SIHH 2013: Ballon Bleu tourbillon with double jumping second time zone (live photos)
I am still travelling so this is a concise overview of the pair of new watches just announced. Detailed info to come soon. New for 2013 is the Ballon Bleu tourbillon with double jumping second time zone. This is regulator style, dual time zone, jump hour ...
Thanks SJX
I have mixed emotions here. The dial lay-out is nice and the watch, as a whole, reminds me the Grande Complication. But seen this small base in such big case is not very enjoyable. Thanks for the presentation! Fx
Strictly speaking it is not a small movement
since the module is big, only the base calibre is small. But I see your point. - SJX
the 10 o'clock pusher
would be nice if it's designed to complement the 3 o'clock crown:) cheers, Ed
I think a rectangula pusher
in this case would look better than a round pusher. My subjective opinion. - SJX
Nice live preview.
Nice pics too. Not my kind of watch, but I like that movement. Thanks for sharing. Vte
SJX, it seems Cartier is on a roll ! This is a truly
impressive piece. I look forward to your SIHH report sometime in Jan.
