Today in Gear: In-the-Know on New Releases

Cartier recently re-released its Pebble Watch, and horologists are going crazy. The timepiece was originally released in 1972 – but only six pieces were produced. Now, to celebrate its 50th anniversary, Cartier has relaunched the watch in an 18-karat yellow gold case on a brown calf leather strap. Inside the case is a manually-wound Cartier Caliber 430MC; the case itself features a rounded-edge diamond-shaped “lozenge” dial atop a softly rounded case. Similar to its ancestor, the new Pebble will be decidedly ultra-rare but more plentiful: Cartier will release only 150 new pieces of the Pebble… for $45,000 each. That said, considering one of the original models recently sold for over $400,000 earlier this year, it’s a small price to pay for a piece of history.

Today we’re taking a look at biodegradable lighting, a limited edition knife set and a new sneaker safe. This is Today in Gear.
