Cartier

I had the pleasure to try this exceptional piece which will haunt me well past Halloween 👻 Photos credit SJX What a watch! On the wrist it hugs beautifully, courtesy of the curvature which includes a curved movement. Cartier absolutely killed it with this...  

and then to come through on execution. When it’s right and effortless it’s often Cartier.

Definitely one for your collection 😉

I acquired my first tonneau case watch this year from another brand and fell in love with it. I understand why this exceptional piece haunts you! M4

It reminds me of a Philip stein watch i had in my teens. Or even the OG Jacob the jeweler stuff. This, however, is a different level. Such artistry, it elevates this piece to something else. Thanks for sharing 👍

Upon review I do see only one balance and mainspring. In haste it looked like 2 movements. Still not my cup of tea, but a pleasure to look at

I think this is a beautiful watch, but so expensive for the quality of finish (at least the anglage), which I think should be higher for the price. It is however so elegant I can almost ignore that, but alas, only almost. Thank you for sharing, though.

I'm in no way bothered by the anglage quality, are you? How much is the platinum Cubitus and what is it's interior angle count? This watch at that price is competitive against the market and succeeds in the harmonious unification of multiple design elemen... 

The quality, not necessarily. But it's just too bad everything is smoothed out; a couple of sharp angles judiciously chosen would be great to see. I also think the Cubitus is a) a bad release, and b) not as great in finishing as Patek is capable of and la...  

but...firstly this is a skeleton piece, which is also interestingly complicated and limited to 100. This hyper focus on interior anglage vs price and comparison to others, evokes a spread sheet style analysis, completely missing the essence, about somethi... 

which is why I love the Saxonia Thin Copper Blue, even though Moritz Grossmann's offerings are better-finished. The design value and poetic value of the Saxonia is off the charts.

The critique may be unwarranted for this particular watch, but cost engineering the movement finishing of high end pieces is a philosophy that Cartier extends to non-skeletonized watches. The Tortue chronograph was not skeletonized and is similarly priced... 

Cartier made a beautiful watch. With their overhead, perhaps $78,500 is a fair asking price. There is significant doubt in my mind though. Only through honest criticism will the best version of high end Cartier emerge. Are they carrying a much larger desi... 

This one is clearly different - one, where the concept is so well integrated into the watch and not an afterthought 🙌🏻👌🏻
