It is an exclusive example of fine watchmaking by Cartier, available in a limited-edition series of 100 individually numbered timepieces. This distinctive timepiece, whose spectacular diameter is compensated by the extreme lightness of titanium, exhibits meticulous finishes on both the case and the movement. The Astrotourbillon movement, which was introduced last year after five years of development in the Manufacture, now powers the Calibre de Cartier watch. Powerful and light, imposing and comfortable I think this is the best looking iteration of the Calibre de Cartier case yet! This will be officially launched at SIHH 2011 and I will have live photos of it soon.Ĭalibre de Cartier Astrotourbillon watch, Calibre 9451 MC As far as I can recall this is the first Calibre de Cartier in titanium, in fact it is one of the few Cartier watches in titanium, though it will not be the only one. Whether you prefer tourbillons or panthers, Cartier has a collection that will satisfy your horological desires.This will be a sure hit, the Astrotourbillon in a titanium Calibre de Cartier case, limited to 100 pieces. The deep black obsidian provides a stark backdrop to the sleek panther, and each panther has diamonds for the body, with emerald eyes, black lacquer spots, and a black onyx nose. The panther is front and center on the base of each mini clock. The hours at 3, 6, 9 and 12 are marked by yellow sapphires or baguette-cut diamonds. The yellow enamel version has a sunray motif, while the pink and blue versions have concentric circles. The craftsmanship is exquisite and the tie is displayed on the circular diamond-set bezel. The delicate creation comes in three different versions: yellow, pink, or blue. This mini clock has 24 months of hard work behind it, with components developed and assembled in the Cartier Manufacture.

The mini Panthère Mystery Clock is presented in smaller, more delicate proportions. Moving on to the Mini Mystery Clocks, we will see that Cartier may downscale the size but definitely not the intensity.
