The Ballon Bleu de Cartier tourbillon with double jumping second time zone watch has been designed like a regulator. With its central minute hand and its two jumping hour counters – one for local time and the other for starting-point time, it revolutionises the world of travellers’ watches. It is a subtle yet complex masterpiece of balance, stamped with the Geneva Seal, that makes its transparency into a game for knowledgeable watch lovers as it enables them to discover the details of its fascinating, moving mechanism.

Balance born of symmetry
When looking at the watch in the hand before putting it on the wrist, the face and transparent back of the Ballon Blue de Cartier tourbillon with double jumping second time zone watch reveal a piece of true kinetic sculpture.

The second, controlled by the push button set into the case at 10 o’clock, indicates the local time.

This original modular complication, which is incredibly useful for aesthetes who enjoy long-distance travel, possesses a rare charm. Watch lovers will observe the watch for hours on end, noting the slow movement of the levers that control the jumping hours through the openwork dial.
