In 2010, Cartier unveiled the Calibre de Cartier, simply named to celebrate the firm’s new triumph in watchmaking, it is fitted with the first automatic in-house movement cal. 1904 MC, which pays homage to the very birth year of the firm’s first wristwatch for Alberto Santos Dumont. The present example in stainless steel strikes a perfect balance between power and finesse. Measuring at a robust 45mm diameter, the stunning black dial bears signature design codes of Cartier such the Roman numerals with the discrete logo at 11 o’clock. Dominated with masculine presence, the oversized XII numeral shines harmoniously with the mirrored polish center second ring. Adding attraction to the timepiece is the hexagon crown decorated with a sapphire cabochon. Handsome in proportions, spectators can also admire the movement from its sapphire case back. Furthermore, the present example is offered in excellent condition from its original owner.
