Why this surreal 'dripping' watch has become a cult celebrity favorite



It was nonetheless an important development for the company's London outpost, which at that time only stocked Cartier watches from France and Switzerland. Jean-Jacques "really did want to push things forward," Clymer said, adding the Crash helped establish the British branch's reputation for design. "From a geometric perspective, it was just so different than everything else out there." 
 
The very first Crash is thought to have sold for around $1,000 (about $9,000 in today's money). But the model has soared in value on the resale market in recent years.In 2021, one dating to 1970 fetched over 806,000 Swiss Francs ($908,000) at Sotheby's in Geneva, setting a record for the model. Less than a year later, an exceptionally rare 1967 original smashed the record again when it sold for over $1.65 million via the online watch auction site Loup. These astronomical prices can be attributed, in part, to the model's scarcity on the collectors' market, according to Tom Heap, a watch specialist at Sotheby's London. Although Cartier does not publicize the total number made, experts believe it is in the hundreds, rather than the thousands. They exist in "immeasurably small quantities," Heap added on a video call.
 


On Monday, WonderWoman flew into the OC with Granddog, Zoey. And, WW's Mom was thrilled. She is staying till Thursday morning. What a treat to have her stay with me. Of course there are various appointments and people she needs to see, but she come home to me. Tuesday, WW picked up her Dad and took him to Rockwells where the three grandsons were waiting, it looks like they had a good time.

When WW came she brought these beautiful tulips.


Feeling very grateful.

Great collage, Jacki. Are it the colors that let one feel the aggression? Do you understand what I wanted to say? I think there are quite some mistakes in my sentence - sorry.

I'm so glad you are having a good time with your daughter. Seeing your grandsons is always a treat.

Thanks Elenor, I understood exactly what you said. I think you do amazing in English, I wouldn't have a clue in German. Thanks again.
