On the wrist today, for its inaugural wearing.
CPCP Rotonde de Cartier Jour et Nuit, white gold, Ref. #W1550151.It runs on a hand-wound JLC-supplied caliber 9903 MC, and the detailed, 3-dimensional hand engraving on the day/night hours disk is utterly captivating. I'd been waiting to wear this until a bespoke strap came in, but I've been on a Cartier rip of late, and I lost patience.
In some ways, it's a shame Cartier gave up on the CPCP enterprise, though they have, happily, gone back to re-releasing some of their historic designs - for example, the Cloche, in limited high-end series of late. I'm enjoying this one immensely. (For anybody who's wondering, this watch reads "10:23 AM" in the upper photo.)
Best holiday wishes to all!

I am still wondering. How does the hours swing to bottom half?
Never mind. I get it now.
Sweet! 👍 Congratulations!
I thought this one had my name on it...but my wallet said maybe not. ...
Oh, that skeleton dial Santos de Cartier is a stunner.
I also like the recent skeletonized automatic Santos-Dumont with the plane on the micro-rotor, though I know it's not to everybody's taste. There always seems to be something out there that we like that just doesn't fit our budget. We can always save our ...
It'll have to remain a dream for the time being.
I'm glad you realized one of your dreams though! When it's convenient for you I'd like to see a pm night time picture.
