Cartier W7100041 “Calibre De Cartier”

The Calibre De Cartier’s powerful lines, robust case, and novel structure all come together to create a watch with a strongly defined character. The round case, measuring 42 mm in diameter, is heightened by a bezel and extended by four curved horns set precisely into the cylindrical case middle. Its refined silhouette is punctuated by a polished, satin-brushed double shoulder, which protects the sides of the crown from any impacts that could affect its operation. The bezel that embellishes the case also plays on contrasts: smooth and polished on the exterior, a 28 degree freefall towards the dial culminates in a fluted ring marked with 120 notches. The dial is dominated by an extra-large XII figure in subtle relief. A transparent sapphire crystal case back reveals the calibre 1904 MC, the first self-winding movement to be produced entirely by Cartier. This completely unworn watch was manufactured in 2012, cementing its status as a truly vintage piece.
