Highlights from the Cartier Presentation at the SIHH 2013.

Cartier’s Mystery Tourbillon –in the grand tradition of the famous mystery clocks.  It’s actually a double tourbillon –the sapphire mystery disk carries the inner tourbillon carriage.

 

The lovely Double Jumping Second Time Zone.  Regulator style hands; two jumping hour indications for home and local time; tourbillon; with double city disk system for setting the second time zone (a la last year’s Calibre Multi Time Zone.)

 

Falcon Metiers d’Art wristwatch in grand feu enamel

Enamel dials are big at Cartier this year –the fine watchmaking decorative arts are well represented (in addition to the technically sophisticated new pieces in the fine watchmaking collection)

 

And, Cartier brings back one of its most famous designs, the legendary and notorious “Crash” watch.

 

Hope you enjoyed this quick look at just a few of the great new watches from Cartier this year –one of the strongest new collections at the SIHH and probably one of the strongest from any major player in the watch world in 2013 (though the year is young, I would be comfortable betting we’ll still feel that way in December.)
