Launched in 2006, the Cartier Ballon Bleu watches range offers a stylish timepiece for any purpose, with a wide range of case sizes and styles available for both ladies and gents. As official Cartier stockists, Banks Lyon can help you find the perfect piece for you within the Ballon Bleu de Cartier collection.
Cartier have long been producing extraordinary luxury watches, and their Ballon Bleu watches prove that this is still the case. The timepiece does not seem so unusual at first glance, but on more close inspection its remarkable qualities come to light. Both Cartier Ballon Bleu ladies and mens watches are available on 0% finance terms.
It is the shape of the watch that is most stunning: its roundness does not stop with the case, but it is also rounded on the dial side and case back, giving the timepiece a pebble-like appearance when viewed in profile. It may be assumed that the shape of these watches impedes on comfort, but quite the reverse is true. In fact, the shape gives the watch an intriguing attribute, as it appears to float above the wearer’s wrist. This marries well with the timepiece’s other striking feature, its sapphire cabochon decorating the crown and giving the collection its name. The blue is reflected in the traditional Cartier sword-shaped blue hands, giving the watch a sense of balance and design compatibility.
In addition to these features, the curvature of the crystal makes the Roman numerals distort slightly at different viewpoints, adding to the almost magical quality of the timepiece. The position of the crown and winding mechanism also serve to slightly displace the numerals, allowing them to stray a little from their customary path, and adding to the unusual effect. All these features make a Cartier Ballon Bleu watch a must-have for anyone looking to purchase a truly unusual timepiece.
In 1847, King Edward VII called Cartier “the king of jewellers and the jeweller to kings”, and this tradition continues to this day; Cartier timepieces are frequently seen upon the wrists of royalty, and Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, has been seen to sport a timepiece from the Cartier Ballon Bleu ladies watch range.

We are official stockists of Cartier Ballon Bleu watches here at Banks Lyon, which means our customers benefit from 100% authenticity and the manufacturer’s warranty. Your Cartier warranty covers a range of defects, but only if found to be defective due to a manufacturing fault. If this is the case, the watch can be repaired or replaced completely free. As standard, this warranty is 2 years for all Cartier Ballon Bleu models. However, if you register your watch with Cartier Care after purchase, you will benefit from 8 years of warranty.
There are many advantages to extending your warranty, including:
It also includes technical diagnostics and advice, should you need it. This technical diagnostic involves inspections to check precision, amplitude, and water resistance, for example, which makes sure that the watch is working optimally. The registration process is straightforward and will only take a few minutes of your time. Importantly, this registration is entirely free and does not require you to sign up for any additional services or make any payments. It is simply a way to enhance the protection of the watch you already own.
If you are struggling to register your watch or would like more information about your timepiece’s warranty, we are more than happy to help. We work closely with Cartier, and our team is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced in dealing with this luxury watchmaker.
Yes, at Banks Lyon, we offer flexible financing options for your luxury watch purchase. You can select from the following payment plans: To apply, simply select the ‘Pay by Finance’ option at checkout and complete a brief application. Approval is subject to status. Terms and conditions apply.
As standard, Cartier Ballon Bleu watches come in five different case sizes:
This gives you a wide scope of options to try on and find out which one looks and feels the most comfortable on your wrist. Typically, the smaller watches (anything up to 36mm) are catered to women, and the larger (40mm and above) are designed for men. However, it is entirely up to you which size you choose, regardless of your gender. Before trying on a watch, you can get a good idea of the best size for you by measuring your wrist. If you have a wrist size of around 15cm, anything around 33mm and below is most likely the best choice. For those with wrists around 17-19cm, you should opt for something around 36-40mm. And, if your wrist is 20cm or larger, then any Ballon Bleu watch that is 42mm should suit you best.
Another aspect to consider when selecting the size of your Ballon Bleu watch is the strap. Typically, the leather options are seen to be sleeker and slimmer, so if this is the style you want, opt for one of the leather strap watches. Similarly, stainless steel and other metals have a bulkier appearance, so choose this strap if this is what you would prefer.
Cartier Ballon Bleu watches are famous for their distinctive sapphire cabochon that adorns the crown, complemented by the rounded dial side. Some wearers may be concerned that this makes setting the time on these pieces more difficult, but this is not true. Setting the time on your Ballon Bleu timepiece is simple; all you must do is:
It is essential to ensure that the crown is pushed back in properly, as this keeps the watch water-resistant. If you are having trouble setting the time, or your Ballon Bleu watch is too fast, too slow, or has stopped entirely, we are here to help. Get in touch with our Cartier experts or book your timepiece for a service here at Banks Lyon.
