Be ready to face the summer blaze with these hot new accessories

A must-have for future trips: good accessories to celebrate life outside. While we’ve been at home, we’ve also been dreaming of where we’d want to go when it’s safe out. Top contenders: the beach, Boracay, a calamansi muffin on a plate and a mug of coffee by its side. It’s a delicious daydream, one that will turn into a reality — eventually. 

But while all our plans have yet to find solid ground, it’s good to prepare and look to the future. And although it’s a bit of a long way off, we’ve also been getting excited over all these beautiful pieces that are perfect for every summer party and sunset vacation you might have (that is, in the upcoming months).

Santos-Dumont XL Watch

The Santos-Dumont XL Watch from Cartier is a regal timepiece that showcases elegance in a contoured case, offsetting taut lines alongside the iconic design of the original Santos-Dumont. Its bulk is far from clumsy; rather, its wide proportions are designed to put focus on both the watch’s style and the essential elements of its innovation. Its striking blue sword-shaped hands are a beautiful juxtaposition to its silver steel or pink gold face, while its sapphire beaded winding crown adds a touch of royalty to an otherwise minimalist blueprint. 

Coming in with grey, black, or navy blue alligator straps, the Santos-Dumont XL is the perfect watch to customise for timepiece connoisseurs. 

Première de Cartier Collection

Chic and timeless, Cartier’s new premier collection is eye candy for those craving something sweet this summer. The Santos de Cartier model is heavily influenced by the iconic Santos watch. Bold shapes for the modern gentleman are at the heart of its design: screws, inspired by airplane rivets, appear along its frame, on the bridge, and on its overall silhouette. Meanwhile, the lenses’ sharp corners and end tips evoke the original cut of the said watch.

For a more feminine touch, we introduce the Panthère de Cartier, which invokes the sculptural design of its namesake feline. A figurative interpretation, these sunglasses are enriched with coloured hand-lacquer touches that are suggestive of the vivacity of onyx and emerald colours. Both unique and distinctive, the Panthère de Cartier is as sleek and refined as the animal it evokes.
