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.
Ah, where are the times that this watch was almost given away second hand
I really like this iteration. Dirk
oooh
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.
I generally prefer if the brand name sits at the top of the dial.
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?
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.
