Cartier Ronde Croisiere Watch Review

Cartier’s latest sports watch in 2015 is the Ronde Croisiere collection, which in many ways is an unexpected but not surprising move. Among the larger luxury companies of the Richemont Group, Cartier is the most important brand, with revenues easily surpassing Piaget, Panerai, and Vacheron Constantin ( Vacheron Constantin), IWC and other family members. This means that Cheap Cartier Replica Watches not only has to take on many responsibilities, but also respond to market trends and needs. From a different perspective, Cartier Ronde Croisiere can be seen to a large extent as a response to Cartier’s interest in certain collectors and the needs of the consumer watch market.

So what is Cartier’s response to these shouts? Well, first of all, people like simpler and classic sports watches. Second, people have been complaining (in many cases, their complaints are very correct), and the price of luxury watches is too high for the price they get. Therefore, Cartier Ronde Croisiere is not only a retro-style casual sports watch, but also a watch with internal sports, starting at less than $5,000.

Overall, I like the style and concept of the Cartier Ronde Crosiere collection. It is a comfortable and attractive watch with a lot of style and practicality. However, there are some very strange design choices and examples, and you feel that Cartier is particularly trying to protect a wider range of details in their high-priced watch products.

First of all, my biggest dissatisfaction is about the Cartier Ronde Croisiere watch, which is the hand. People who know me are very familiar with my criticism of others, but in this case, I promise that I will not be too sensitive. As you can see, Cartier Replica Watches chose a hand with a skeleton and spent hours, minutes, or even a second hand. It’s as if they chose the right pointer for Cartier’s Lander Croixier dial, instead of including the expected luminescent materials, just decided to make them skeleton. Even the round tip at the end of the second is boned.

I think this design choice is very confusing. Over the years, I have been seeing watch manufacturers turning their hands into jealousy in the absence of meaning. The hand with the skeleton looks cool and makes it easier for the watch wearer to see the small dial or other information on the dial, otherwise the hands may block this information. On a time-only dial (with or without a date), the hand with the skeleton has no function.

Over the years, I have frankly talked to different watch designers and asked about this strange trend. I have only identified two possible reasons. One of the reasons is that most watches today are designed with computer software, and the light can be manipulated or deceived. What looks beautiful and clear in computer graphics does not represent the way things look in real life, because the colors, materials, and ornaments react to light. That’s why you see a lot of skeleton hands on modern watches.

Another reason is “design.” Contrary to the logic of most watch enthusiasts, some designers believe that “the hand is too bold to take a dial.” “Well, this is the point, isn’t it?” The designers seem to use skeletonized hands to reduce the visual The “weight” on the top so that (in their minds) the dial looks more beautiful and harmonious. Of course, for those who like to watch watches, this idea seems to be misguided.

At the press conference, Cartier Ronde Croisiere has three versions, although they are attractive in abstraction, but only one is what I can recommend. That is the silver dial of the black hand. This is the only version of the watch that has a sufficient contrast between the dial and the hands, and in most cases the watch is clearly visible. The grey dial is one second, but not as good as the silver dial. In this model, Fake Cartier Watches finished his hand well, so they provided more contrast with the shiny grey dial. Again, it’s not as easy to read as a silver dial, but it’s manageable. However, the most interesting modes, the grey dial and the pink gold accent are almost completely illegible in many lighting situations. I can make a difference in photography and display the dial with the most flattering light (literally), but if you use this watch as a sports watch, it will be misleading because it is easy to I can see the time at a glance. That’s a pity, because I like that model very much.

In fact, when I saw these watches on my wrist, the first thing I thought of was: “This is really a cool concept. I want to like these watches.” I want to know if you can simply use some more. Good things to replace the hands – full of lume? “There are some watch grooming stores that might do this, maybe Cartier will replace Cartier’s Hande Kroy Hill’s hand in the future.” I don’t know, but I The advice to them is that this is a better watch that can be read on all dials.

Ok, now I got the main complaint. I don’t like to complain (well, actually, I like it, I just don’t like being too negative and not constructive), but I can now continue to talk about many of the very real advantages of the Cartier Ronde Croisiere collection. In French, croisiere means “cruise”, which I think in this context, it means that this timer is more than just a sports watch, but a “leisure” sports watch. A closer look reveals that what Cartier Replica did was to combine the design elements of the diving watches of the 1950s and 1960s with the DNA of their own products, making it a dial consisting of rotating Roman numerals. This combination is actually effective, and the appeal of this design to the wrist is very high.

Of course, Cartier Ronde Croisiere is not a diving watch. Cartier has launched a watch with a Calibre submersible (aBlogtoWatch), which is my favorite sports watch in the brand’s collection. But Cartier Ronde Croisiere is not a clothing watch. I call it an elegant casual sports watch. To achieve this, the box is waterproof to 100 meters and it is on a beautiful black calf leather belt with a canvas effect.

The Cartier Ronde Croisiere box is relatively thin, only 9.7 mm thick and 42 mm wide. The steel casing has shorter ears and is completely polished to give a vintage-inspired look. The thin profile on the wrist makes it very comfortable, while the thick and short lugs make the 42 mm wide size comfortable on most wrists. I really like the size and wrist of Cartier Ronde Croisiere, which is undoubtedly the highlight of this piece.

Cartier Ronde Croisiere designed a border that looked like a rotating diver’s border, but it was fixed. The steel frame has a black layer of ADLC and a matte finish for a unique feel. This is very effective on steel and gold models, adding 18k pink gold and 18k gold crown to the frame. Compared to the blue sapphire crystals common to many other Cartier watches, black spinel is used as the card hole material on the crown. Crown is within the scope of Cartier’s design DNA.

From a simple design point of view, Cartier Ronde Croisiere’s dial is cute. You have a traditional style minute track outside, followed by a circle of Cartier Roman numerals and some textures inside. Everything fits well and the ratio is good, but of course there is also the problem of legibility. In the grey dial model, the Polish numerals and refractions of the Roman numerals are too high, which hinders readability. In a sense, they can highlight the silver-plated Cartier Ronde Croisiere dial, which is much better because of better contrast and less reflectivity.

Inside the Cartier Ronde Croisiere is the brand’s popular and in-house manufactured 1874 MC automatic sport, running at 4Hz, providing approximately 42 hours of power reserve. Considering the price of Cartier Ronde Croisiere or its thin and light characteristics, there is no exhibition case here, which is not common for watches in the 1847 MC sports.

Best Cartier Replica Watches is a brand that does a lot of the right things. They spend a lot of time making sure their boxes are both sophisticated and comfortable, and their watches tend to have real market appeal and wear. However, another problem I would like to consider is that on most watches, the straps are all expandable straps. The system needs to severely bend each side of the strap to determine the size of the watch – which is a bit frustrating. The good news is that if the operation is correct, you will get a very accurate match. In addition, the deployer used a tension lock, which for me always makes people feel that they have to put too much pressure to shut it down. They look good, but I find that wearing a Cartier watch is not as “luxury” as it should be. Despite this, Cartier still has some excellent bracelets and corresponding deployers, so I know that this brand can do more.

Cartier Ronde Croisiere is a lovely creation and solid concept that offers a great watch to a solid price. I can easily endorse the reference CRWSRN0002 model and light silver dialing, which is my preferred collection. Not only does it look good, but you can still read it. Ref. CRWSRN0003 is also in steel, the grey dial is a good looker, but not very clear, and the retail price of each model is $4,650. We also have ref. CRW2RN0005 Ronde Croisiere steel with a 18k pink gold accent for a retail price of $5300.

Cartier Rotonde De Cartier Astrotourbillon Skeleton Watch Hands

One of the main themes of the Cartier watches at the 2015 SIHH Watch and Jewelry Show is Skeletonization. In fact, in the past few years, Cheap Cartier Replica Watches has demonstrated an increasing number of skeletonized versions of internally manufactured timepieces that exist on the top of their watch products. In 2015, we got another interesting skeletal evolution of the existing product, the Cartier Rotonde Cartier Astrotourbillon skeleton.

As early as 2010, Cartier launched the Rotonde Astrotourbillon watch for the first time, and aBlogtoWatch also released this watch. It was Cartier’s time when it began to truly demonstrate its credibility as an internal watchmaker trying to attract high-end collectors. Most of them think of the company’s jewelry manufacturers, men’s and women’s watches, with excellent design status but simple movement. Fake Cartier Watches wants to offer the best of both worlds, with excellent mainstream luxury watch products for men and women, as well as “high-end watch”-level products for more serious lovers.

Most people think that Cartier has more or less succeeded in this regard. Today in 2015, Best Cartier Replica Watches has attracted the attention of serious watch enthusiasts, even though their mainstream is still a simpler luxury watch product. At the very least, they have succeeded in impressing high-end mechanical watch enthusiasts who have designed a range of designs and complications that showcase many real innovations and creativity.

Cartier Astrotourbillon is just a new type of whimsical complication that provides a fascinating visual experience. What is astrotourbillon? It is essentially a balance wheel mounted on the second hand. It is not a true tourbillon because the balance wheel does not rotate in the cage on its own shaft. Having said that, the balance wheel moves in a circular manner and is at least a wheel. I mean, let’s face it, the tourbillon is just a watch movement that adds complexity and artistry. You should eliminate any opinions you have about making a more precise watch. So when a company decides to change how tourbillon works and how it works, there is no functional loss, they just provide an alternative that lets people know, understand, and be a bit boring at this point. .

In 2011, Cartier Replica Watches followed up with the original Rotonde Astrotourbillon and placed the same movement in a Calibre box. aBlogtoWatch is the first to showcase the Cartier telescope here. Because I prefer the caliper case, not the Lawton case – considering my preference for sports watches – in my opinion, this is a very strong product, I am happy to see Cartier extend the Astrotourbillon concept to More on the watch. Having said that, I have not seen the astrology in the wild corner of Qatar. I am looking forward to seeing one soon, because the second hand of the star chart is a simple pleasure in action.

Another year later, in 2012, Cartier released a very interesting limited edition Rotonde Cartier Astrotourbillon with Rotonde Cartier Astrotourbillon carbon crystals. This witnessed the entry of some unique substances from Cartier’s ID project into Astrotourbillon. In addition, this is the first time Cartier Replica has tried some skeleton experiments on the timer on the star wheel. The Rotonde Astrotourbillon carbon crystal is an amazing watch that led to the 2015 Cartier Rotonde Cartier Astrotourbillon skeleton.

One of the biggest problems with full-skeleton watches is that some people really don’t like to see their wrists through the dial. The concept of a skeleton watch is to completely “cut” the unnecessary metal, leaving only the most basic part. I don’t think that “full view” is a bad thing, although I don’t always want to stare at the furry wrist while admiring the beauty of hand-carving.

Cartier Rotonde Cartier Astrotourbillon Skeleton’s movements are very small, which shows how simple even such a complex thing can be. Cartier offers a very modern version of the skeletonization and movement decoration, with a focus on the contrast between the brushed surface and the polished bevel. Even the 12 and 6 hour signs are engraved to maintain the position of the movement.

The interior of the Cartier Rotonde De Cartier Astrotourbillon skeleton is a hand-made 9461 MC hand-wound motion of 233 parts, operating at 3 Hz (21600 bph). It has a 49-hour power reserve – and, given its weight, it requires a lot of energy. The watch itself is even bigger. The 18k gold watch is 47mm wide and 15.8mm thick.

The cool “tailless evening gown” tones of this watch add to its mystery, and I think its white gold looks better than its rose gold. Looking at the movements in the movement and watching the balance wheel keep turning, it is a real pleasure, and it is also the highlight of Cartier’s achievements here. Once again, considering the price, such a watch should provide all of this.

The dimensions of the Cartier Rotonde Cartier Astrotourbillon skeleton represent “bold and sporty”, but the design stands for “elegance and elegance.” “These two watches together make up a series of watches with unique personality, but considering the rarity of these watches and their inherent exclusivity, this is acceptable.” Although many people do not consider getting a more from Cartier Basic high-end watch collectors still spend a lot of time on making such high-end models before making decisions—especially because it’s still new to Cartier and, frankly, a lot of competition (even though Cartier certainly stands out and has its own).

Cartier Rotonde Cartier Astrotourbillon’s skeleton features a black crocodile strap that combines Cartier’s French luxury wear experience with the exquisite Swiss mechanical movement. For those who have the means and appreciation, this skeletonized Rotonde Astrotourbillon is not a bad choice. The price is $186,000.

CARTIER SANTOS 100 Watch Reviews

During my years of reviewing the Cartier Replica Watches, I chose mostly round watches. In fact, most people who buy watches have a round case. I say this because the Cartier Santos 100 watch was a bit left field for me. Despite this, I’m very happy that I made this decision because once you really wear it, this watch will be very attractive.

Some of the most representative watches have non-circular watches, but these watches are indeed very rare. How many genuine “signature” square or rectangular watches are even outside? Indeed, there are few such people, and for whatever reason, most of them are Cartier (except Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso and Bell & Ross BR01). Cartier’s tank series watches have many rectangular cases, but its only square watch is the Santos family, including the Santos dumont and Cartier Santos 100 watches, such as the one I commented today.

One of the reasons why a square watch cannot be used on the wrist is the inherent contradiction between the organic curve on the wrist of the person and the mathematical angle of the square watch. Put these things together, and you usually get a dissonant result. It is important to consider this because it means that a square or rectangular watch looks good in the picture, but it may not look so good on your wrist. In “Wrist Test”, the performance of round watches is often much better.

However, the above trend is not a rule, and a correct square or rectangular watch can look great. Cartier Santos’s range of products is one of them, and it’s hard to explain why it works on the wrist. Like many well-worn aesthetics, the brain does not always explain well what the eyes perceive. I spent several days looking at Cartier Replica Santos 100 on my wrist and tried to think about why “this square is working but other people can’t?”

The “huge” size of the Cartier Santos 100 is deceptive because the box (without the crown) is only 38 mm wide. With the crown, the steel shell is 41.3 mm wide, 51.11 meters high and only 10.34 mm thick. This means that the Cartier Santos 100 watch is of various sizes and is bold in appearance, and many watch enthusiasts are looking for it. If you remember, in 2012, we briefly reviewed another model in this series. The coat of the Cartier Santos 100 is the black casing of adlc. True, the only difference is color and coating materials, but this seemingly more traditional piece has a very different visual personality.

Cartier Santos 100 Reference W20073X8 all steel black strap, and this reference W20072X7 uses a brown crocodile leather strap with 18k yellow border. This is my favorite. Borders are easily the most unique element of the Santos 100 series, which you cannot see on Santos-dumont. Cheap Cartier Replica Watches certainly produced other smaller Santos models in the past “in” square borders, a look has been carried out so many brands of jewelry collections and other very popular love bangle-style bracelets seem to screw around … this is actually used screws Fixed on the wrist.

This “industrial appearance” with exposed screws marks many men’s watches and dates back to Cartier’s first wristwatch designed for men. The story is this: In 1904, Louis Fake Cartier Watches was invited by his friend Alberto Santos-Dumont to make a watch that he could wear while flying an airplane. In 1903, the Wright brothers succeeded in the “first power flight”. As a Brazilian, Santos Dumont also spent a long time in Europe and was one of the few aviation pioneers in the world to try early flying machines. The process of returning at the time was more intimidating and dangerous than today. Needless to say, it always requires two hands, and seeing a pocket watch is really not an option. Therefore, like early diver watches, early aviation watches were necessary because pilots needed both hands to operate the aircraft.

The square shape of this watch has been enduring, and today its tradition continues to this day. While exposing screws theoretically should be “engineering,” they have become style and decorative elements, and I agree that the overall composition of help looks more masculine and helps to remind you that it is indeed a machine’s wrist, rather than a pure style or identity symbol of.

Back in the case of Cartier Santos 100, when you put it on, you will find how crooked it is. The large lug arches gracefully downwards, forming a shape that allows the box to fit comfortably on the wrist, while also adding some of the necessary degree of curvature, giving the Cartier Santos 100 an “organic” look in harmony with the wrist. . And, even if the box is square, almost everything has rounded corners, from the box itself to the border. There are sharp angles, but they are less thoughtful than curves. In fact, the genius of design is to create a very round square box with most of the real angles on the dial.

The Cartier Santos 100 Cartier Cartier brushed well (I can add it a little) and there was a beautiful, polished, beveled edge on the side of the suitcase that looked great. The golden borders are polished, and I admire that it is yellow and rose. The most accessible angle you can find on this box is the geometric seven-faced crown, which has a large blue spinel crystal, K. Kabong (Cartier used sapphire in the past, but nowadays spinel is usually preferred because it is easier Industrialization and provide the same appearance). Best Cartier Replica Watches is very good at making some very simple cases, these cases are done through careful visual refinement and carefully selected details. This is the culmination of European high-end watch design because of its subtle nuances and timeless appeal.

Also pay attention to the simple appearance of the trademark Cartier dial. Fully symmetrical, with only time (no date), the light silver dial is the epitome of Cartier, black Roman numerals and sword-shaped stout hands. This dial works well on Cartier’s tank watch, but in a square case in a square, I think this design looks best. Yes, the dial is simple, but it is also quite clear and elegant. When you really want to celebrate conservatism, you can choose Cartier Santos 100.

Yes, the Cartier Santos 100 watch is essentially a simple timer with only a few gimmicks. Experienced watch enthusiasts may yawn due to lack of technical incentives, but this is not the whole story of the Cartier Santos 100. This is one of the watches that Cartier designed for “everybody” (who can afford it), it made up for it lacking a particular sport or character, and its appearance is also very beautiful. Oh, with 100 meters of water resistance, you can also classify your watch as a “real sports watch.”

I hope that in the future Cartier may decide to join an in-house production campaign. I think for many collectors this will increase the value proposition because it is not an entry-level watch. Currently, Cartier Santos 100 owns an Eta 2892 automatic mobile base in Switzerland and its job is to report reliably and accurately.

Cartier uses a seamless strap connection system, which means there is no gap between the case and the strap, which is fine. Comfortable belts have invisible seams (I like) and butterfly-style unfolding buckles. The buckle itself looks cool and its design is reminiscent of its steel frame, 18k yellow gold structure and two visible screws. In addition, the buckles are also done as well as the boxes, with additional details such as angular bevels. As I tend to do, I will mention that although the adjustment system allows you to carefully select the length of each side of the strap to ensure a very precise fit, it is not designed to allow you to constantly adjust the size of the strap. So the initial size is a bit painful, but once you measure the size of the strap, it looks good on your wrist.

On the wrist, Cartier Santos 100 sells itself. It is a beautiful, easy-to-live watch on the whole. If I have more bad things to say, I will. But anyway, this is a great watch, although I think it is expensive. It will not be the most complicated watch in your series, but it is not attractive. People love watches like the Cartier Santos 100 because of its classic design and versatile wearing. It succeeds in becoming a classic, both elaborate and unique enough to serve your unique collection of watch characters. The reference price for this W20072X7 Cartier Santos 100 watch is $9,650, and the record is that the pure steel model is $7,000.
