SIHH 2014: Cartier, the full report

 
 By: foversta : February 1st, 2014-14:46
As expected, Cartier was one of the most active and creative brands of the 2014 SIHH. It is not a surprise since Cartier has followed this trend for several years. Frankly speaking, who could imagine in 2006 that within 8 years, Cartier would become a ver...  

That Toucan Watch Looks Good On You!

That's interesting that the falcon dial is a MOP dial. I'm sure there's a shimmer on the falcon that has to be seen to be appreciated!

Thanks Patrick! Even if I love animals...

I think that I will stay with the Tank Louis Cartier or the Rotonde Day & Night! The Toucan will find a more appropriate wrist than mine! ;) Fx

Excellent report as always

Great reporting Fx. I am glad to see the MC Skeleton in pink with two tone movement. Certainly very tempting. I love the backside of the Earth and Moon. I notice the relative lack of the use of Limited Editions. And have they dropped Collection Privee? An... 

Cartier has redesigned several years ago the structure of the collection

When it comes to Men's watches, you have 9 collections: Ballon Bleu Tank Calibre Santos Rotonde Ronde Ronde Solo Tortue Pasha You can find the spirit of the collection privée in some watches of these collections but it is not a stand alone collection anym... 

Thanks! And a question

Thanks for this report! Some really interesting stuff going on here, design-wise. I'm not sure if I'm a fan on Cartier's movement finishing style but that's a matter of taste, and I'm very impressed overall. One thing - I noticed that the case backs of th... 

Good question...

To improve the security? To be obliged to send the watch back to an authorized workshop in case of trouble? I don't know. I will ask and I will come back to you! Thanks for your input! Fx

Hahaha! I hadn't thought of...

Hahaha! I hadn't thought of those, in fact...well do let us know, now I'm really curious! Best E. On 2 Feb, 2014, at 18:46, www watchprosite < [Email address suppressed for privacy] > wrote:

Super report, Fx. The Louis Cartier is exquisite!

The size is good, the movement is a marvel the whle concept is to die for. When I think Cartier, this is exactly what I have in mind. E.X.Q.U.I.S.I.T.E. Bravo, Cartier. Best, Nicolas

Yes, I agree with you.

This Tank Louis Cartier belongs to my selection of the top watches of the Salon. Close to perfection! Thanks for your comments! Fx

Magical animation of Cartier Rotonde Earth & Moon

 
 By: MTF : February 2nd, 2014-04:13
On demand moon phase display that requires the user's interaction....the humanity! Enjoy. MTF ...  

Intereaction is a very important trend in the high end segment...

 
 By: foversta : February 2nd, 2014-12:17
I love this ability to be an active player with the watch I own. Urwerk uses a lot this concept and this Earth and Moon is another nice example. Thanks Melvyn for the animation! Fx

I hope I'm not the only one...

Who likes the Ballon Bleu Flying Tourbillon with blue enamel dial. And the one with classic dial is not bad at all. I could stare at this watch all day long… It's so simple and complex in the same time… 39mm is perfect for the size of the movement. I real... 

Thanks Constantin!

 
 By: foversta : February 2nd, 2014-12:18
The 39mm size totally changes the balance. The Tourbillon becomes more present and I think it is a nice idea. I don't even mention the elegance of the blue dial version on the wrist. A true beauty! Thanks for your message! Fx

Time to refresh our memories.

FX has been teasing us with so many Cartier beauties and enquiring minds what to know more. Bill
