As usual, Cartier was one of the most active and creative brands of the SIHH.

The Haute Horlogerie collection was obviously spectacular but the main event for Cartier was the introduction of a collection named Drive. One year after Clé, Cartier brings the proof of its ability to build a full collection around a case shape. This Drive collection seduces me more than Clé. For two reasons: the case by itself and the basic movement of the collection which is the 1904MC in the Drive context. I like this quite subtle cushion shape which is refined, elegant and dynamic.

Of course, I will come back to this collection later.

The Tourbillon Volant works perfectly in the context of the Drive case:

The Clé collection is growing with the addition of the Squelette version. But be careful! This watch is automatic! A nice originality.

The Crash is now available in PG. The size and the shape of the case are enhanced by the material color. The watch is really spectacular.

The Star of the show for Cartier was the impressive Rotonde AstroMysterieux which can be considered as a true homage to the Mysterious watches and clocks of the past. But this time, with a much more ambitious technical approach. Of course, I will come back to it with more details.

The Rotonde Terre et Lune Tourbillon is back for our big pleasure with a new aesthetic context. The meteorite dial decorates with impact the watch and is consistent with its spirit and atmosphere. Don't forget that this watch is fun because we can play with the moonphase display which works on demand.




Last news: the 3 versions of the Calibre Diver are available now with blue bezel and dial. This color works quite well but, very surprisingly, I tend to prefer the black version. But I think that I need to see these new ones with the daylights and not the artificial lighs.

Thanks a lot to the Cartier team for the shooting session today!
