Cartier Watches unveils two new luxury watches
Cartier has been hard at work on two new models, with a titanium-heavy timepiece and a diamond-embellished product being the choices
Luxury watchmaker Cartier has revealed a couple of new timepieces which could get watch fans reaching for their purses or wallets.
The first of these products is the Cartier Calibre de Cartier Astrotourbillon, which has benefited from being designed with the extremely light material of titanium, Watch Luxus reported.
Furthermore, a 47mm case nudges this timepiece more towards the larger products on the market, which allows its easy-to-read dial to be viewed easily.
For people after a bit of bling on their wrist, it may be better to go for the Cartier Tourbillon & Crocodile Watch, one of the striking elements which stands out on the dial is how a diamond croc protects the time for the consumer.
Glittering diamonds also border the case of this particular fashion watch, with a bed of red and green lilies at the six o'clock position providing some colour to the product, Watch Luxus also commented.

Male gymnasts' victory means full quota for team at London 2012
Great Britain beat rivals by over seven points

Britain's male gymnasts qualified in style for the London 2012 Olympics in the arena in which they will compete this summer, confirming a full quota of places at the Games. The British team were forced to go through the all-or-nothing process owing to a disappointing performance at the world championships in Tokyo in November last year that left them 10th and outside the top eight automatic qualification places.
Needing to finish in the top four, the British team laid to rest those demons and delivered with few mistakes to top the leaderboard by more than seven points from France, Spain and Italy.
In doing so, they secured a full complement of men's places for the first time in 20 years and raised hopes of a possible medal opportunity in the team event. Qualification, ultimately secured with ease, was seen as vital to continuing the progress made by British Gymnastics over the past five years.
Liverpudlian Daniel Purvis, the all-rounder who came fourth at the world championships, led the way including a 16.266 routine – the highest score of the night – on the vault and a score of 15.4 on the floor.
He also finished top of the individual rankings and said that the failure in Japan "may have been a blessing in disguise" given that the confidence boost that Tuesday night's performance would bring. His team-mates Kristian Thomas and Daniel Keatings came second and third in the individual rankings.
A nerveless start on the high bar, the apparatus on which the British team made a series of disastrous mistakes in Tokyo from which they failed to recover, set the tone for a confident display without any falls.
Their score of 358.227 would have put them third at the world championships, but Keatings refused to be drawn on their medal chances: "I don't want to jinx anything but it was a great performance today and hopefully we'll put in a performance like that [at the Games]. If we do, who knows what will happen."
Keatings, who fell from the bar in Tokyo, made a confident start and dismounted to loud cheers, while Thomas also impressed with a score of 15.133 at the 20,000 capacity arena that will host artistic gymnastics and the basketball finals during the Games.
"It was amazing. It was a big relief, this was such an important competition. We've worked hard over the festive period, we didn't have a day off and it's really paid off today," said Keatings. "We really had to come together as a team, they're like family now."
The men's artistic team was comprised of Keatings, Louis Smith, Purvis, Thomas, Ruslan Panteleymonov, Max Whitlock and the reserve Sam Hunter. On each set of apparatus, five of the six members of the team competed and the top four of those five scores are added together.
Smith, the former X-Factor hopeful who won a surprise bronze on the pommel in Beijing and competed only on that apparatus for the team, played to the crowd and scored 15.133. He wobbled slightly but steadied himself and finished with a flourish, the relative difficulty of the routine ensuring a high score. Keatings and Whitlock also scored over 15.
Smith and Keatings had spoken before the event of the likely pressure but that will be nothing compared to that they will face at the same venue this summer. "The boys were all switched on, they all did the job and what we have to do now is not get complacent. You have to be switched on 100% of the time, you have to do the right training and you have to respect the competition," said Smith, the team captain.
Keatings paid tribute to the crowd: "They were amazing, they created an amazing atmosphere and gave us an extra boost going on to each piece." Eddie Van Hoof, the British Gymnastics technical director, said: "It was a difficult start on the high bar, which was our disaster piece in Tokyo. We rehearsed it every day, the team handled it very well and from then on everything was going to build."
The difficulty level on each piece of apparatus had been toned down to ensure that unnecessary risks were not taken. If Britain had failed to qualify, they would have been able to select just one male gymnast for the Games; now they will take a full team of five.
The British women have already qualified and will not be in action at the test event but two of the younger team members, Jocelyn Hunt and Rebecca Tunney, will compete as part of a mixed group to gain experience.
Next Wednesday, the women's rhythmic gymnastics group will attempt to attain a baseline score required by the British Olympic Association in order to take up a host nation place.
The nine-day London Prepares event is the first in a new round of events designed to test every aspect of the venues that will host the Games in July.
The O2, here renamed the North Greenwich Arena to comply with the International Olympic Committee's "clean venues" policy, handles large crowds every night of the week and had already hosted the 2009 Gymnastics World Championships so the focus of this test event was on London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games's scoring and technology.
"It is our biggest one to date," said Paul Deighton, Locog's chief executive, ahead of the event. "The focus for this event is on the field of play. Making sure that our timing and results technology works is really important and, of course, to test our workforce."
In common with Locog's attempts to jazz up the presentation of other sports, which saw loud chart hits between games at the table tennis test event and the introduction of bright blue hockey pitches, the platforms surrounding the apparatus were shocking pink rather than the usual navy blue.
male Giant panda 'sick with colic' and taken off public display
The male Giant panda at Edinburgh Zoo has been taken ill suffering from colic.
Yang Guang has retreated from public view to his sick bed while he recovers from the illness.
The panda only arrived at the zoo from China on December 4 a few weeks ago, along with fellow panda Tian Tian.
Yang Guang settling into his new home at Edinburgh Zoo last month. He now has colic according to vets
The pair, whose names mean Sunshine and Sweetie, are the first giant pandas to live in the UK for 17 years.
The zoo will be their home for the next 10 years and it is hoped that the breeding pair will produce cubs during their stay.
The eight-year-old animals' arrival from Ya'an reserve in Chengdu, China, is the result of five years of work to bring them to Scotland.
Edinburgh Zoo is now one of only 13 zoos in the world with pandas.
Colic is a common condition that, in humans, affects around one in five babies of both sexes. Its cause is unknown.
The most common symptom of colic is excessive crying in a baby which otherwise appears to be healthy and well-fed.
Yang Guang's indoor enclosure has been closed so he can recuperate but the public might be able to catch glimpses of him in his outdoor enclosure.
Yang Guang makes his first appearance in front of the media last month. He is expected to be back on his paws in two weeks
Iain Valentine, director of research and conservation at the zoo, said: 'Yang Guang is not on show today as he has an episode of colic. It's not very serious but can cause some discomfort.
'He's on medication to relieve this and we're mainly keeping him relaxed and indoors, although we expect he'll go out sometimes to stretch his legs.
'These episodes can sometimes last up to a couple of weeks, so he may not always be on show over the next week or so.
'Alison, our panda team leader, and the veterinary department are keeping a close eye on him.
'Having discussed this with our colleagues in China, they reassure us this is not uncommon in pandas.
'Tian Tian is right as rain and remains on show daily.'
The pair arrived from China last month in a 777 aircraft, nicknamed the 'FedEx Panda Express', transported in specially-designed crates with perspex sides.
Tian Tian and Yang Guang then made the 15-minute journey from the airport to the zoo in a lorry.
Staff from the FedEx Express said the pandas' in-flight meals included bamboo, apples, carrots, mineral water - and a special panda cake.
They went on show to the public for the first time on December 16 after acclimatising to their new surroundings away from the public glare.
The landmark moment for the zoo brought with it a 200 per cent increase on the usual number of visitors through the gates on a typical December day.
