this one currently retails at SGD8,100. Can get a Rolex Explorer with that money....

im not really a fan of rolex. the only rolex watch I like is the rose gold rolex yacht...

And not forgetting a Monaco variant with the El Primero, add a 1 behind the 8 for that one.

That one is a rare beast locally, only seen it once on TV worn by a celeb.

Read the article. Lol. You will think differently
I had the same mind set till I read it.

Cartier was a jeweler and designer first, and watchmaker second –*so what you end up with are timepieces that look simply like nothing else out there.

Just like how Ralph Lauren is clothing first, watches 2nd.
Just like how Leebee is trunk makers and leather products maker first, watches 2nd
Just like how Mont Blanc is upmarket pen maker first, watches 2nd.

Just like what the article mentioned...
in order for people who are really into watches or avid horological lovers, to sit up and seriously consider Cartier, Mont Blanc as serious watch makers, they need to invest heavily, have separate watch-making divisions, create their own movements etc

Plus Since Mont Blanc, Cartier, JLC, ALS, VC are all under the richemont group, therefore it's easy to share watchmaking resources and knowledge around, especially from JLC and ALS.

The most significant was Ex JLC CEO Jerome Lambert joining Montblanc as CEO in July 2013. And almost immediately, the designs of Mont Blanc watches started to look more visually appealing and attracting young executives with high spending power...

Still... having said so much...

Cartier was jewelry maker first, still is and will always be... unless someone becomes CEO and changes everything

Roots don't change...

Sure can just the F1. Paying for the marketing to let go pals go wow it's a tag!
This F1 Quartz is at your budget.

Im not a watch expert, but still can see the ap is clearly a bad fake.

Till this day I still can't really tell the differences for a top grade AP replica from the real one just by a brief glance

With that blur photo cannot see. I went to see the Facebook page. The rotor is a dead give away.

Follow your heart sir.

Personally I like this REF: CAW211P.FC6356

tag-heuer-monaco-calibre-11-chronograph-ref-caw211p-fc6356-prezzo-price_0-1001.jpg

But why did Tag Heuer name this movement as Calibre 11? This new Monaco is not even using the original Heuer Calibre 11 (refer picture below). It just serve to confuse consumers only. :s22:

The Calibre 11 movement used in this new Monaco is basically a Sellita SW300 with a Dubois-Depraz chronograph module. :D
