With the echo of distant stars, the dazzling light of white diamonds, and the perfect hanging ribbon in the night sky, it is dazzling… On a full moon night, the Ballon Blanc de Cartier seems to fall like a comet from the Cartier workshop.
Cartier’s jewels and watchmaking expertise come together to create a precious, delicate, feminine, and sometimes playful jewelry watch. It feels as if the poems of the French modernist poet Baudelaire capture the excitement of the spirit and the senses. Lightweight as if weightless, the Ballon Blanc de Cartier takes classic Cartier design elements and creates a fresh look, like a woman changing her makeup.
The case keeps its charming pebble shape, like a precious compact. The guilloché mother-of-pearl dial and blued steel sword-shaped hands—the hallmarks of the Ballon de Cartier collection—are not present. The Roman numerals and minute track are slightly off-center to highlight a sparkling diamond set at 4 o’clock. The bracelet consists of five perfectly shaped rows of “bubbles”, either set with diamonds or shiny and smooth, like a stream of water flowing down.
