DESCRIPTION
Watches in the Fine Watchmaking Collection
Driven by a rush of creative energy since the 2008 SIHH, Cartier is pursuing its watchmaking ideal at the 20th edition of the SIHH with the presentation of five new fine watchmaking movements and nine new models.
This challenge, which calls for technical and aesthetic creativity and exceptional expertise, has resulted in a range of movements that are as rare as they are spectacular: the Astrotourbillon movement, the Geneva Seal skeleton tourbillon, the perpetual calendar, and, lastly, the flying tourbillon.
Drawing on the skills and excellence of its master watchmakers and designers, this year Cartier once again demonstrates that it is a genuine creator of fine watchmaking marvels.
Tortue perpetual calendar watch Calibre 9422 MCIn this first self-winding perpetual calendar movement to be created by the Manufacture, two characteristics demonstrate the astonishing creativity of Cartier: the optimised legibility of the day and date functions and the originality of the perpetual calendar display.
These features, unique to the 9422 MC movement, can be viewed through an impressive open- work dial: the days of the week are indicated by a retrograde hand, the date is shown in large figures around it, and the month and year counter is located at 12 o’clock.
A superb achievement in fine watchmaking that runs with exquisitely crafted details and echoes the timeless form of the Tortue watch – one of the great Cartier shaped watches designed in 1912. During the 1920s, it became a legendary example of complication watchmaking by Cartier.
