Gents’ Watch of the Week: Cartier Calibre de Cartier

A relative newcomer to the field of ocular horology, the Calibre de Cartier family reinterprets the traditional rounded wristwatch with a brand new contemporary design that has made an instantly noticeable impact among watch enthusiasts. Whilst Cartier was a pioneer in the field of men’s wristwatches, their more recent reputation has perhaps been more oriented towards high status jewellery, yet if anything this additional expertise has only resulted in the aptitude of their designs becoming even more honed. Combining an actively masculine aesthetic with a celebrated degree of mechanical proficiency, this Cartier Calibre de Cartier watch is infused with character and fully equipped to excel in every conceivable area.

The Caliber de Cartier is instantly recognisable as a Cartier creation, with the omnipresent Roman numerals and luminescent rhodiumised-steel sword shaped hands favoured by this brand clearly evident upon the black dial. The 12 o’clock numeral has been considerably exaggerated in size, and this addition provides an ideal complement to the sub-second dial at the bottom of the face; ensuring that the aesthetics are gorgeously balanced. To add a further flavour of distinction, Cartier has also shaped the 3 o’clock situated date aperture to blend with the contours of the dial, and an outer ensemble of minute markers are present in a ‘railtrack’ design to lend an intriguing sense of intricacy.

On the right hand side of the timepiece lies a faceted crown that is strikingly surmounted by a domed sapphire crystal. This sits undoubtedly well against the monochrome theme adopted by the majority of this watches components. The crown also displays a synthetic spinel cabochon that is immediately synonymous with Cartier’s other work; and the semi-matt black double stitched alligator leather strap has also been lavished with all due care and attention. This strap fits perfectly around the wrist and also makes use of an innovative folding double adjustable deployment clasp that, despite its delicate appearance, is finely crafted to never fail during the course of duty.

All Calibre de Cartier watches house a Cartier in-house calibre 1904-PS MC movement to ensure optimal performance. This bi-directional winding movement measures only 25.6 mm in diameter and is a mere 4 mm in height. Despite these insubstantial measurements though, this mechanical marvel still comes with a 48 hour power reserve and unerringly cycles through 28,000 beats per hour. A sapphire crystal exhibition caseback is also in place to allow every shift in this mechanism to be observed, proving that, despite the timepiece’s eminent functionality, Cartier still hasn’t abandoned their unparalleled sense of flair.

The thickset 42 mm casing of this Cartier timepiece adheres to an attractively sporty form, and is water resistant to 30 metres to guard against accidental immersion.  Boasting a 2 year manufacturer’s warranty, this exceptional timepiece is guaranteed to remain in flawless working order no matter whether it is worn on the most flamboyant of occasions, or when it is called upon to add a touch of the extraordinary to an otherwise mundane situation. Refined to a perfect balance of excellence, this Calibre de Cartier is a worthy member of Cartier’s flagship collection.
