Known as the filigree, this is a method in goldsmithing where wires of silver or gold are fused together side by side to form an open grid in a desired design. Created from exquisitely detailed gold openwork, a fine lace-like look is achieved. This intricately designed Ronde Louis Cartier Filigree Watch was made from Cartier’s new Maison des Métiers d’Art, that is based in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Cartier has upped their game in the watchmaking industry with the Rontonde de Cartier Astrotourbillon Skeleton Watch that comes in 18 karat white gold and black alligator strap. The Astrotourbillon has achieved the fine ability to not only keep better timekeeping with the reduction of the effects of gravity but also able to move in a complete circle of the dial, all in a minute. This aesthetic wonderment forms the structural bridge between Cartier’s signature numerals, producing a floating look and feel to the timepiece.ĭerived from the ID One and ID Two concepts of innovating watches with performance materials, the use of carbon crystal used in the Astrotourbillon is the first of its kind to be released as a Cartier movement. Its pure transparency of technical clockwork form, and seeing the Calibre 9461 MC movement’s main plate anchored to the casing via the Cartier signature roman numerals of XII and VI, is pure genius. What may look like something that was made from outer space, the Rontonde de Cartier Astrotourbillon Skeleton Watch had my eyes locked in at first sight. Who knows, maybe having this watch, which is limited to only 30 pieces, can make you forget the despair of the unstoppable flow of time for a while.Rotonde de Cartier Astrotourbillon Skeleton Watch Calibre 9461 MC With the Rotonde De Cartier Astrotourbillon, instead of controlling time, you prefer to be caught up in its flow and let it transform the task of displaying time into a complete show. Contrary to what was seen, the strap is replaced by the notches on the pins, not by the screws on the sides of the case. The model comes on a matt gray alligator strap and a characteristic Cartier style 18K pink gold folding clasp.

The movement, behind the skeleton dial hosting only 12 and 6 markers with Roman numerals, features an hour and a minute hand as well as a tourbillon balance cage that completes one full turn per minute. The hand-wound caliber, which measures 40.1mm x 8.89mm, consists of 233 pieces, has 23 jewels, operates at 21600vph, and has a 52-hour power reserve when fully wound. The model beats with the manufacture movement Caliber 9461 MC. Thanks to the compact design of the lugs, the comfort level has increased unexpectedly for a 47mm watch. A blue sapphire adorns the winding crown as a Cartier classic. The case is equipped with sapphire crystals on both sides and is water-resistant to 30 meters.
Long story short, the show factor of this watch is unquestionably high. Astrotourbillon attracts attention not only with its engineering details but also with its splendor. Now let's put them all aside because the model standing before us has rolled up its sleeves to break the routine.Īstrotourbillon, the highly complicated version of the Rotonde De Cartier family, has a 47mm x 14.9mm case made of 18K rose gold. Cartier, the French jewelry and luxury products giant, is a brand that has managed to fit many legendary timepieces in its 170-year history.
