As one of Cartier’s most iconic models, the Ballon Bleu has gained exceptional popularity since its release in 2007. Available in a range of models, both modern and traditional, it exists as one of the most elegant time pieces for both men and women. Its simple and classic design is exemplary of fine craftsmanship as both a watch and as a piece of jewellery, worn on the wrists of many celebrities including Kate Middleton and Johnny Depp.
The Ballon Bleu’s most unique feature is literally, the Ballon Bleu or ‘blue ball’ which nestles neatly on the right of the face. As well as the silvered opaline and sapphire dial which appear on all Ballon Bleu models, another distinct feature of the piece is the way it’s shaped; almost like a pebble, rounded on both the top and bottom side of the watch, which provides a sleek finish and the ultimate comfort. The way the piece sits on the wrist almost looks as if it’s floating with its rounded case shape, making a truly unique watch for buyers who are looking for something out of the ordinary.
