Cartier Calibre De Cartier

Cartier Calibre de Cartier

Cartier is known for re-imagining its design language periodically throughout history. Still, this Calibre de Cartier not only re-imagines but arguably re-invents such language, challenging how many perceive the brand and as a watchmaker.

Despite the Calibre de Cartier’s unmistakably unique execution, remarkably, the hallmarks of a Cartier creation are still present. Its cabochon-tipped multi-sided crown makes an appearance that has been paired with a prominent stainless steel case architecture featuring a chunky crown guard. Its highly legible dial remains, seen in white with concentric circles around the edge, just inside its external railroad track. As its avoidable twelve o’clock marker indicates, Roman numerals occupy the top half of the dial and share the stage with baton markers towards the lower half. And how about sword hands? Yup, they’re here too, seen flooded with luminous material paired with a sub-register tracking each passing second with a matching sword hand once more. Powering this watch is the in-house caliber 1904-PS MC representing a move to mass production, in-house created movements from La Maison.
