its legendary Navitimer. Launched in 1952, this timepiece became an iconic object. With its exclusive chronograph movement, certified by COSC to ¼ of a second, and centre 60-minute totalizer, this revival is embellished by the highly original Air Racer rigid bracelet with holes, a tribute to a modern design icon dating from the 1960’s. More than ever, Breitling has remained faithful to its history: to its passion for chronographs on the one hand and to its destiny, closely linked to aviation, on the other. It is not by chance that the “official supplier to world aviation” has chosen to celebrate this most emblematic of instruments for professionals in this anniversary year.
Limited Edition of 125 Pieces in Rose Gold and 2,009 in Stainless Steel
The case, in stainless steel or in 18kt rose gold, measures 43mm. It has a sapphire crystal and is water resistant to 30 meters. Dials are available in black, bronze or silver.
Movement is the automatic Breitling caliber 26 with 38 jewels and COSC-certification as a chronometer. It comes with the new Air Racer bracelet.
Breitling Super Avenger Blacksteel
“Real Men Wear Black” at least that’s what Breitling is marketing. Breitling has introduced a dynamic variation of its imposing Super Avenger chronograph. The Breitling Super Avenger Blacksteel Chronograph features a 48mm stainless steel case whose stealthy black surface is the result of a highly durable carbon nitride treatment. The dial has a satin black surface and sub-dials with vertically striated motifs showcasing brilliant red accents on the hands, 30-minute chronograph counter, and the tachymeter rehaut. A unidirectional rotating bezel with a luminous dot assures security and safety in monitoring critical diving intervals.

The Famous Kremlin Diamonds
Russia's Kremlin Diamonds and its most precious objects are currently displayed in the Russian Diamond Fund and the Kremlin Armory. Included in Russia's glittering line-up and famous collections are a dazzling diamond display, and the world's second largest "Orlov" brilliant diamond.
At the Kremlin museums you can see the treasures of the Mughals in the bell tower, catch Tsar Alexei's orb in the Patriarch's Palace or peer at the Russian crown jewels and the Imperial Fabergé eggs by Peter Fabergé - "vous etes un genie incomparable". (famous quotation by Empress Mariya Fyodorovna, 8th April, 1914)
Ten of the 47 Imperial Faberge eggs are kept in the Kremlin in Moscow and eleven reside in the Forbes Collection in New York.
Now, the Kremlin Diamonds, lie in their darkened vault inside the Diamond Fund. Many of the pieces and the Kremlin diamonds in the exhibition, belonged to Paul I (reigned 1796-1801) and his wife, the Empress Mariya Fyodorovna, including the extraordinary Blue Diamond Stickpin which was originally a ring.
The diamond itself may be a chip off a famous blue diamond from the eighteenth century which belonged to the French Royal family. Get the Diamond Facts Here.
After the French revolution, the blue diamond disappeared, and was re-cut twice, losing almost 20 carats in size. This 7.6 carat diamond may have come from the stone when it was re-cut. The famous Le Tavernier was renamed after its final cutting, and is now called the Hope Diamond on view at the Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, in Washington, DC.
Trying to find the State Diamond Chamber where some of the Kremlin diamonds are vaulted, requires the tenacity of an adventurer and the instincts of a hunting dog.

The Moscow Kremlin, together with the Red Square and Alexandrovsky Park, is one of the largest architectural ensembles in the world and is now also a UNESCO World Heritage site.

When you think about the state of Russia, with its hundreds of millions and a land exceeding that of the whole of Europe, it's vast possession of raw materials, then it's no wonder that the Kremlin diamonds with the other Russian imperial jewels, a dazzling encyclopedia of Russian history, would be locked away behind the walls of the great Kremlin palace.
The ancient fortress was originally the czars' power center from the mid-1500s until Peter the Great moved the Russian capital to St. Petersburg in 1712.
Several fortresses and a conglomeration of palaces are within the Kremlin, but the heart of the Kremlin was in its' workshops, known as ateliers, in which master-craftsmen were called from every corner of Russia and Europe, whilst having to keep to strict Russian tradition, to produce astonishing treasures; gem-encrusted arms to wield power and magnificent works of jewelry art in celebration of it...
And what a celebration of Russian power these ateliers produced!
The treasury holds one of the most famous collections of jewels on earth, especially notable for its - Diamonds. Considering diamond-mining is a relatively new activity in Russia, this Imperial Diamond Collection is a bold statement in itself.
The Kremlin's Armory contains exquisitely sculptured Fabergé eggs, gilt and filigree encased gospels and everything precious that had been produced in the Kremlin, and gifts from foreign sovereigns and Russian nobles. The Orloff Diamond in the center of the royal scepter of gold, silver and enamel is one such gift.
Behind the door marked "Almazny Fond" you enter the two rooms that comprise the publicly-accessible portion of the Finance Ministry's treasure-trove. It starts with some raw gems, heaps of brilliants and cases of elegant modern jewelry, but the most interesting historical objects are yet to come.
The central showcase in the second room contains the Russian Imperial Regalia. Europe's largest cut diamond, the "Orlov" or "Orloff" (on the scepter).
The legendary Orloff Diamond weighs 189.62 carats.
Collectors of fine Antique Indian Jewelry know that the purest diamonds came from India. And indeed, India is the exact place that this extraordinary beautiful Diamond calls home.
Back in the 17th century the diamond was set as the eye of Vishnu's idol (one of the Hindu Gods) in a sacred temple in Srirangam.
In 1770 Count Orlov, an ex-lover of Empress Catherine the Great purchased the diamond for 400,000 rubles and presented it back to Russia hoping for Catherine's favor in return. Grigori Orloff in exchange for the Orloff diamond was given a marble palace but never succeeded in gaining what he desired the most - Catherine's love.

2.Diamond of Hope $180,000
Cartier wanted a lot of money,” says Washington Post Columnist Sarah Booth Conroy, “and Evalyn was hesitant. So Cartier added, ‘Well, we’ve fixed it up now with a wonderful setting and you’ll like it.
Why don’t you keep it for a few days?’ And so she put it on her dresser and she looked at it and she looked at it…” “For hours that jewel stared at me,” remembers Evalyn in her autobiography, “and at some time during the night I began to really want the thing. Then I put the chain around my neck and hooked my life to its destiny for good or evil.”
The deal closes at $180,000; Cartier’s elaborate sales pitch has worked.
