It is imperative to know the model number of the Rolex Watch you plan to purchase before actually buying the watch. The reason for this is because not all dealers are honest on their description. Some of them misrepresent the watches making an older watch look a newer style by customizing and not disclosing it on the description. Therefore it is important to look in the description for the model number. If the model number is not in the description then it is usually not a good sign. The model number is located at twelve ‘clock on the case between the lugs with the exception of the Oysterquartz which is located on the lugs. With the chart below you may be able to recognize the models of the most popular Rolex Watches:

Louis-Francois Cartier was the name of the founder of what it was going to be later such a prestigious company. He started his business in Paris in 1847, and in 1853 he opened up to a private clientele. In 1859 his business was growing so fast that  he opened a store in a better shopping area in Paris.

In 1899, his son Alfred Cartier, took the store to a higher level, opening at the heart of Paris, in a very luxury and expensive street, 13 rue de la Paix nearby Place Vendome. After that, this area became in the centre of international jewelery.

Alfred Cartier gave his three sons Louis, Pierre and Jacques, the management of the Maison. Pierre and Jacques established the company in London and New York, while Louis was in charge of the Parisian House.

In the early 1900′s, the famous aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont tells his friend Louis that he could not read the time on his fob watch while flying, so he asked him for help.

Later with the assistance of watchmaker Edmond Jaeger, Louis Cartier as a brilliant jeweler came up with the idea of a practical wristwatch in 1904 so his Brazilian aviator friend could keep his hands on the controls and read the time without any problem.

In 1907, Cartier signed a contract with Edmond Jaeger who would provide the movements for Cartier watches.

Baignoire and Tortue are the models introduced by Cartier in 1912, followed by the Tank model in 1917.

Louis Cartier designed the Cartier Tank watch in 1917 inspired in the war machines of the Western Front.

In the early 20′s Cartier established a joint company with Edmond Jaeger (Jaeger-LeCoultre).

The watertight watch came later in 1932 when it was specially made for the Pasha of Marrakesh.

Jacque’s son, Louis’s son and Pierre’s daughter sold the business in 1964.

Nowadays, Cartier is the base of the Richemont Louxury Group. Other brands like Vacheron Constantin, IWC, A. Lange & Sohne, Piaget, and Jaeger-LeCoultre are also in this group.

This is the beautiful Richard Mille RM 008 – V2. What is so special about that watch? Well first it is one of the models dedicated to Felipe Massa, Brazilian F1 Racer. Well, not only that since the watch is beautifully presented on red gold and white gold 40 X 50 mm oversized case. It really displays Richard Mille’s true expertise and design. The timepiece has a tourbillon movement , chronograph with split seconds, a 30 minute counter , power reserve indicator, and Torque Indicator. They are also high vibration resistant like other Felipe Massa’s models, specially designed for the F1 Racing Car’s Cockpit.

On the face we are able to see yellow and green colors around the inner case, also the hands are green as well. The reason for the those bright colors is that it carries the colors of the Brazilian flag, home of Felipe Massa . This marvelous model is only available in a limited edition of 10 pieces, 5 in pink gold and 5 in white gold.

Since this watch is so hard to find the price is very generous, may go as high as $500,000 + .
