Powered by calibre 9459 MC, the Rotonde de Cartier Astrocalendaire Perpetual Calendar features a patented gear system that replaces the traditional clutch rod and spring springs, reducing the risk of breakage caused by forcing the winding during unsafe periods. Traditional perpetual calendars prevent any manual adjustments around midnight to avoid damage. Additionally, the adjustment is made using four small buttons on the side of the case, which is not only hard to operate but also hard to read.
The watch is adjusted using the crown and is easy to use. Besides the usual hours and minutes, you can also adjust the date and month. The crown works in both directions, making it more user-friendly. Wearers of the Rotonde de Cartier Astrocalendaire Perpetual Calendar don’t need to worry about missing the current date, as it’s easy to correct such mistakes. It includes the iconic feature of high-end watchmaking, the floating tourbillon.
The Rotonde de Cartier Astrocalendaire Perpetual Calendar, engraved with the “Poinçon de Genève” (Geneva Seal), meets all the strict standards of the new Geneva Seal regulations. The self-winding calibre 9459MC is assembled and fine-tuned in Cartier’s new high-end watchmaking workshop. This new workshop is located in the heart of Geneva, Switzerland, on the second floor of the Cartier boutique on the Rhône. All watches are finished to the highest quality standards of this prestigious mark.

This watch is very low-key. If you don’t look closely, you might think it’s an ordinary watch. It goes very well with a skirt.👍👍👍
