Elegance is the art of balance, as beauty lovers call the golden ratio. The harmonious size is paired with a modern 45 mm diameter, 18-carat white gold or 18-carat rose gold Rotonde de Cartier Annual Calendar, revealing true harmony and balance through every detail.
The ultra-thin bezel has gentle curves that enhance the structured dial, which is topped by a silver-plated “sunray” pattern with black Roman numerals, around which the blued steel sword-shaped hands move. This setup allows for a clear view of time and two radial concentric silver zones, with the week in the center and the month name in the four weeks. At the bottom of the fine grooves, only the red tips of the two “hammer” hands are visible, which, when correctly set, show the date and improve the large date display in a double window at 12 o’clock.
In this design, the winding crown is made easy to grip and can be used to wind the 9908MC calibre Annual Calendar movement, as well as to set the date by adjusting the different grooves in the crown. This subtle yet stylish feature with a transparent case back offers a look into the detailed workings of fine watchmaking.
Cartier Rotonde de Cartier Annual Calendar Watch, 18-carat white gold, 45 mm, hours, minutes, date, day, and month by hand, calibre 9908 MC automatic, power reserve 48 hours, alligator leather strap with folding clasp.
