New releases from Cartier, Hermès, Zenith x Time+Tide and more

Pietro Pilla

Summer is flourishing in Europe, and what better than ice-blue tones to cool (at least visually) the rising temperatures? We have also had our share with the release of our White Surfer with an ice-blue dial in collaboration with Zenith, as has Hermès for the ice-blue accents on one of the two multi-layered dials of the Faubourg of Dreams. Cartier has chosen a slightly darker shade with the new Tank Américaine exclusively for Europe, and you will see the trend continue in the rest of our selection. Enjoy your reading!
