I handled the rose gold verision in La Chaux de Fonds....
just last week, which I was told suffers a 5 decibel decrease in sound level compared with the titanium watch. Even so, I was impressed by the watch, as the repeater could be clearly heard in a room with conversations going on in the background. Also, there are only 50 pieces in each of rose gold and titanium.
It was absolutely brilliant to "invert" the movement so that one can see the racks working their magic through the sapphire crystal case back.
I REALLY like this watch, and think it is a good value.

Cartier Rotonde Minute Repeater Flying Tourbillon Experience
The working sample landed here and I had an opportunity to handle and listen. In short, this is a great watch. I like it - despite the size says 45mm, it doesn't wear that big. Sure, a bit thick, but I could live with it. One thing I am a bit uncomfortabl...
This is an outstanding watch
Mechanically and in terms of finishing this is an outstanding watch. In terms of execution it could be a bit smaller and sans tourbillon, but the repeater is a superb achievement. People may not recognise it now but this moves Cartier up significantly in ...
Amazing watch
Hi Ken, Thank you for your report. This is an amazing watch (I saw it in Geneva), even if it is too large for my taste, and definitely not the kind of watch I'm expecting from Cartier! Best Dje

I agree
Technically this is impressive and while the absolute price is still a lot of money, the price is fair relative to competition. This really put Cartier on a whole new level. - SJX
Interesting piece Ken..
Surprisingly, it doesn't look too big on your wrist at 45mm. I suppose the pusher ensures the correct force necessary to power the MR but it does look like it requires a bit of effort. Thanks for sharing! fernando
When I handled the watch.....
I found that I prefer this button activation over the standard slide as is found on most repeating watches, where my grip is not always secure. Bill
