A variety of specialists
Including Techniques Horlogères Appliquées (THA), the company of which FP Journe is (was?) a partner and which designed the monopusher movement. Of course there is also Girard Perregaux. Of late the movements are far less recognisable. I'll check with Cartier, but they usually are tight lipped about this.

Interesting SIHH 2007 Cartier: Rotonde de Cartier à grande complication from Collection Privée
From the top end Collection Privée Cartier Paris (CPCP) comes the Rotonde de Cartier à grande complication. I've always liked the aesthetics of the CPCP and respected the quality. One of my favourites from this range is the Pasha tourbillon, using a GP Th...

SJX, Don't go on to tell everybody about Cartier CPCP watches; it's meant to be a secret pleasure for discerning collectors Louis Cartier (1875-1942) is credited with creating the first man's wristwatch in 1904 for his Brazilian friend and client, aviator...
Totally agree....

GP should keep it to themselves
I agree the watches look stunning. I really can't understand why GP doesn't keep the movements to themselves to make them more exclusive especially something like the 3-gold bridges which is so special and such a signature to GP.
GP has supplied the Three Gold Bridges to other companies
Including Panerai (gasp!). That being said GP has selected its partners very carefully, and the use of the Three Gold Bridges in other watches have had no impact on the iconic status or desirability of the GP. I personally think the decision to supply is ...
This one is not a GP movement
G'day, current Cartier tourbillons are not supplied by GP; if recalling correctly, the "Pasha" tourbillon was the last to be a GP movement. Cheers, Peter
Repeater is from Renaud et Papi...
Turtue chronograph monopusher and Rondo day an night are from THA and Tortue perpetual is Jaeger based. The Tortue repeater is the best sounding repeater I ever heard. There is a strange thing about Cartier as "collector's brand". Everyone I have spoken t...
