II · The line

Ballon Bleu

Cartier introduced the Ballon Bleu in 2007 as a new interpretation of a round watch. Its rounded design extends to the domed front and back of the case.

III · The manufacture

Cartier since 1847

Louis-François Cartier founded his business in Paris in 1847. The Paris house moved to rue de la Paix in 1899. Louis Cartier designed the Santos wristwatch for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont in 1904. The Santos became commercially available in 1911. The Tank appeared in 1917, developing the house’s approach to shaped wristwatches. The Panthère watch arrived in 1983 with its flexible bracelet and compact case. Tank Anglaise joined the range in 2012 with a crown integrated into its case flank. Cartier belongs to Richemont today and combines jewellery with watchmaking in its collections. Its Swiss manufacture and Maison des Métiers d’Art bring watchmaking and decorative crafts together.

IV · Ownership

Wearing and caring

  1. 1

    An automatic watch winds itself while worn. Left off the wrist for a couple of days it stops: wind it with the crown, then set the time and the date.

  2. 2

    Water resistance up to 50 m means splashes and rain. Do not swim or shower with it.

  3. 3

    Have the movement serviced every few years by the brand's own service or an authorised watchmaker.
