Cartier Ballon Bleu de Cartier

Ballon Bleu de Cartier - the endless pursuit of harmony Striking the perfect balance between line and volume Encased in steel with a 36mm case and an interchangeable steel bracelet Blued-steel sword-shaped hands move gracefully across the silvered guilloche dial A self-winding mechanical movement promises reliability and a 37-hour power reserve THE ENDLESS PURSUIT OF HARMONY The Ballon Bleu de Cartier was launched in 2007 and rapidly became a resounding success. Subverting watchmaking rules and created from a new vision of roundness, the collection's double convex silhouette strikes the perfect balance between line and volume. A blue sapphire cabochon is set within the seamlessly integrated winding crown, creating the appearance of a floating blue balloon, or Ballon Bleu. The crown cap sits under a metal hoop at three o'clock, protecting the blue bubble and avoiding any breaking of the line. AN ELEGANT SILHOUETTE Characterised by its precise shapes, pure lines, and perfect proportions, this charming timepiece is encased in steel with a 36mm case with a unique convex pebble shape inspired by a new vision of roundness. The silvered guilloche dial provides an elegant backdrop for the collection's signature blued-steel sword-shaped hands and Roman numeral hour markers. A self- winding mechanical movement ensures power and precision, while an interchangeable steel bracelet delivers comfort and sophistication on the wrist.
