My new watch purchase. Elegance at its best!
OK, it's a Cartier Ballon Bleu, but which type ?
You must have guess right now.
The Ballon Bleu Flying Tourbillon.
It has a stouning double dial with guilloche second level and roman numerals which is very elegant and classy. Also the overall shape is unique, the shape of the doom sapphire crystal contributes to that. The quality of the movement is guarantied by the Geneva seal.
All in all, a watch that keeps pace with the long history of Cartier in haute horlogerie.

Congrats Aris, Nice teasing too ;-) You did a very good choice, this piece is amazing, more than the Santos 100 and the Tank Americaine. I love this watch and specially the work on the face. Stephane
Request
First of all; great watch! Can I put in a request for a wristshot with your complete wrist in it? On another Cartier-forum there was the discussion about the big diameter of Cartier's new Haute Horlogerie models, but this doesn't seem that bad at all. Man...
Here we go Martin.
I hope you excuse my fotographical skills, they are not compatible with my small watch collection. Anyway, the Ballon Bleu Tourbillon wears smaller, because of the overall case shape (doom-like) and the rich bezel. You should go to the nearest AD and try ...
Thanks Aris!
Your wrist is not much larger then mine, so the watch definately wears smaller. Also great to see how well it blends in with more casual clothing. Guess the BB Tourbi is more allround then you first would expect. Enjoy! Martin
Wow! Congrats!
Tourbillon in the cool Ballon Bleu case, with a glowing rose gold case. What more can you ask? I also love the striking guilloche on the dial. The white, gray, and blue form a very attractive dial color combination. Enjoy! Jon
What a beauty ! Excellent choice
It's been a masterpiece since the watch came out couple years ago. In particular, its look is enriched by your pink cuff. Enjoy having this beauty for the years to come. Cheers. wychiu
