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..

Watchmaker Cartier has unveiled a new model which looks to take "a highly original approach to combating the effects of gravity on timekeeping".Entitled the Rotonde de Cartier Astroregulateur, one of the main features of this timepiece is the unique movement approach which has been chosen by the company, Watch Time reported.This is because the watch is designed to move in various directions over the course of a day, as well as at a range of speeds.By doing this, the escapement is subjected to "a variety of accelerations as the rotor spins", thus offering fashion watch fans more detail.Other eye-catching elements of this Cartier timepiece include a choice of titanium or 18-carat white gold being offered for the crown's finish, as well as a case styled in niobium-titanium on leather.Recently, Cartier revealed the elegant Le Cirque Animalier de Cartier collection, with each watch being designed with an assortment of diamonds, which form up to create an image of an animal across the dial, Watch Luxus reported.
