Really interesting designs…
Hi Anthony
Cartier have consistently come out with interesting pieces in the last couple of years and the case design and finishing looks excellent as do the movement details.

Very elegant and pure and clearly recognisable as being from the house of Cartier.
Thanks
Andrew
