- If you want to know how the Triple 100 works, please check out last year's Cartier write-up:

Cartier Santos Triple 100
- For this version, the 3 dials are:  2 Cartier dials and 3rd dial is the skeleton movement of the Santos 100 skeleton watch










Cartier Ballon Bleu Chronograph
- offered in both bracelet and leather strap








Cartier Santos
- These new Santos pieces use ADLC coating which stands for "Amorphous Diamond Like Carbon".  Cartier didn't want to use regular DLC and this new ADLC supposedly is fingerprint proof.  So if you touch the ADLC coating, you won't see any fingerprints.
















Cartier Ladies' Animal Watches
- This year the Animal watches are available in eagle, alligator, and raccoon? (raccoons only have stripes on the tail though so someone please correct me if the animal is not a raccoon)










Cartier Secret Watch
- You can slide the cat's head up and down to hide the watch



















Cartier Ladies' Baignoire










Sorry guys, I swore I had pictures of the Cartier Santos 100 Skeleton.  Either way, you can see pictures of it in the press pics above.  This message has been edited by AnthonyTsai on 2009-01-28 12:35:47

Thanks Anthony for the gorgeous pictures. Extremely fascinating and I'm sure this new crop will bring Cartier to even loftier heights.

What's funny about these pictures is that I took them all on the floor!

I arrived a little late and all the chairs at the table at the US press presentation were all taken, so I took a seat off to the very side and took pictures of the watches on the floor while kneeling. They came out much better than I thought they would gi...

Thanks Anthony, some very good pictures indeed. The Rotonde and Santos ADLC are extremely nice – most tempting. Event the Ballon Bleu chrono is great – makes it a bit more of a masculine piece. A bit of a pity that there is an over-reliance on the same di...

A very beautiful looking piece IMO, and if I had to add a 1st Cartier to my collection, the Rontonde would definitely be it. The only thing I don't like about the Rontonde is the crown though. Wished Cartier used a crown more like the Santos crown than th... 

Agreed - very promising
