Cartier Watches in Ocean 8
If you’ve ever watched the movie Ocean 8 (the film that stars Cartier’s Jacques Cartier and Tom Hanks) you may have noticed that the men wear watches in the film. This is not unusual, in fact many movies will feature watches as a prop, and even the film director, Steven Soderbergh, has used this type of prop in several of his films. Here’s a look at some of the watches worn by the men in Ocean 8.
Jacques Cartier originally designed the necklace
The Oceans 8 necklace is a replica of a piece that was originally designed by Jacques Cartier. The original necklace was created for the Maharajah of Nawanagar, a ruler of a princely state in British India.
During the early twentieth century, emerald jewellery was prized by the Maharajahs. As a result, Jacques Cartier commissioned a piece of emerald jewelry. This was a necklace that consisted of a 12-carat olive green diamond, 136-carat blue-white Queen of Holland Diamond, and fancy-coloured diamonds from the Maharajah’s own collection.
Despite the fact that the original necklace no longer exists, Cartier has preserved a number of photographs and sketches of the piece. These photos and drawings were used by the Cartier designers when they were recreating the necklace for the movie.
Although Cartier was able to create a replica of the necklace, the size of the necklace was reduced. It was scaled down to fit Anne Hathaway. In the process, the necklace was made from zirconium oxides mounted on white gold, which gives the necklace a bright shine from every angle.
In order to get the right size, Cartier went to its archives to see what they had. They found photos of the owner of the original necklace, and they re-discovered the necklace’s design drawing. After that, the artisans at Cartier’s High Jewelry workshop in Paris were able to recreate the necklace for the movie.
In just eight weeks, the artisans at Cartier’s High Jewellery workshop were able to complete the replica necklace. When the filming of the movie began, the artisans flew the necklace to New York, where they were able to fit it to Anne Hathaway.
Ocean’s 8 opened nationwide on June 8, 2018. It is the latest entry in the successful “Oceans” film franchise. With an all-female lead cast, the movie fits in with Cartier’s mission to empower women.
As an exclusive jewelry partner for the movie, Cartier was able to make a number of pieces of jewelry for the cast and crew. The company also loaned several pieces of jewelry for cameos in the film.
Steven Soderbergh directed the film
Ocean’s 8 is a remake of Steven Soderbergh’s original Ocean’s trilogy. It stars Sandra Bullock as the titular character. She is accompanied by an all-female team of thieves. The movie is set in New York City, with a heist that is centered on the Met Gala.
Ocean’s 8 was released in theaters across North America in June. Most tracking firms estimated the film to gross $40 million or more in its opening weekend. This put it on par with the all-female Ghostbusters reboot of 2016.
The film was directed by Gary Ross and written by Ross and Olivia Milch. It also features Anne Hathaway, Sarah Paulson, and Awkwafina. However, compared to the original Soderbergh trilogy, the new film lacks the same bravado and flair.
For the most part, Ocean’s 8 is harmless fun. It is a nice summer evening film. And despite a small budget, the movie was able to produce a positive reception. But, a number of critics have had reservations.
On the plus side, there are some excellent acting performances from the cast. Among them are Sandra Bullock, who plays Debbie Ocean, and Anne Hathaway, who plays Daphne Kluger. Also, Mindy Kaling, Helena Bonham Carter, and Sarah Paulson appear as members of the team.
As a whole, Ocean’s 8 doesn’t have the zany twists or enticing dialogue that made the Soderbergh films so popular. Instead, it’s a more streamlined version of a classic caper movie. There’s a bit of parallel play, but there’s less interaction between characters.
In addition to its star-studded ensemble, Ocean’s 8 offers a more straight-forward heist than its predecessor. The plot revolves around an all-female heist team led by Danny Ocean’s sister, Debbie (Sandra Bullock). They’re targeting a $150 million diamond necklace, which was originally designed by Jacques Cartier in 1931.
Although Ocean’s 8 doesn’t have the same style or panache as its Soderbergh predecessors, it’s a pleasant summer evening movie. If you’re looking for a quick laugh, though, it might not be the best choice.
Unlike its predecessors, Ocean’s 8 has a strong, female lead. This reflects the post-9/11 era, where audiences have become more interested in comedies with women as the focal point.
Replicating diamonds with zirconium oxide as a prop for the film
If you’re interested in the latest film, Ocean’s 8, you might have noticed that the multimillion dollar necklace is not made of diamonds. Instead, it’s made of zirconium oxides mounted on white gold. Cartier, the exclusive jeweler for the movie, lent this piece and several other pieces to the film’s cast and crew.
For the film, Cartier used a sketch from the original Maharajah’s necklace as the basis for its replica. This isn’t the first time that the jeweler has been involved in a film. It also has a long history of creating high-profile pieces for high-profile clients.
The necklace was originally created for a man, but Cartier had to alter it for a woman. To do this, the size was reduced by around 15 percent. They also used detachable elements. In true Cartier style, the necklace was custom fitted at the Cartier High Jewelry workshop in Paris.
One of the major advantages of cubic zirconia is that it is inexpensive. However, there are some disadvantages. Firstly, it is not as durable as a real diamond. There’s also the possibility of chipping. Some of the reasons for chipping are surface properties, t-m transformation and loading stresses.
A number of possible factors have been reported as the main cause of chipping, including poor core wetting, a sandblasting process and the use of metallic pigments that are in a liquid state. Another potential reason is thermal expansion coefficient mismatch.
There’s also a risk that the particles in zirconia can interact with other phases. These can result in microcracking. Also, the chemical bond between the zirconia and the ceramic could become weaker.
While these factors might not be the primary reason for the necklace’s failure, they certainly contributed to it. Zirconia can be susceptible to microcracking, so it’s important to make sure that the design of the framework is done properly.
Finally, it’s important to know how the necklace was made. The original version of the necklace was created by Jacques Cartier in 1931. During the same year, the jewelry maker joined forces with Warner Brothers and Village Roadshow Pictures to create the necklace for the movie.
Watches worn by the men in the film
Cartier was the exclusive jeweler for Ocean’s 8, an all-female reboot of the popular Ocean’s franchise. The company loaned watches and jewelry to the cast of the film for five consecutive nights. They included the Panther de Cartier collection designed by Jacques Cartier.
Cartier has a long history of creating jewelry for high-profile celebrity clients. In fact, they have been involved with several of Hollywood’s most prominent actresses, including Sofia Coppola. This latest partnership is no different. All the actresses in Ocean’s 8 will wear the brand’s pieces.
The necklace that plays a central role in the Ocean’s 8 heist was created by Cartier in Paris. It is named the “Jeanne Toussaint” and was inspired by a piece Jacques Cartier designed for the Maharaja of Nawanagar in 1931. However, in real life, this piece no longer exists. So, Cartier replicated it from archival drawings and photographs.
The necklace is made of white gold and features a central diamond that is set in zirconium oxides. It was designed to fit a man, but it was scaled down to the proportions of Anne Hathaway.
The original piece was a piece of art, and Jacques Cartier called it “the most beautiful waterfall of coloured diamonds in the world.” As the film’s story line unfolds, the crew of thieves try to steal the necklace, but Daphne Kluger (Anne Hathaway) is able to resist.
Cartier is happy to be a part of the upcoming Ocean’s 8. They are thrilled to continue their long-standing relationship with Hollywood and are excited to continue their legacy of providing top-notch, handmade jewels for the silver screen.
Watches worn by the men in the film include the Cartier Tank MC, a steel case with black alligator-skin strap. The Cactus de Cartier ring is also made from 18K yellow gold and is set with six brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 0.27 carats. Tyrell Wellick is also wearing an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, which is more modern and bolder.
Cartier’s involvement in Ocean’s 8 includes a special exhibition that will run until June 8 at the Cartier Mansion in New York City. Visitors can see pieces from the Panther de Cartier collection, the Cartier Collection, as well as current new or High Jewelry pieces.
