When I talked to Raggi last year, he told me that it was clear from early on that the new "Universelle" release link was going to link need a round case to be able to be released, but at the time (the watch started development in 2016), the Code 11.59 didn't even exist yet. It's not clear to me if that means the Code came into existence link for this monumental achievement, but from the start, the watch was destined not to be a Royal Oak Concept. So, does that mean we're seeing the end of the collection?

First up is Rolex, who, Eric Ku – leading horological expert and cofounder of online auction platform Loupe This – told me "were link really the pioneers for this stuff… Brands like Rolex and Patek, who have been doing link this since the '60s, have catalogs of swag that dealers pay for and give out at their own discretion." In link recent years, the Crown has made key chains, puffer vests, and logo-branded mirrors.

With transparent watches on the brain after this week's announcement of the Chanel link J12 X-Ray we thought it would be fun to look back at a truly incredible statement of the form 2012's Cartier link ID Two Concept. An example of link cutting edge Haute Horology and class-defining micro-engineering while never intended as a commercial product the ID Two remains an undeniably special creation and a strong statement of capability from Cartier.
