Impeccable Cartier novelties

At SIHH 2016 we had the opportunity to see the new Cartier collection, called Drive de Cartier...

This collection is inspired by the stylized lines, curves and characteristics of modern cars, and presents us bold Roman numerals, blue hands in the shape of a sword, guilloche dial and sapphire blue crown - all that we want to see in a watch which bears the signature of this esteemed house.

At the touch, these watches seem irresistible, and have a tactile appeal that is similar to that which was presented to the Ballon Bleu models. Drive de Cartier collection is built with cushion shaped body in focus, followed by domes of sapphire crystal.

References from the world of motoring are visible on numerous details, such as patterns of guilloche dials, which reminds us of the grille, the crown in the form of screws and small seconds counter, which is located at the position of six o’clock.

The case of this model is available in the version of 18-carat pink gold or steel, presenting us brass black, gray or white dial. Transparent back of the case gives us insight into the Cartier Manufacture mechanism MC 1904, which is available in two self-winding versions, while the final details consist of Cotes de Genève decoration on the bridges and oscillating weight, with polished heads of screws.

Waterproof to 30 meters, the new collection includes a refined version, the third mechanism that bears their signature. It is manually winding 9452 MC, who runs Drive de Cartier Flying Tourbillon watch, with Poinçon de Genève certificate.

As a true finishing touch, black or brown alligator leather strap with a buckle of pink gold or steel, gives this handsome the possibility to adorn your wrist and beautify your day every time you want to look at the time.
