Rotonde de Cartier Cadran Lové Tourbillon watch, calibre 9458 MC, Geneva Seal: immobile translation
Every Cartier creation is naturally expected to be a symbol of style. The refined lines of the case of the Rotonde de Cartier Cadran Lové Tourbillon watch provided its visionary designers with an ideal environment in which to transform the mechanical systems that they were destined to contain.
Challenge is at the heart of the master watchmaker’s craft, and to focus one’s attention on a minimalist tourbillon movement and a subtly off-centre display is to mark out a style in which the essence of tradition can take on a truly modern dimension. Approaching the dial as the ideal space in which to develop their imaginative powers, watch designers offer the observer an inspired interpretation of the measurement of time, in which three distinct parts form a harmonious whole.
The dance of the hours
The surface of the watch’s case back is worked by skilled craftsmen with an elegant guilloché treatment before being given a slate-coloured galvanised finish. The starting-point is thus laid for a timepiece that one already senses is destined to be a model of refinement. Spreading across this background surface, a sculpted form shaped like a crescent moon unfurls its elegant openwork of Roman numerals cut out of the white gold.
Whirling around in an off-centre area slightly to the right, the workings of the hands make their dance more comprehensible by arousing in the observer the sentiment that something strange is taking place. A flange moves the expected framework of Roman numerals to one side. The sword-shaped hands in blued steel are shifted slightly to the right, drawing closer to the winding crown in white gold set with a sapphire cabochon.
The art of letting oneself be seen
Around these markers that measure the passage of the days by their regular rotation, the gear-train is openly visible, so that the observer, constantly astonished by such refinement and precision, can appreciate their delicate whirling. This rotation, regulated by the manual-winding calibre with the reference 9458 MC, has a conductor whose performance must never be upstaged. For in this almost fractal assembly of circles large and small, only the flying tourbillon, with the “C” for Cartier playing the role of direct-drive hand, gives the visual impression of being powered by a movement. In this refined configuration in which nothing seems to be capable of stopping it and everything contributes to concentrating all attention on it, this refined feature finds an environment in which, observed from all sides, it is at last truly free to reveal to just what extent the art of pure mechanics can be enhanced by the magic of the watchmaker’s expertise.
Mastery of weightlessness
This new flying tourbillon calibre, painstakingly developed in the Manufacture Cartier workshops, displays all the symbols of a rich and constantly renewed watchmaking heritage.
This exceptional tourbillon mechanism, powered by the oscillations of the 9458 MC calibre, certified with the Geneva Seal, operates the heart of this 46 mm Rotonde de Cartier watch, a veritable spokesman for the world of fine watchmaking.
Instead of fitting the tourbillon carriage in the traditional manner, nestled safely between the bridges and the plate of the movement, the flying tourbillon in this watch has been designed to enhance its aesthetic appeal. The tourbillon carriage indeed appears to “fly” over the bridges, suspended weightless above the dial, leaving it particularly exposed to shocks and the risk of destabilising the balance. In view of the technically delicate nature of this embellished structure, master watchmakers have had to pay very particular attention to the design of the tourbillon carriage.
By inverting the tourbillon mechanism of this classic calibre, Cartier chooses to reveal to the eye what so often remains hidden. As for all fine watchmaking movements, the component parts making up this mechanical movement with manual winding, equipped with a 50-hour power reserve and bearing the reference 9458 MC, are all hand-finished. The same is also true for the Geneva stripes on the back of the plate and which are visible through the transparent back of the case that is proposed exclusively in white gold.
In this timepiece, all aspects of the finish comply with the requirements making it possible to have affixed to one of its bridges the Geneva Seal, the certification of skilled work conducted in respect of watchmaking tradition: thus, the bridges are bevelled, the flanks are drawn and the screw-heads are polished.
Each model is assembled by a single watchmaker and individually numbered in an edition of 100 models in white gold and 20 models in white gold set with baguette-cut diamonds.
