New Options for the Calibre de Cartier

Last year Cartier launched the Calibre de Cartier line powered by the brand’s in-house 1904-PS movement. The watch represented an important step for the brand. Despite the clearly sporty aesthetics, the Calibre de Cartier was available only on a strap. At SIHH 2011, a new and decidedly more sporting version debuted on a bracelet. Find pricing inside.

Calibre de Cartier, Now on a Bracelet

Last year Cartier launches the Calibre de Cartier line powered by the brand’s in-house 1904-PS movement. The watch represented an important step for the brand. Despite the clearly sporty aesthetics, the Calibre de Cartier was available only on a strap. At SIHH 2011, a new and decidedly more sporting version debuted on a bracelet.

The new models are available in stainless steel with black or silver dial, and in 18K rose gold and stainless steel with a silver dial. The bracelets feature wide polished center links and thinner brushed outer links with a deployant-style folding clasp. At 42mm x 10mm, the case dimensions have not changed. Water resistance is 30 meters.

As we go to press, only approximate U.S. pricing is available: steel version $7000; steel and gold $10,950

Ben Affleck Wears Calibre de Cartier for Opening of The Town

When Ben Affleck’s new film The Town premiered at Boston’s storied Fenway Park, the star (and writer/director) was wearing a Calibre de Cartier in stainless steel with white dial. Affleck’s crime thriller is set in Boston, and Fenway is his favorite ball park, so the non-traditional premier location makes sense.

New Manufacture Movement Powers Calibre de Cartier

At SIHH last week, Cartier introduced a new in-house automatic movement known as 1904-PS MC. It powers the new men’s Calibre de Cartier line. The movement features twin barrels to provide a steady flow of power to the escapement, and the regulation system allows for fine adjustment to increase timekeeping accuracy. A stop-seconds system facilitates synchronization to a reference signal.
