Cartier used Diamond-black ADLC coating to redefine two classic models of Santos De Cartier collection. Santos 100 Carbon and Balloon Bleu De Cartier Carbon show the black appearance, meanwhile those classic features created by the brand gain the further extension.

Cartier Santos 100 Carbon
A great number of people know about the history of Cartier Santos collection. The first men’s wristwatch created by Louis Cartier in 1904 was given to Albert Santos-Dumont, a Brazilian pilot. As time flies, the appearance of the style of the Santos collection never change a lot. Cartier marked the centenary of the watch with a new version, the Santos 100. New styles of the Santos 100 are designed to get rid of the stale and bring forth the fresh. It’s due to the distinctive shape design and a new in-house movement that the Santos 100 Carbon appears the different features from the rest.

At first glance, Cartier Santos 100 Carbon 2016 is similar to the Santos 100 ADLC released in 2009, but the old model has a nude bezel. It’s obvious that their dimensions are different by a comparison of the two models. Besides, the second hand of the new model is coated in red, bold and lifeful. Made of refined steel, the whole case is coated with ADLC (Amorphous Diamond-like Carbon), close to DLC. It’s a PACVD coating specifically developed for luxury and fashion goods. Its characteristic hardness and impact and scratch resistance combined with the noble black metallic look make the carbon watch stylish and modern. Close up, we see that the ADLC case boasts drawing process perfectly. The black calfskin strap extends from the large case, 51 mm x 41.3 mm. Thanks for curved lugs designed according to shapes of wrists, Cartier Santos 100 Carbon pressed around the wrist perfectly.

Cartier’s 1904-PS MC mechanical movement is an automatic mechanism – the watch is wound by kinetic energy, and the swing of your arm as you walk is enough to keep it ticking. It uses double barrels (most automatic watches traditionally have one), and this gives it a highly constant chronometre throughout the duration of the watch’s 48-hour power reserve. This means the watch will display time accurately and consistently for two days after you take it off your wrist, even though at that point it’s no longer getting wound by the movement of your arm. Solid craftsmanship makes the watch water proof up to 300 meters. You know, many of Cartier watches extends to 3 bar water resistance in the daily life.

Blue really fits to the diving watch theme. With blue calfskin and rubber strap, Calibre De Cartier Diver Blue Watch not only shows sporty style but also stands out chic dress style. With delicate case, appropriate size and reliable movement, The blue diver watch is an excellent timepiece.

Cartier fused advanced watchmaking technology with unique aesthetics to create an iconic timepiece-Rotonde de Cartier Minute Repeater Mysterious Double Tourbillon with an extraordinary movement which includes features of the mysterious movement and minute repeater. Rotonde de Cartier Minute Repeater Mysterious Double Tourbillon added a brilliant new chapter to the history of Cartier sophisticated timepieces. The clever combination of sophisticated functions and the round watch case of Rotonde de Cartier watches makes the watch be the good model in advanced watchmaking field.

The Rotonde de Cartier faced two serious challenges: Cartier Cal. 9407 MC that consists of 448 parts and the 11.15 mm-thick watch case challenge the technology; Black rhodium plated movement that sets off mysterious beauty of the double tourbillon and the rhythm of minute repeater mechanism reveal natural but unique aesthetics.

Mysterious Double Tourbillon
It was in 1912 that the first Cartier Mestery Clocks, Model A with a mysterious movement made its appearance.The double tourbillon originates from that classic timepiece. It seems that the floating tourbillon that rotates in a circle every 60 seconds doesn’t any connection with the movement. Sapphire crystal disc above the tourbillon spins in a circle every five minutes, mysterious and charming. The double tourbillon is arranged on the eccentric position of the sub-dial between 9 and 10 O’clock. The minute repeater mechanism was set at six O’clock, whose hour hammer and minute hammer show an iconic style of Cartier watchmaking.

Minute Repeater Mechanism
Equipped with manufacture mechanical movement with manual winding, Cal.9407 MC, Rotonde de Cartier Minute Repeater Mysterious Double Tourbillon brings unique hearing enjoyment.
*Intensity of Sound
To grow the intensity of timing, the weight of Rotonde de Cartier Minute Repeater Mysterious Double Tourbillon is reduced to minimum. First, Titanium watch case. Second, reasonable skeleton design for the dial helps the weight of the case reduce by 50g. Besides, four connecting points between the movement and the case and additional connecting points between the movement and the gong keep transmission of vibration. The big case for 45 mm supplies the best environment for increasing resonance chamber.
*Pitch
To create tuneful sounds, Cal. 9407 MC used B bassoon and D high gong to strike the hours and minutes. After minute repeater mechanism is started, the fly-wheel with a mute system at 7 O’clock guarantees the purity of sound.
*Timbre
The uniqueness of minute-repeating sound depends on the geometrical morphology and materials of the gong. Chilled-steel square section gong can express rich timbre, including eight kinds of harmonics.
*Length of Sound
Length of sound depends on the precision that the hammer hitting the gong. Square section gong can control the range of hitting of the hammer, hence the system is easy to maintain the consistency of each shot. The fly-wheel adjust the speed of which the hammer operates, so the tuneful sounds are guaranteed.

Born in 1917, the Cartier Tank opened its legend with a bold and innovative rectangle watch case. The case and the strap are utterly integrated, and the compact lines create precise shapes. Their free spirit and elegance make it not only a popular design, but also the darling of every generation of celebrities.

In 1994, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac autographed a picture of a Cartier Tank watch and wrote the sentence“If all the tanks are made by Cartier, we should have enjoyed world peace and lived a carefree life!”on Figaro Madame to pay highly tribute to the classic watch. According to the blueprint of the Renault Tank during the First World War, the lugs on both sides represent the track, and the case represents the tank cockpit. So far it has been for a hundred years in the watch industry. With the occasion of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Tank series in 2017, let us give you a complete review of the timelessness of this timepiece.

Experienced watch experts and the writer Franco Cologni appraised Louis-François Cartier, “Louis Cartier focused on the fusion of aesthetics and modernity. Put these two words aside, we can not understand the beginning of Cartier watches”. Although France was at war in 1917, I believe that he still embraced these two words calmly when when Mr. Cartier created the first Tank watch, or the Tank watch wouldn’t be loved by people in a century. If we say that the Santos watch opened the chapters and let Cartier watch brand be born in the watch history, then the advent of the Tank watch laid a solid foundation for Cartier, making Cartier watch collection grow in strength.

Creative Source
In the second half of 1916, the World War I settled into the stalemate. Louis Cartier was particularly concerned about the battle of the Somme and shocked by heroic deeds. He learned that new armored vehicles have been applied to the war in September and the war won victory time and again. He saw the armored vehicle-Le Tank from the L’Illustration. Hence, the Tank collection was inspired by it. With his keen intuition and the pursuit of aesthetics and technology, Louis finally created the TANK watch in 1917 and established his undoubted lofty status in the history of watchmaking. The Tank built a unique style among the rounded watch cases. The brand gifted several of the first Tank wristwatches to the General John Pershing and his subordinate officers after the victory of the World War I.

Tank Family
The biggest reason why the Tank keeps its high status is that it is a masterpiece of all the classic elements in one: radial Roman numeral hour markers, blued-steel hands, track-shaped minute scale, vertical lugs, beaded crown set with a sapphire cabochon. So far, the Tank has had six members: Tank Louis Cartier (Born in 1922), Tank Américane (Born in 1989), Tank Française (Born in 1996), Tank Solo (Born in 2004), Tank Anglaise (Born in 2012) and Tank MC (Born in 2013).

Celebrities and Tank Watches
Tank Cartier watch is regarded as a chic symbol by Gary Cooper, Andy Warhol, Madona, Catherine Deneuve and so on. It has been well known for simple style and harmonious lines since its birth. People prefer its unique style to its symbolic status.

To display the craftsmanship of a movement, many watch collections are designed with the transparent back to be appreciated carefully. We probably pay attention to blued-steel screws fixing the splint, those blued-steel screws are produced by fire to from oxidation. A methodology that requires mastery over fire by way of precisely controlling the flame’s intensity to achieve the ideal shade of blue-or beige with the use of cooler temperatures. Blue steel is formed at 300 degree centigrade. In the absence of stainless steel, the fire process was used to prevent screws rusting. To this day, blued-steel screws are used for beauty.

Ronde Louis Cartier XL Flamed gold
A life-like depiction of a panther was first engraved on the dial in 18K white gold to create “brushed” texture by fire. Ronde Louis Cartier XL Flamed gold, 30-piece limited edition, debuted at SIHH 2017. Ronde Louis Cartier XL Flamed gold, 42 mm, manufacture mechanical movement with manual winding, Cal. 430. Case in 18K white gold, a diamond-set beaded crown, flamed gold dial, white gold apple-shaped hour and minute hands, sapphire crystal, sapphire case back, strap in black alligator skin, ardillon buckle in 18K white gold. Water-resistant to 3 bar (approx. 30 meters).

How will it be if the technology of producing blued-steel screws is used on the dial? Ronde Louis Cartier XL Flamed gold is the best model. The vivid depiction of a panther on the dial seems to be painted with different colors at a glance. Close up, you will find that the real texture is different from the painted. The big cat’s eyes, prints, beard and brown hair are all finished into heating fire. The life-like result is the real testament to the unassailability of Cartier’s craftsmen. First, the craftsmen burns the whole dial into blue, then they scrape the surface of parts with tools and they burn the parts into brown, yellow or beige. Next, the process will be repeated again and again until the completed life-like depiction. Although the technology of transforming the color of the dial into gradient effect isn’t so complicated as the enamel paint, making every hair life-like is quite difficult, as well.

Drive de Cartier ‘Cartier d’Art’ Leopard
Drive de Cartier‘Cartier d’Art’ Leopard, 40 x 41 mm, manufacture mechanical movement with automatic winding, Cal. 1904 MC. Case and dial in 18K yellow gold, sword-shaped hour and minute hands, sapphire crystal and sapphire case back, strap in black alligator skin. Water-resistant to 3 bar (approx. 30 meters). It’s limited of 100 pieces.

In 2017, Cartier released many watch collections inspired by a panther with exquisite skills. The unique feature of Drive de Cartier‘Cartier d’Art’ Leopard is that the big cat is extended beyond the sapphire crystal, as if a picture got out of the frame. Close up, we can appreciate its vivid hair from the bezel to the dial. Black leopard prints reflect bright luster with enamel techniques.

Panthère Joueuse
Panthère Joueuse, 40 mm, manufacture mechanical movement with automatic winding, Cal. 9918 MC. Case in 18K white gold with diamonds, sapphire crystal and sapphire case back, strap in alligator skin. Water-resistant to 3 bar (approx. 30 meters).

The panther appears to emerge from the dial, intent on catching the ball that remains tantalisingly out of reach. Its head and paw play the role of the minute hand while the ball marks the passing hours. Making this an even more precious timepiece, the case and the strap attachments are set with brilliant-cut diamonds, with more brilliant-cut diamonds on the ball, as well as on the cat’s paw and head. Its eyes are two emeralds while its fur is spotted with lacquer.

Panthère Royale
Panthère Royale, 36 mm, quartz movement. Case in 18K white gold with brilliant-cut diamonds, sapphire crystal and sapphire case back, strap in alligator skin. Water-resistant to 3 bar (approx. 30 meters).

The Panthère Royale watch reigns supreme with a satin finished dial that twinkles with brilliant-cut diamonds. A sub-dial with hour and minute hands was designed at six six O’clock. A full-figure leopard standing on above the sub-dial is like the king. Arc curves with diamonds and sapphire crystal show a perfect look.

Cartier founded in 1847 has been top Jewelry and Wristwatch brand all around the world. Masterpieces from Cartier extend to now and give us endless surprises. There is no doubt that Panthère de Cartier collection is the signature series among a great number of products.

It’s a long history about Panthère de Cartier. In order to seek inspiration, Jeanne Toussaint went to explore the American jungle along with Louis Joseph, the third generation of Cartier SA. They never expected that they came under attack by American panthers. Fortunately, they were out od the woods finally. Then they were in love with each other. Due to Louis Joseph’s married status, they suffered a lot. That Louis Joseph lost his life in a car accident left a wordless end for their love. It came as Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson would marry, Duke of Windsor expected Cartier to design a jewel for Wallis Simpson. Jeanne Toussaint created a Panther brooch from her unforgettable experience. It’s the Panther brooch that opened the beginning of Panthère de Cartier collection.

As the most beautiful animal in Cartier world, the American panther inspires designers excellent works. Besides, Ronde Louis Cartier collection and Panthère Joueuse collection gain much inspiration. Panthère de Cartier collection inherits the classic styles-delicate and exquisite features from 1983. Through those timepieces within American panthers, Cartier describes the amazing integration of natural light and view, and the wisdom of teams and high end craftsmanship spreads out before us.

Born in 1983, Panthère de Cartier isn’t visualised to embody the feature of the American panther. Chain links under the light and shadow show virtualized leopard prints. With square watch case and stretched lugs, Panthère de Cartier is quite similar to Santos De Cartier, but its long flexible bracelet with many links express its uniqueness fully. It was the main series as soon as it made its debut, and it faded away until 200 in the market. Pierce Brosnan once wore a Panthère de Cartier watch. Panthère de Cartier reappeared at SIHH 2017. It was studied carefully and found that its all designs were the same as the original, such as the case shape, the bracelet, the octagonal crown set with a faceted synthetic spinel, eight screws on the bezel, Roman numerals and track scales. Even CARTIER is kept well in the X hour marker. Available in 18K yellow gold, white gold, pink gold, yellow gold and steel edition, diamond edition or steel version.

Besides, Panthère de Cartier white gold & diamond watch (No. 2) was decorated with distinctive but vivid leopard prints with an enamel technology. Another Panthère de Cartier pink gold watch (No. 1) was created with irregular leopard prints on the case, the dial and the bracelet with black lacquer, as if the soul of the panther was fused into the perfect timepiece.

Cartier, which has a long history of more than one hundred and fifty years, is a famous manufacturer of jewelry from France. Jewelry and wristwatches made from Cartier have been masterpieces that celebrities and famous stars want. Cartier has created lots of works with extraordinary creativity and high end craftsmanship. Cartier leads the fashion trend in the watchmaking, like the wind vane. It’s good at fusing the classic watch case with classical elements, showing unique fashion flavor. Drive De Cartier watch has left a deep impression on the public and been another classic series since it made its debut at SIHH 2016.

The New Drive de Cartier is inspired by the dashboard of the antique car. Some series of many famous watch brands borrow some elements from antique cars or cars, but Drive De Cartier stands out from the competition. Here Drive De Cartier watch WSNM0004 is introduced, decent and elegant.

Cushion-shaped Case and Aliigator Skin Strap
The sleek lines of the cushion-shaped watch for 40 mm(length) * 41 mm (width)case create fashion flavor. Blued-steel sword-shaped hour and minute hands go around the Silvered flinqué dial elegantly. Calendar aperture at three O’clock, small seconds counter at six O’clock and vintage Roman numerals show the beauty of fashion and classic beauty. The small seconds counter is decorated with ring patterns, showing the delicate craftsmanship. Semi-matte brushed sides of the steel watch case. Rounded steel lugs connecting to the exquisite case look smart, fine and suitable for the men’s wrists. The octagonal steel crown set with a faceted synthetic spinel sets off elegant and powerful charm, and the spinel reveals good taste. The new watch case is equipped with the leather strap. Comparing with the steel bracelet, black semi-matte alligator skin strap with 18 mm steel double adjustable folding buckle brings wearers light and comfortable wearing experience.

Cartier’s Cal. 1904-PS MC Mechanical Movement
After years of refinement, the movements made from Cartier’s workshops in La Chaux-de-Fonds have matured. In honour of the first Cartier Santos watch, the movement which was based on ETA 2892-A2 was named as Cartier Cal. 1904 MC. As one of in-house movements, Cal. 1904 MC launched in 2010 has been the mainest basic in-house movement. With polishing process, the modified Cal. 1904-PS MC is seen perfectly throughout the sapphire crystal. Cartier’s 1904-PS MC mechanical movement is an automatic mechanism – the watch is wound by kinetic energy, and the swing of your arm as you walk is enough to keep it ticking. It uses double barrels (most automatic watches traditionally have one), and this gives it a highly constant chronometre throughout the duration of the watch’s 48-hour power reserve. This means the watch will display time accurately and consistently for two days after you take it off your wrist, even though at that point it’s no longer getting wound by the movement of your arm. Water resistant to 3 bars / 30 meters, so the wearers protect your watches away from diving, bath or saunas.

At SIHH 2018, Cartier continues advanced new aesthetics in watchmaking. The combination of excelsior spirit and breakthrough innovations embodies two sides: One is the exquisite and delicate skeleton movement; the other is the light and mysterious movement.

Skeleton and mystery clever collocation sets off the sense of beauty of the iconic movements and creates masterpieces with multiple processes. As a good model of Cartier watchmaking technology, the mysterious movement was born in 1912. It’s the result of the joint efforts of Louis Cartier and Maurice Coüet (a great watchmaker) . Equipped with the mysterious movement, the first Cartier table clock was named Model A, whose inspiration came from Jean-Eugène Robert-Houdin, the father of modern magic. In honour of the classic mysterious movement, Cartier launched three new works in this tear: Rotonde de Cartier Mysterious Double Tourbillon, Rotonde de Cartier Mysterious Day & Night and Santos De Cartier Skeleton in pink gold.
