It was dandy aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont who talked his friend, Louis Cartier, into making a wrist-borne watch for him so it would be easier to see the time while flying. After a moving century-long history, in 2018 Cartier has reinvented its Santos.
Unlike many tourbillon watches that come in fairly straightforward round cases, the Ballon Blue Flying Tourbillon de Cartier combines high-end watchmaking with a more daring and very comfortable case design. It also has quite a story to tell about the brand’s complicated pieces in the modern era.
A grail watch can be pretty much anything. But one thing a grail watch always is is personal. Very personal. I was introduced to my personal grail watch by a close friend of mine who had recently treated himself to a new watch: a pre-Collection Privée Cartier Paris Louis Cartier Tank in platinum.
It remains an incredible skill to be able to fool a person’s senses. Cartier does an absurdly good job of creating horological magic tricks with its “mystery” movements like the one we find here in the Rotonde de Cartier Astromystérieux presented at the 2016 edition of SIHH. Almost the entire movement is seemingly not connected to the surrounding watch, floating delicately in the transparent dial opening. How does it work?
The Rotonde de Cartier Masse Mystérieuse appears magical thanks to the apparent lack of any connection to the case while putting most of the mechanics on full display. It may be a time-only watch with no complications or tourbillons, but it is a most impressive accomplishment. Joshua Munchow explains the magic trick.

George Cramer was pleased to see a stunning new historically inspired Santos-Dumont model in stainless steel at SIHH 2019. And to his Cartier-enamored eye it looked even better than the model from the now-defunct Collection Privée Cartier Paris (CPCP) line.

I’ll never forget that instant when I first saw this pink gold Pasha de Cartier 42 in a window: time seemed to have stopped around me, sounds faded, and all I could see was this stunning wristwatch. It was love at first touch after I went inside and tried it on!
