The history of watchmaking. The brand and its watches are currently experiencing a remarkable moment. This is evident in the brand's visibility, in its sales figures (which are experiencing a significant increase in auctions) and on various digital platforms (now including TikTok). There is now a younger consumer base with a strong interest in smaller, more elegant and often more affordable timepieces. There is also a demographic that values design, and suddenly everyone knows what a Crash is. Slowly, people are discovering Cartier's lesser-known models for their originality and rarity. Cartier's entire vintage history is incredibly rich, with many fascinating products. Just a few days ago, the "Cartier - Time Unlimited" exhibition was launched, a traveling showcase located in the heart of Miami's Design District. The space was designed by the creative duo Perron-Roettinger, known for their creative direction of live shows for artists such as Rihanna and Drake. The exhibition, which spans 100 years of watchmaking history, takes an innovative and modern visual approach. It's a contemporary and bold space - for example, the entire structure is clad in red, resembling a giant Cartier box, and each room features its own soundtrack in addition to visual projections. It's a dreamlike world. So, what's your take? # 249 EVENTS, United States 👇 More contents on our website, the link to the featured news is in the first comment below.

Armani’s elegance, which is now widely recognized across the globe, evolved in dialogue with the style of his “rival” Gianni Versace, in a competition that compelled the two artists to find, refine, and improve their unique languages.   Their polarity during the 1980s and 1990s belongs to a larger narrative framework in Italian culture, which dates back to the Middle Ages. You might recall here the literary opposition of Dante and Petrarch, but rival heroes is quite a common trope later too: from the Renaissance duels of Michelangelo and Raphael, or Ariosto and Tasso, to the Baroque clash of the Roman architects Bernini and Borromini. These aesthetic and cultural feuds also translate into 20th century sports, as we see in the cycling battles of Coppi and Bartali in the 1950s, or the soccer enmity of Mazzola and Rivera in the 1970s.   In this context, then, the Armani-Versace rivalry should not be read through an antagonist cliché, fueled by opposing fan bases, but rather as an illuminating situation, heightening the visibility of each artist’s distinctive traits. In this light, their styles can be summarized in an essential antinomy: simplicity vs eccentricity, or, in other words, minimalism vs hyper-decoration. In contrast with Versace’s colorful, unconventional, and quirky style, Armani aspired to create a sophisticated balance of theatricality and effortlessness, ultimately embodying the notion that fashion, in his words, “is not about being noticed, but about being remembered”. It follows that Armani’s unstructured lines and clean cuts are not blunt simplifications, but rather the outcome of subtraction, aimed at achieving empowerment through understatement.   Check out the full episode at 👉 bit.ly/innovatorsarmani #italianinnovators #fashion #armani #versace

🤩 What do luxury and Art have in common? I recently came across an insightful piece by Delphine Dion discussing the concept of the artification of luxury. This term refers to the process of elevating luxury goods to the realm of art. By giving luxury items artistic qualities, brands enhance their prestige and elevate their perceived value. We have seen this numerous times. The partnership between Gucci and Christie's or Louis Vuitton and Kusama, etc. Artification transforms the status of luxury brands and products, positioning them as extraordinary consumer goods. This not only reinforces their pricing but also amplifies their symbolic power. In today's society having a Hermès bag is a powerful status symbol, not just because of the price but because of the waiting list to buy the "bag" (It is not just a bag, it is a kelly). However, a question arises: How can luxury maintain its artistic allure when produced on a mass scale? I would love to hear(read) your thoughts. 💫 #artluxury #arttech #creativeindustries

Collecting luxury items is driven by deep psychological factors that go beyond mere possession. For many high-net-worth individuals, owning rare and valuable items such as art, watches, and jewellery provides a sense of accomplishment and status. These collectibles often symbolise personal achievements and reflect the collector's taste and sophistication. The thrill of acquiring a unique piece and the prestige associated with owning something exclusive can be immensely gratifying. Luxury collectibles can serve as a form of investment, offering both emotional satisfaction and financial security. The desire to own these items is often fueled by the stories behind them, the craftsmanship involved, and their historical significance, making each piece a cherished part of the collector’s identity. #LuxuryCollectibles #ConsumerPsychology #HighNetWorth #LuxuryMarket #CollectingLuxury

#personalbranding 😎: Values & Authenticity = Elegance Values serve as a guiding force. People can sense your values, because values are what motivates you, so action reveals what's inside you. Whatever changes occur, staying true to values - you offer a distinctive viewpoint that sets you apart from others. When it comes to authenticity of a personal brand, I see it as elegance as defined by ✨Christian Dior✨: "Elegance must be the right combination of distinction, naturalness, care and simplicity. Outside this, believe me, there is no elegance. Only pretension." #personalbranding 📸 La Galerie Dior, Paris
