So...what were the reactions...
...from your friends toward this 'more elegant' version of a Cartier watch? IMO the Calibre is an extremely tasteful, elegant and masculine gentleman's watch. It is bold yet not overly agressive in its design and the Cal.1904 inside is the icing . The pink gold version is simply stunning. Thank you for the live photos.
First meeting with the 'Calibre de Cartier'
A little while ago I went with three friends to a local AD, who had organized a Richemont 'new models' show. My friends know my love for the brand, but they are more into the little larger less elegant watches. So I was very curious to see their reaction,...
Very nice intro to the Calibre...
I love the photos Geo. The SS model looks great on your wrist. I'm not sure how I feel about it in pink gold, but I suppose I should wait until I've seen it in person before making a judgment on the watch. Overall, I think its a nice looking sport watch a...

Entry level Manfacture watch?

Re.:Entry level Manfacture watch?
Hi MTF, the 1904MC is the first automatic movement made by Cartier, but the brand had already a few in house mechanical movements in the past. Think about the 9902 MC used for the Tank a Vis (time & calendar apertures) and this is probably only the beginn...
New deployant?
Hi Geo, Can you clarify what you mean by the double deployant? As far as I can tell, the Calibre (at least the ones I've seen in HK) comes with the same deployant buckle that Cartier has used for years, since the Roadster I believe. Thanks!
Hi Sean
When you open a Cartier folding buckle, you'll see that the strap, on one side, is folded backwards on the inside. Cartier changed that with the Santos 100, to the situation where the strap is folded backwards on both ends. As a result the buckle is easie...
Overall, it is a nice watch but...
I would personally prefer:- 1. the date window be smaller - show JUST ONE date. 2. Uniform hour markers - ALL roman munerals. Regards Ling
Index Adjuster
Hi, A very good review of the calibre de Cartier, I've purchased one today and needless to say I'm very excited to have it and it is definitely an eye candy! Although I noticed one thing, in the promo videos and photos on Cartier website, the index adjust...
