One of my favorite Cartier: The Cartier Tortue Monopusher Chronograph, white gold.

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 tortues!

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.
I like that 😁

That's an incredible movement :O I can understand that the C's engraving is not of your liking but covering it up for that? haha I'm shivering :P
Exactly.

I agree that the movement decoration is... unfortunate. But the architecture is so fascinating I'm glad they didn't cover it up.

I loved this watch

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.)
Incredible watch *_*

I have the yellow gold version, simply love it! The design is so refined, with such a movement.
What a dream!

Sooner or later the Tirtue will celebrate a comeback! 🤞
A small masterpiece by THA

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.
