Rotonde de Cartier

The most extensive men’s collection (but that by no way excludes women from taking to these attractive models) is also one of the most modern. Although it appears to have vintage origins, as much as a century ago, this is not the case. It was first launched in 2006, however the timepiece’s retro aura lends the watch a genuine connection with the brand’s long history. Whether it be the Roman numerals, the blue hands, or the beaded crown with a cabochon.

The cases are also an amply ideal place to locate the brand’s various complications and fascinating technological elements during production. Whether it be the hands that appear to levitate, a flying tourbillon, or the mysterious skeleton. More traditional additional mechanisms, such as the chronograph, annual calendar or retrograde lunar phases are also popular. The movements that beat inside these gems are manufactured at the Cartier manufactory in La-Chaux-de-Fonds and the Métiers d’Art studios.
