cartier francaise ladies watch replica

One of the most intriguing watches created by Cartier thus far is the new Ballon Bleu Tourbillon. The Ballon Bleu Tourbillon is Cartier's first that incorporates the brand's new 9452MC tourbillon movement, which bears the Geneva Seal hallmark. The 9452MC movement is mechanical with manual winding, it is comprised of 142 hand-finished parts and 19 jewels and has a power reserve is 50 hours.The Cartier Ballon Bleu gets its name from the sapphire cabochon crown which is incorporated into its rounded case and this version is no exception. It is crafted from 18K pink gold, and it measures 46mm across which makes it larger than even the Grand Modele Ballon Bleu which is only 42mm in diameter. The watch also features sapphire crystal on the face as well as the transparent case-back of the watch. The dial has a three-dimensional guilloche silvered look with sun-ray open-worked grid. The watch has Roman numeral markers and sword-shaped, blued-steel hands. The tourbillon carriage is positioned in an untraditional way so that appears to float freely above the dial adding to the already impressive design..

Cartier Tourbillon and Crocodile Calibre 9458 MCThe French jeweler will soon officially present its new Cartier Tourbillon and Crocodile Calibre 9458 MC ladies watch.It is always a great pleasure to see a jewelry watch that also has a serious complication on board. The pleasure is even greater if the movement is made totally in-house and show real technical ingenuity behind it.Such is the new Cartier Tourbillon and Crocodile Calibre 9458 MC ladies watch that will be presented in metal next January at the annual SIHH 2011 event.The Calibre 9458 MC manual-wind movement that animates the watch is made totally in-house and represents another step for Cartier towards becoming a real Manufacture.Well, being a subsidiary of the well-known Richemont Group that owns such legendary Swiss brands as Vacheron Constantin, Jaeger-LeCoultre, IWC, and the German A. Lange & Söhne, it was only a matter of time before the necessary know-how and technical expertise would be transferred to the French jeweler.Measuring 39 mm in diameter and 5.6 mm thick, the movement is by no means small. However, it must feel totally home inside a 44.5 mm case made of rhodium-plated 18-carat white gold.The case was made so large in order to provide adequate living quarters for a generously-sized crocodile.Also crafted of white gold, the beast looks suspiciously akin to the reptile that swallowed Captain Hook’s right hand and also demonstrated good appetite towards mechanical clocks.As you can see, the emerald-stud crocodile feels itself quite comfortably lying on the black mother of pearl dial among enameled water lilies.The only source of annoyance for it may be the flying tourbillon, which is suspended above the dial and also serves as a small second indicator using a C-shaped carriage as a pointer.Well, at least the croco can always eat the rotating thing if it gets really irritated.P.S. Cartier plans to produce and sell only 50 numbered units of this beautiful watch.
