Cartier will launch two watches at the SIHH 2012

November 2011

For the 22nd Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie, Cartier is reversing roles and confounding expectations with a new ladies’ complication, the Masse Secrète panther decor watch, Calibre 9603 MC.

Masse Secrète panther

In the grand tradition of watchmaking secrets, this ladies’ complication watch is a true feat of high-tech invention. The oscillating weight of the watch has been inverted and takes the dramatic form of a panther set with diamonds. Cartier complements the functionality of the weight with a stylish House motif: a three-dimensional panther secretly linked to the calibre, making the big cat seem to prowl all the way around the inky mother-of-pearl dial. The panther stealthily patrols the hours one by one within a bezel set with multiple rows of diamonds.

Rotonde de Cartier Cadran Lové Tourbillon

A revelation echoed in the men’s Rotonde de Cartier Cadran Lové Tourbillon watch, Calibre 9458 MC, certified with the Geneva Seal. In this latest incarnation of the tourbillon, Cartier has shifted the centre of gravity, freeing up space for powerful decorative motifs that pulsate with locomotive rhythm.
