DESCRIPTION

  • SIHH 2014
    ELEGANCE & CREATIVITY


    Celebrating Cartier style in Fine Watchmaking is the Maison's creative approach for 2014. Style is a question of elegance and balance. It is the fountain-head of constant research, supported by technical expertise with a drive that redefines and questions watchmaking conventions by reinventing traditional complications such as the perpetual calendar or by transforming the timeless Tank model.
     
    Cartier's achievements in Fine Watchmaking are the fruit of a constantly innovative approach at the service of highly distinctive aesthetics. Its past as an inventor and designer has given rise to a style that favours volume and shapes. The same drive can be seen in the Maison's technical concepts: their freedom and importance have enabled Cartier to revolutionise the representation of time with Fine Watchmaking pieces that adhere to the Manufacture's highest standards.
     
    For this 2014 edition of the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie, Cartier expresses the excellence of its craftsmanship with the launch of innovative timepieces bearing the Maison's creative seal.

    CREATIVE ELEGANCE

    By paying homage to historic signature features such as the Rotonde de Cartier Day and Night complication or the Skeleton, the Maison places elegance at the heart of its approach to watchmaking. Cartier revisits this unique heritage with its wealth of emblematic aesthetic traits in new creative interpretations.
     
    Three iconic timepieces have been selected for this exercise in style: the Rotonde de Cartier Day and Night, a historic complication with geometric style, the Tank Louis Cartier Sapphire Skeleton and the Tank MC Two-tone Skeleton which celebrate the watchmaking art of skeletonisation and the Ballon Bleu de Cartier 39enamelling that is testament to precious expertise.

    Ballon Bleu de Cartier 39 mm Flying Tourbillon watch, enamel dial 
    Traditional expertise at the service of Fine Watchmaking

     
    The Ballon Bleu de Cartier 39 mm Flying Tourbillon watch with a blue enamel dial, elegantly celebrates the very essence of its name by elevating the colour blue to the status of an absolute value.  The omnipresent deep blue of the enamel dial affirms this timepiece's timeless signature trait. 
     
    A watchmaking classic 
     
    Since 2008, the Ballon Bleu de Cartier watch with a flying tourbillon calibre only existed in a 46 mm diameter version. In its new 39 mm size, the Ballon Bleu de Cartier Flying Tourbillon watch is defined by a unique elegance. 
     
    Its dimensions will appeal to men looking for a compact watch with a modern Tourbillon and which, in addition to its soft lines, is characterised by great comfort.
     
    Enamelling: precious expertise
     
    Boasting an exceptional dial in deep-blue enamel, The Ballon Bleu de Cartier 39 mm Flying Tourbillon watch with a blue enamel dial, follows in the tradition of dials and clocks crafted in enamel at the beginning of the 20th century. This craft involves first creating a radiating motif in guilloché on a disc of 18-carat white gold, which is then covered with several layers of translucent enamel.
     
    The enamel starts out as powder, the texture, composition and colour of which must be carefully chosen to ensure an even and pleasing appearance after firing. Control of the temperature during firing affects the entire process. This phase is all the more delicate because the dial has a large opening through which the flying tourbillon carriage is visible. Once it has cooled down, the dial displays a radiant interplay of matter and luminosity, between the transparency of the layer of enamel, the texture of the guilloché and the refinement its blue hue.
     
    The Ballon Bleu de Cartier 39 mm Flying Tourbillon watch is certified "Poinçon de Genève" Its calibre 9452 MC is assembled and adjusted in the Cartier workshops in the very heart of Geneva, according to the strictest criteria of excellence.
     
    Strictly for watch aficionados who will see it for the rare object it is, the Ballon Bleu de Cartier 39 mm Flying Tourbillon watch with a blue enamel dial, celebrates Cartier's unique style with elegance and creativity.
