Another high complication, based on Cartier’s ID One concept watch from a few years ago, is the Rotonde de Cartier Astrotourbillon Carbon Crystal, with its anchor wheel and tourbillon bridge (and essentially, according to Cartier’s presenter, the entire escapement) made of carbon crystal.
There is also now a tourbillon (as well as a second-time-zone model) in Cartier’s Ballon Bleu collection, the Ballon Bleu Flying Tourbillon, with a partly skeletonized dial.
The ladies’ models this year all came under the umbrella theme of”Les Heures Fabuleuses” and once again, ornate animal themes were prevalent, including Cartier’s iconic panther as well as snakes, frogs, turtles, and, new this year, the mythological phoenix. Two models this year had decorative dial-side rotors in the shapes of a panther and phoenix.
