This Watch

We have here a Cartier Ronde with a rare and interesting cream dial and gilt Roman numerals.  The way the numerals are arranged is like a spider's web, hence the nickname for these coveted dials.  The larger Roman numerals sit around a gold-coloured disc as if they had been delicately laid on top of the dial in a single piece and this creates a sense of symmetry.  The dial is otherwise elegantly simple.  Steel blue hour and minute hands in the centre, 'Must de Cartier' at 12 o'clock and the famous Cartier logo at 6 o'clock - why would you need anything else!  We particularly love the trademark cabochon winding crown and the articulated, Vendôme lugs which add an extra touch of elegance and sophistication at a great price.

The vermeil case, also known as silver gilt, or gold-plated sterling silver, measures 30mm and is a very comfortable wear on the wrist.  Inside the case is the Swiss quartz caliber, fully serviced by us and running strongly.  We've paired this watch on a brown strap and kept its original gold-tone Cartier buckle.  The watch comes with our plain presentation box.

 

Extra Points 

We love Cartier here at AWC.  It is a brand that offers timeless elegance across all of its watches, yet never fails to produce a variety of adaptations in its classic designs.  A designer first and watchmakers second, this piece is a perfect representation of the world-famous house.
