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.
Calibre de Cartier flying tourbillon watchThe flying tourbillon timepiece immediately makes its mark as a watch of character. The XII numeral on the dial is enlarged, making it the powerful aesthetic signature of this new creation from the Cartier Manufacture.Powerful, robust, and refined, this version of the watch is equipped with an exceptional flying tourbillon: the calibre 9452 MC with the Geneva Seal. The mechanical Manufacture movement with manual winding contains 142 components including 19 jewels. It is driven by the flying tourbillon whose C-shaped carriage indicates the seconds. With a thickness of 4.5 mm and a diameter of 10 3⁄4 lines, this calibre beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour and has a power reserve of 50 hours.Whereas a traditional tourbillon carriage is carefully protected between the bridges and main plate, the flying tourbillon of the watch has been designed to enhance its visual appeal. It almost seems to float on the bridges, as if hovering weightlessly above the dial, which gives it greater exposure to shocks that could disturb its operation. This aesthetic choice is technically risky and requires the master watchmakers to pay particular attention to the design of the tourbillon carriage to ensure that it benefits from the same level of shock resistance as a traditional tourbillon.
