Ballon Bleu de Cartier – Marverlous Watches

Thursday, June 23rd, 2011

At the first sight, you may never think that there are something complicated under the simple watchcase. Maybe the exclusive 12 Roman numerals are the most impressive decoration. When you have a close look at the watch case, you must find something unique and fantastic if you are careful enough.


This is a classic men’s timepiece which is still the quintessential dandy item. Although with the usual ball-like shape, the quirky crown is decorated with a blue sapphire cabochon, and something else more impressive is the arc of protection of precious metal. Also the winding mechanism and the distorting glass, but this time, this Ballon Bleu de Cartier is paired with a leather strap. Cartier watches always shock the world unconsciously in the special ways.


With its diffracted roundness, extra clearance mechanism, blue, and elliptical, pulls the Ballon Bleu de Cartier a line between past and future, between what we know and what we want to know about the universe and time. Such Cartier piece expresses men’s charming masculine touch completely and perfectly. Available in pink gold, the automatic watch can also serve up the time – hours, minutes and seconds – and the date just as well as any more staid watch could. Warranty dial, sword-shaped hands, the compounds of gold or solid brushed steel look bracelet. With soft curves reminiscent of a pebble and a case that is full of both sides, the style is somewhere between the classic and futuristic.


Since the first launch, Ballon Bleu de Cartier watches have wooed thousands of watch enthusiasts again and again. Paired with such a timepiece on the wrist, you are surely to turn the world a showstopper. There are several models: the Ballon bleu de Cartier big Platinum, Ballon bleu de Cartier Large gold and the Ballon bleu de Cartier Platinum diamond. Also, this series watches include both the men’s and women’s models.

Cartier Tank Americaine Watch

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010

Regarding Cartier, one of the most prevalent jewelers as well as watchmakers, I think there is no need for any further introduction since everyone is able to figure it out. Superior to other top brands, it is an official brand that served royalties and high-class aristocrats with various kinds of jewelry items and splendid horological items. Now, Cartier is standing at the top of the Haute Horology World, enhancing its international status by producing interesting and innovative wristwatches.

Recently, Cartier made room for another amazing collection, namely, the Tank Americaine Watch. It is a line featuring retro and classy design and recalls you the New York style of the 1930s. The new creation has subtle design and is reliable in terms of technical performance. The rectangular case is made of white, rose and yellow gold. The classy look is rendered by simple white dial embellished by Roman numeral hour markers. The time is very legible with the neatly displayed hour and minutes. With no special decoration, it impresses all via the classy subtlety.

Aiming to ensure the accuracy, this brand-new watch is equipped with the quartz movement crafted in Cartier’s ateliers in France by skillful watch experts. Rather than top craftsmanship, high sophistication and excellent technical performance, this watch focuses more on its design.

The vintage look of this new Cartier Tank Americaine Watch easily makes people recall the nostalgia of the 1930s. From the case to the strap, every part is crafted from fine materials. Black and brown are available for the finely refined alligator leather strap that is hand-sewn with matching thread. For such a luxury, the price is no doubt very high. However, it does deserve what the owner is going to pay for.
