| You can see the blued steel hands and luminous dots on the inner dial of Cartier Roadster. The sapphire date magnifier is tastefully integrated into the crown area. The crown is not screw down, so when you wind it you can just turn it.
The bracelet is a beautiful piece of work, with screwed in pins, in a very unique style. There are two screws, one on each side, and when you remove them, you push a pin out of the middle. The bracelet has that smooth, tight feel to it that reminds me of my Breitling watch Bracelets. The watch is all polished, but the bracelet is brushed in the middle links.
The obligatory wrist shot… Showing what it looks like on my 6 3/4" wrist. The bracelet sizes a bit loose on me. Unfortunately with those double butterfly clasps there is rarely a micro adjustment available, and many do not have half-links either. And here’s a rare movement shot of the Cartier Roadster. The rotor is decorated with the Roadster logo, which is a nice touch, rather than just a generic Cartier signed rotor, making this specific to only this model of watch.
With SIHH starting, there are tons of new models introduced. Some of the most notable in my opinion are the offerings from Cartier watch's new Manufacture In-House movement department. They have some new models out including the Cartier Caliber and The Cartier Rontondo Astro.
The Cartier Caliber Collection. Beautiful watches from Cartier with does a fine job of combining the signature Cartier look with new and modern looking cases and dials. 42mm and available in steel and gold. The Cartier Caliber 1904PSMC. Cartier's first completely in-house designed Automatic Movement.
The Cartier Rontondo Astro Tourbillon. In-house caliber 9451MC manual winding movement with Tourbillon complication. Some very nice pieces from Cartier for sure. Also a really neat looking piece that will obviously cost two arms and six legs from Panerai.
