The Rotonde de Cartier Astrotourbillon released in 2012 is a horological masterpiece driven by ingenuity and unique materials, the result, a true spectacle to admire. Cased in a fusion of niobium-titanium alloys, the model breaks tradition from the classical tourbillon where the mechanism rotates around its own axis. To exhibit an eccentric stellar viewing experience for watch connoisseurs, the Rotonde de Cartier Astrotourbillon operates on a special rotational axis, for it is positioned at the center of the movement. The complication also has an innovative carbon crystal tourbillon carriage and escapement that requires no regulation or lubrification. Visually striking, the tourbillon rotates on an elegant sunburst grey backdrop with a one-minute regulation with fluidity. The concentric design of the dial further adds an attractive dimension to this already remarkable timepiece. From the outer seconds track to the sunken inner large Roman numerals ring, and finally the proud display of the open-work movement, the timepiece presents true class of a gentlemen.

Limited to 50 pieces, the present timepiece is numbered 8, and is offered in an attractive condition from its original owner. Charmed by style and elegance, the present example takes shape of Cartier’s signature aesthetic of clean lines, radical design and ingenuity.

Cartier

French

With the Constitution of 1848 came a new standard for luxury in France. Founded one year prior by Louis-Francois Cartier, the house of Cartier was one of the first to use platinum in jewelry making. This incredibly expensive material became the stepping-stone for Cartier to experiment in form, mechanisms and attitude. It helped men move from pocket watches to wristwatches, effectively making the watch much more functional and prominent in a man's overall wardrobe.

Cartier did not only touch on functionality. Inspired by a commissioned painting by George Barbier featuring a black panther at the feet of an elegantly bejeweled woman, Cartier began incorporating wild animals in his designs—most notably, Cartier Panthère rings, bangle bracelets and watches. Yet it wasn't until the late 1960s that the house of Cartier debuted their iconic yellow and rose gold LOVE collection, which includes the famous bracelet that only a special screwdriver can open.
