So going back to the http://www.modserap.com/cartier-santos-replica-australia-for-sale-html.html and Cartier situation. In 2004 FP. Journe apparently accused Cartier of copying the looks of its Octa Automatic watch - that has a small frame secured with three screws over the smaller hours and minutes, with a second subdial in the middle of the watch dial. It is really the three screws and their "figure 8" layout which FP. Journe was accusing Cartier of copying. Everything I have read about this situation was translated from French, so I am doing my best to understand it all. Based on the language, it appears at though the issue was based around copyright - but it could have trademark infringement elements in it. This is because the cartier pasha replica watch featured this design, and they could have made the argument that there is a consumer association between the design and the brand. Trademark protection is all about product or service origination association, and (real or likely) consumer confusion.
Both courts sided with cartier ballon bleu replica and not Cartier. Why? Because Cartier presented evidence of older pocket watch designs that it copied, and that those designs not only predated the Cartier designs, but that they were not original to Cartier. Why did Cartier end up paying Cartier even though they brought the suit? I believe that because the law in Europe sometimes has the losing party pay for the Santos costs of the winning party. The specific watch that Cartier released that had the infringing design was the Octa (see above is the Octa Perpetual watch in titanium). I am not 100% sure this specific watch was part of the suit (as I seems to have been released recently), but it does display how Cartier used the design that they alleged was being copied.
Due to the nature of this device each will be a bespoke model, engineered to reproduce the signature of its owner with extraordinary accuracy. Just a finger touch is necessary to make the cams spring into action releasing a hinged arm and pen. When contact is made with the document, the signature is scribed using a surprisingly fluid action. It is, in fact, such a compelling spectacle, that I predict that on delivery of each unique model, hours will be lost as its new owner becomes immersed in a bonanza of non-essential document signing.
Santos 100 case is a complex mishmash of design elements that do end up working well together in relative harmony. The design grows on you because it of balance and attention to detail. Though alone, elements of the watch can appear highly industrial and seemingly out of place. Skeletonized bezel claws on a Cartier? Not something I would have predicted to work, but they do. On the wrist you get an experiment in design, that doesn't fail to be comfortable or attractive. The 100 is masculine, but extremely European in its graceful composure. It is artistic, while suggesting a sport theme. I guess that is the best way of describing it.
