Cool, elegant, original. A pure marvel. I remember having seen it at the Cartier Boutique a bit less than 20 years ago, I was in awe. Each ( rare ) time I can see one, it makes the same feeling to me. Best, Nicolas ...
I like Tortue cases. I just wished Cartier didn't have a drilled lug hole on the side of the case. I really don't like seeing those holes from the side of the case.
Possibly the most unambiguously gorgeous watch I've ever owned. (I know we aren't suppose to discuss this sort of thing, but I *also* made a bunch of money by owning it! Bought it 'before it was cool', sold it after.)
In this case though, it helps to balance out the uber 12. Definitely a grail Cartier. Any idea if they got so many fancy minds working on this movement why it was a round movement in a non round watch?
I almost bought one for 11K euro back when no one cared but the deal unfortunately fell. Then I never got around to pursuing an other. Kicking myself now.
