Cartier revisits the tonneau form, which made its first appearance in 1906, with this skeletonized rendition displaying two time zones. Crafted in platinum, the manual-winding 9919 MC.
The shape of the movement has been modified, aligning the wheels in the gear train to follow the curve of the case and using the bridges to create sub-dials for easy reading of the two time displays. 100-piece limited edition.
Cartier Santo-Dumont
When a timepiece is this modern in temperament and design,
it's hard to imagine that it's actually celebrating its 115th anniversary this
year! The new Santos-Dumont watch honours the one which Cartier first imagined
in 1904 for the pioneering aviator, Alberto Santos-Dumont. A pink gold case,
Roman numerals, visible screws, beaded crown and a blue cabochon carry on the
legacy of this truly classic watch. Quartz movement having an automomy of 6
years. I would prefer an manual winding more.
Panther
Cartier creativity and expertise come to life on a grid-like
dial whose every miniature square has been hand-painted to recreate the fur of
Cartier's beloved feline.
When darkness falls, all that remains are the panther's
piercing eyes, which are highlighted with SuperLuminova.
