I never thought I would be interested in the Chinoise based on the pictures.

But in real life, and on the wrist, this piece is stunning. Purity and refinement at it's best. Here is the rose gold one.

Elegance. Timeless.

I don't know what kind of movement is inside that watch. And because it's a Cartier, I'm not expecting a fabulous movement. But, whomever wears that watch is probably an elegant man. And frankly may even know more about watches than the current average ho... 

Thank you! The movement inside is a very respectable thin Piaget manual.

Nicely finished, reliable. Not haute horologe by any stretch of course! But as you point out - this is not what a Cartier is generally about ... For me it is about beauty, elegance and continuity. I love independents, innovation, high end finishing. Most ... 

Congrats on a terrific piece --- lots of class and beauty, in perfect Cartier style! ;-)

PS: I was just going to give a +1 in agreement with my friend Patrick's post, but only because of Patek's average buyer and the use of "whomever" as subject, I opted for a concurring opinion.... ;-))) Cheers.

Thank you - really happy with it!

Don't be upset by what Patrick wrote - we know that there are 1-2 decent Patek collectors left ... ;-)

I respect you…this decision takes a lot of passion. Wear it in good health…

I’m still on the fence with this one, but I enjoy seeing it on connoisseur’s wrist. Congrats.

Thank you! I was also on the fence until I got a chance to spend some time with the watch.

The more I wear it, the more I like it. This is of course very personal, others will feel differently ...

A beautiful watch 👌🏻😘

The classic design and good looks will outlast many watches in any collection. The movement is well proven as reliable and perfect for this case size. Enjoy !
