Cartier x Hodinkee | Vintage Glasses
For me, the outstanding feature about these vintage Cartier, rather ironically, is that there is not much to them. A strange point of view, especially when you consider the substantial price tag attached to them. But what you are truly buying, is their quality, one that is very hard to realize – as many modern brands…

L’Envol de Cartier
Cartier are renown for their prestige, their almost ethereal quality as a brand representative of that glass ceiling purchase.

LAFERRARI | The number 500
It’s been a tumultuous year to say the least, with recent events in Colombia only serving to add to a growing list of seeming ‘anomalies’ that have occurred over the last 12 months or-so.

Thinkpiece : Have we become more Impatient?
Have we lost the art of patience? When Internet speeds were restricted by the limitations of dial-up, the fact that the webpage loaded at all was incredible in itself, but now we get frustrated if we can’t stream flawless video in Ultra HD, or if a heavily image imbued website takes over 0.79 seconds to…

And quite rightly so, many of us that made the transition from the timer-strewn-update-riddled-anti-virus plagued world of the PC to ‘serene’ world of the Apple MacBook have not looked back since. We’re talking about a veritable inertia here; after all, why…
