Cartier on a budget?

Well, not generally synonymous, indeed it appears that the French Luxe Joaillier is attempting to whet the whistle (18K, of course) of their younger Japanese clients with a Bridge Collection.

A synopsis of the article:

Oct 01 Cartier drops prices to woo young (Japan Times)

Prestigious French jewelry brand Cartier plans to launch a new collection of luxury items in Japan in November priced much lower than its conventional high-end goods to woo new and younger customers, the company’s new president of Japanese operations said. Cartier officials said some of the watches in the new lineup will be priced between ¥200,000 to ¥300,000, whereas its conventional high-end watches cost from ¥500,000 to ¥900,000.

Japan Times has pulled this article for future review.
Or, perhaps the six items under $13,000.00 sold.

Ironically, October 1 celebrates the 100th anniversary of Cartier’s investiture into the American marketplace.

With our exchange rate as it stands, your $13,000.00 may buy you a key ring, scarf and a 1.6 oz bottle of ‘Must de Cartier’….eau de toilette.

Bonne Chance.

Cartier, Aoyama, Tokyo, Japan — As only They can do it ( ….and I can say ‘They’ because as a ‘Gaijin,’ I will never be part of the group…anyway….). A Beautiful and Wonderful assortment of trinkets that never even make our US Coastlines since, frankly, our economy is in the toilet ……and theirs is not quite yet. Alas.

Groove to the shiny stuff like a raccoon. (Remember to wash your lunchmeat in a stream.)

Okay, while I love a ruby gold leaf/lettered box as much as the next gal (fellas—keep those blue wrapped-in-white-ribbon babies at bay, this talk is SERIOUS).

I admit, the current fare in Boutique is somewhat lacklustre in a double digit way. I’ve had this Orchidée collection until my YinYang is sore (don’t ask, I think it happened in China…..).

If you must MUST MUST by Cartier (and yes, Ann, that means you) pitch for the charms (I like the Indian Bonnet, but I would do, wouldn’t I) The range of charms have, well, CHARM.
