Cartier Rotonde de Cartier Mysterious Hour White Gold

The Cartier Rotonde de Cartier Astrotourbillon W1556224 is a groundbreaking creation that redefines the traditional tourbillon. Encased in 47mm of 18k white gold, this timepiece houses the Cartier Caliber 9451 MC, a manually wound movement that powers the unique Astrotourbillon complication. Unlike a conventional tourbillon, where the balance wheel rotates within its cage, the Astrotourbillon completes a full orbit around the dial in 60 seconds, creating a mesmerizing celestial effect. The skeletonized dial integrates the oversized Roman numerals into the movement’s bridges, offering a bold and modern aesthetic. Blued steel sword-shaped hands provide excellent contrast against the open-worked design. A fluted crown, adorned with a blue sapphire cabochon, completes the signature Cartier look. The watch is paired with a black alligator leather strap, secured by an 18k white gold deployant clasp. A sapphire crystal protects the dial, while the watch is water-resistant up to 30 meters. This Rotonde model is an exceptional statement piece, showcasing Cartier’s dedication to innovation and fine craftsmanship.
