New super high-end manufacture watches from Cartier

More than the last few years my interest and respect for Cartier has genuinely grown. Confident, a lot of their timepieces are mass produced, but they've a penchant for very good, lasting style. Good style - as I'm understanding much more and much more - just isn't effortless. Designing something to appear outstanding and genuinely cool for 5 minutes is actually not that hard. Executing a design that looks excellent every single time you examine it, for years, isn't so simple.

Interestingly enough, watches with "good" designs don't impact you right away. You may take a look at them a bit ambiguously at first. Then, right after paying attention to them for a while, the high quality of the style grows on you. I've in no way looked at a Cartier watch once and been like, "Winner!" It takes me a although to appreciate them. Sure sufficient, though, I've grown to genuinely respect virtually each timepiece by Cartier from a design perspective.

Now there are the new super high-end manufacture watches from Cartier. Haute Horology now gets Cartier worthy designs. While these super high-end pieces aren't all keepers, there are sufficient outstanding ones. My favorite from last year was the Cartier Rotonde Astrotourbillon watch. The mechanism placed the escapement on a hand that functioned as the seconds hand. The dial has a special "trench" that gave space for the astrotourbillon complication.

For 2011 Cartier will use exactly the same Astrotourbillon movement and put it in a Calibre case. The Cartier Calibre was released last year as their newest men's watch collection. This year, I suspect the Calibre collection will see new models (like a Chronograph) and this astrotourbillon version is one of them. This will be the exact same Cartier MC 9451 manually wound movement as inside the Rotonde version.

The watch case will be 47mm wide in titanium, water resistant to 100 meters, and with a sapphire crystal. Note the significant blue sapphire cabochon in the crown. The design of the dial has been done in a quite intricate manner as to sustain the look of the standard Calibre dial as well as incorporate the astrotourbillon complication. A stunning piece that, for me, is much more desirable than the original Rotonde Astrotourbillon.
