The Ballon Bleu de Cartier is a watch that’s said to traverse boundaries with its unique design and aesthetic. The rounded case and back gives the watch a rounded, almost pebble like quality. When it sits on the wrist the watch appears to float above the surface of the skin because of this convex back.
A flwaless, smooth and rounded design
With such astonishing design qualities, the Ladies Cartier Ballon Bleu is a sight to behold because it features all the tell tale signs of a classic Cartier, a highly respected watch maker that manages to effortlessly step between a stylish masculinity and a sophisticated feminine aesthetic. The blue hands and sapphire cabochon of Cartier compliment a ladies watch so well that it’s hard to remember that it works equally effectively on the male version.
The Ladies model of the Ballon Bleu is available in a remarkably small size. The case has a diameter of 28.6 mm, which is a size that is so small that this watch will actually stand out in comparison to regularly sized models because the look is unique in shape and size. In comparison to the other luxury watches on the market at the moment, this watch is very small, but that’s precisely what adds to its irreducible charm.
In recent years, female watch aficionados have been flexing their commercial muscles and have encouraged many major watch manufacturers to take them as a serious part of the watch collecting market. It is a positive step to see a major model release like the Ballon Bleu that traverses the gender barrier so perfectly. The benefit of large manufacturers addressing this female consumer base is that we benefit from more gorgeous and largely gender neutral designs like the Ballon Bleu de Cartier. Models in this style are creating a new wave of sophistication in the luxury watch market.
