Strap yourself in

ON my recent trip to Watches and Wonders fair in Geneva, I was awestruck by the novelties launched by Cartier, with classic pieces given a new aesthetic. If you’re in the market for a Tank revamp, Cartier has a pop-up Tank Personalisation Bar in Harrods, SW1. Breathe new life into favourite timepieces with colourful straps—choose from a rainbow of hues, then contrasting or matching stitching and, finally, add the embossing of special dates, initials or a message inside the strap. You could even replicate handwriting. The bar is popping up until the end of May, but there are whisperings it may be extended. Straps from £280, Cartier at Harrods (020–3580 5374; www.cartier.com).
