Santos de WQES0002 replica

Rotonde de Cartier rose gold watch Turtle motif “Turtle motif in an intricate mosaic of onyx, carnelian, coral, agate, jasper, and mother-of-pearl.”

To choose a gemstone, there are many types available, including onyx, tiger’s eye, eagle’s eye, yellow jasper, carnelian, yellow jasper, palm jasper, kalahari jasper, yellow agate, moss agate, coral, and mother-of-pearl. The gem-setter then polishes and cuts the selected warm-toned natural gemstones into small squares with a side length of 0.75 mm and a thickness of 0.4 mm.

The gemstone squares are then set one by one in a specific order. A total of 1,167 gemstones are set throughout the turtle pattern. All gemstones are glued to the dial and then reinforced to ensure an even and smooth surface of the pattern. The gem-setting process alone requires more than 60 man-hours.
