Cartier Rotonde de Cartier

No, it’s not a Tank. And yes, it deserves your attention!

While Parisian jeweler to the stars Cartier may be best known in horological circles for its famed Tank watch, the French firmproduced — and continues to produce — numerous other watch models that deserve equal billing for their unique and sumptuous designs.

This piece has to be one of the most unique in the collections: a Rotonde de Cartierwith a jump hour mechanism. Housed in a 42mm 18K rose gold case and powered by the Cal. 9905 MC hand wound movement, this piece flaunts a lovely gray guilloche dial with a hour window at 12, and rotating minute pointer.

Alternative displays aren't one of the complications that Cartier typically works on, so seeing this piece is truly unique. Witnessing the brand's integration of unique timekeeping into a classic Cartier package is incredibly notable.
