Fortis introduces limited edition watch with Volkswagen Design

Two very cool limited edition watch from Fortis are soon available in celebration of the Swiss science fiction film "Cargo" (coming out soon).

If you are a Fortis watch fan, you would notice that the design of these new models are different from their relatively consistent conservative design. You are right. The design is actually a collaboration between Fortis and Volkswagen Design.

The new watches, called Fortis Cargo Limited Edition Spacematic and Fortis Cargo Limited Edition Spaceleader, come in just 2012 pieces respectively. While the Spacematic has the title of the movie right on the dial, the Spaceleader has no "Cargo" movie branding on it. Both watches are powered by a ETA movement and have a sapphire crystal. While Spacematic has 200 meters of water resistance, Spaceleader is only water resistant to 100 meters.


Spacematic is more basic. Many prefer Spaceleader to Spacematic. The Fortis Spaceleader is one of the few avant garde watches out there that succeeds in also being a fantastic utilitarian time keeper and chronograph instrument. The watch is estimated to sell at around $3,000.

With a sophisticated futuristic design, these two watches are actually reasonable of something that would be popular in the future and quite attractive for a spaceship crew member.

Fortis has been involved with professional aviation and space exploration watches for a while. Russian cosmonauts have been using Fortis watches, and Fortis recently submitted their MARS 500 Experiment watch as they want to be the watch to go to Mars. Currently, the Fortis replica watch is not very commonly available as other big names such as Rolex and Omega.

China could become Cartier's biggest market within 4 years

The French luxury jewelry and watch brand Cartier announced they would double the number of stores in mainland China in 4 years, making China its largest market in the world.

The news was announced by Cartier's CEO Bernard Fornas, at a China Investment Summit on Thursday. Currently China is Cartier's second largest market after Japan, with 32 boutiques in 18 cities. "China is experiencing huge wealth creation, and there is lots of conspicuous consumption related to that," says Goldman analyst Jacques-Franck Dossin. "People want to show they are successful." One way of doing that, of course, is with a pricey Cartier watch.

Cartier watches and jewlry are welcomed among the riches for its timeless design and mix of well-established traditions with the latest novelties. But It is said Cartier's traditional strongholds, Japan and the United States, are both suffering weak consumer demands due to the heavy strike by the global financial turmoil.

According to Retuers, Cartier's Swiss parent company Richemont, the world's third largest luxury goods group behind LVMH and Hermes, already freezed the headcounts and initiated job cuts to help it overcome the crisis. But Fornas said it was mostly in the past. "The worst, I think, is hopefully behind us." he said.
