Buy it now: Cartier at Net-a-Porter

Even though I didn’t buy it myself (it was a gift about 20 years ago), my Cartier Panthère watch has been one of my most faithful style companions. With its steel bracelet, curved corners and discreet sapphire winding crown, it really is a go-anywhere watch.

It’s ramping up its offer of fine jewellery and watch brands and to accompany the news, it has released a new Cartier campaign. If anything can entice you to splash that cash, this is it. (more…)

On my radar: Astley Clarke’s Astronomy jewellery

Astley Clarke has found a gem in its new creative director Dominic Jones. His story is an interesting one.
