SURREAL may be an understatement for this exquisite commercial! Can you imagine using that adjective to describe a TV ad? I can hardly believe I’m writing a blog about it, but I am.
Cartier has produced a spectacular commercial aptly titled L’Odyssée de Cartier. Their signature leopard leads the viewer through the evolution of the brand. Amazingly clever, beautifully executed and besides the captivating images, the soundtrack is an absolutely perfect complement to the film.
I first saw L’Odyssée as a Youtube video and I’ve embedded that link for your viewing pleasure! Cartier is running an abbreviated version on a couple of major network shows, but it’s nothing compared to the original. You won’t believe the beauty, the cinematography, the music, the woman, the dress!! And we thought Budweiser made clever Super Bowl ads – yeah right!
I was very disappointed when I saw it on TV. It was like seeing a movie adapted from a book with half the chapters left out. See for yourself!
Bill Ding and his band of clowns are the security patrol for this blog site. He is a favorite toy from the 50*s. By the way sometimes a blog is just an ego-maniacal stream of conscience.

Awesome
Well seeing this three years later leaves me speechless!!!!
I know I watch it every now and then because I think Cartier did a magnificent job with it. Did you know this extended version never played in USA?
