After years of neglect and ignominy, including having their movements cannibalized for spare parts and their cases melted down, old wristwatches, particularly models made from the early 1920s through the '40s, have come into their own. Auction houses are getting "record prices" for vintage Rolexes and collectible Cartiers, according to Daryn Schnipper, a watch expert at Sotheby Parke Bernet. Sotheby's had four major auctions in New York in 1984 that prominently featured wristwatches; another, just last week, established several new highs including a record for a 1935 Cartier Tank...
...spent millions, traveling with an entourage that would pauper a Saudi prince, taking over entire floors of famous hotels. Like Henry VIII, a part he played with gusto in Anne of the Thousand Days, Burton lavished jewels on his consort: the 33-carat Krupp diamond, the 69-carat Cartier diamond and the lustrous Peregrina pearl that King Philip II of Spain gave Mary Tudor in 1554. Liz and Dick made a couple of good movies together, including Virginia Woolf and The Taming of the Shrew, and some fine glitzy entertainments, like The V.I.P.s, but for the most part their professional...
Hart, wearing black cowboy boots and an ersatz Cartier watch, remains something of a mystery man, a cross between brooding Jay Gatsby from the West and Star Trek's ultrarational Mr. Spock from the future. "I never reveal myself or who I am," he said in 1972. Hart once suggested his relationship with Lee was "a reform marriage": they have separated twice, and reconciled most recently in the spring of 1982. In public they seem distant, rarely glancing at each other or touching. Hart is an avid reader. Not long ago, a reporter suggested he read Ironweed, William Kennedy...
...Creator George Lucas, Comedian Robin Williams, Simon's once and present singing partner, Art Garfunkel, and Billy Joel, who presented the couple with a jukebox filled with records from the 1950s. More traditionally, Papa Fisher gave his daughter six ruby, garnet, jade and diamond rings and a vintage Cartier watch. To his new son-in-law he gave his "most prized possession," a framed photograph of Fisher holding Carrie and her brother Todd when they were babies. After the formalities, though, the customary honeymoon was replaced by a "working honeymoon" as the couple flew off to Houston, where Simon...
...photographs, and his alter ego speaks: "Shall I say it then, in front of all these people? She took my hand and placed it high on her thigh, raising her skirt and slightly opening her legs . . . And all the time we kept talking in loud voices about Cartier-Bresson and was photography an art." Using the same device in scalding counterpoint, Nichols has James and his alter ego collaborate on a steamy love letter to Kate at the same moment that it is being read aloud by Eleanor's alter ego to Eleanor and the person who intercepted...
