Cartier LOVE Bracelets

The Love bracelet (styled L⊝Ve, with the horizontal line inside the letter "O" alluding to the bracelet's locking mechanism) is a famous piece of jewelry designed in 1969 by Aldo Cipullo for the French jeweler Cartier SA. The bracelet quickly became popular for its provocative (and intentional) resemblance in function to medieval chastity belts.

Cartier (as of 2009) continues to make the bracelets, and has since created other products based on the original bracelet's design, including cufflinks, rings, necklaces and watches, expanding the design into a jewelry line.

Zac Efron Wears Cartier Calibre Watch

Actor Zac Efron was recently spotted wearing Cartier's newer Calibre men's watch while at the 2010 Deauville American Film Festival. New for 2010, the Calibre is an impressive, large design that melds sports and sophistication rather well - being a larger watch. Connoisseurs appreciate that it contains an in-house Cartier made movement. I first wrote about the Cartier Calibre watches here. Here is is wearing a steel Calibre watch with a black colored dial and an alligator strap. What exactly is he praying for though?
