The gorgeous white panther decorated with onyx spots, nose, and pear-shaped emerald eyes is absolutely mesmerizing and I just couldn't ask for anything more elegant and prestige. Cartier once again outshines the rest and remains my number one choice among the branded designs; The best so far compared to their previous black panthers and golden felines... what do you think?
Pandora mouse reminds me of the computer mouse (a.k.a optical mouse, wireless mouse, mechanical mouse, trackball mouse) with that semi circle shape and that tail that resembles the wire but it's looking kind of sweet in a lovely combination of pink shades. Compared to their previous years' infinite golden fishes as well as the blind embossed bracelet carrying the doggy charm, the mouse is cuter hands down but quality wise both the fish and dog wins.
Both CD and Nars went with just red and a simple display of their brand name while Braun Buffel chose to use their bull mascot, also taking the red and gold color scheme, Hugo Boss oversize pig head with a human like legs meets the three golden acrobatic mice, love the graphics but paper on the thinner side.
Here comes Tissot one of my first few branded sets that I have been chasing after since the monkeys... I am delighted to see the rats back after their previous cheongsam set in 2019. They also took a break in 2017 from their zodiac set and got the dogs back in 2018. Not sure why the interval because the zodiac sets are so lovely and matching collectively. If you are wondering or do not recall their 2017 design, hop over to my facebook to catch them "with screen folder" and "without screen folder" (just click on the link).
The signature shield, part of the Tudor rose before disappearing in 1947 and reappeared in 1969 is back this year in horizontal form and on a thicker paper with blind embossing, definitely my pick over their more classical approach in 2018 pair of many tiny little shields and single piece with just one golden embossed shield in 2019.
Specialized in Swiss Made watches for the professional Bell & Ross is showing off their mechanical mouse with a lovely die-cut brand name casing.

The little mouse from Rado is all curled up in a ball this year with a rather thinner paper quality. I prefer the previous Longines design especially the stunning 2018 time piece with that delicate die-cut calibre engine of the inner watch. Then there is the 2019 gold and blind embossed floral portrait piece that is just as elegant which is a personal favorite of mine as compared to their 2020 landscape piece.
AD Time took on a rather different color tone this 2020 with the sweet blue, yellow, pink and a unique calibre flap. The collaboration with Alain Delon, Charles Jordan and Bonia gave collectors three different color and timepiece design in 2018 while in 2019 they managed to feature more brands behind the three vibrant pineapples.

Jade is a gemstone made of two different minerals Jadeite & Nephrite carved into beautiful jewelry and ornaments. They have the ability to release healing properties and magnetic light filling your spirit with courage on any spiritual adventure. I am just delighted to add on their jade earrings this year and continue my DeGem collection since the horsey and both 2018 & 2019 carry the natural Jade beauty. Find the rest of the series over at my DeGem corner (click here).
Diamond & Platinum had jade body, diamond plated lion dancing head and a diamond tail in 2019, this year the paper quality and color choice has improved but with a much simpler fu design. Wah Chan is still going cute after their 4pcs set of smiley eyes piggies. This year it's all about the gold with the fortune pot and the three fortune mice. Lots of colors as compared to their two tone lion dancing pair in 2018. Poh Kong also taking the cartoon style went with the popular Mickey & Minnie theme this year.
Tomei continues to deliver their sets that is made up of independent designs in a mixture of horizontal and vertical layout. This year taking on a much sweeter tone with two pinkish floral pieces while maintaining the other two in red. Just the color alone is enough to be on top of my favorite list followed by the 2018 cheongsam and vase leaving behind the 2019 floral set and it's golden pig.
Next we have a 4 years series from Royal Selangor. Maintaining their paper, layout and size while changing the illustration of random patterns, Royal Selangor has managed to keep me hooked on to their colorful series. My fragrance series is very much behind as I only have just a few this year in my collection, Hugo Boss (at the top) and below Bvlgari and CK.
