Take the second picture for instance,
The position of the sun shows the hour (yes, you can only guess) so the time indicated is 4:28 pm. As the mortif rotates, the sun moves from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm, at which point the moon appears on the other side. The art deco engraving for the moon is a bit 'darker' which is why the design is called 'Day and Night'. Needless to say, the minute hand is a retrograde. Neat eh?
This design is not new, and has appeared in vintage pieces like pocket watches...

Combining beauty with fun
I have always liked the Cartier Rotonde Jour et Nuit (day and night), a model from the discontinued CPCP series. When the model was changed into a tonneau shape about three years ago, I tried to bid for the rotonde version (albeit unsuccessfully) in a 200...
Congrats Sam!
The watch is a beauty, and like you I love the Art Deco motif on the night and day disc. Great photos too. - SJX
Congrats! It looks terrific.
The Rotonde Day & Night is a very exceptional piece and way better than it's Tortue version. I was told that the total production was less than 200 pieces. Enjoy your watch Sam, it's gorgeous. GEO

Very neat.
Thanks for explaining it. I would think that one of the nice perks of this method of time telling is that it forces you to stare at the beautiful dial just a little bit longer than might otherwise be the case -- not a bad thing at all in this instance. re...
A truly magnificent Cartier
Congratulations Sam. Looks great and a really unique and beautiful shape the each has. Cheers Hans
Are you a profesional photographer?
Usually it is Geo that makes pictures like this! Beautiful watch, it suits you very nice! Enjoy in good health! Martin
Thx for the kind words
My photography skills pale compared to my friend Ogygia. Look at this 3D pic of the PAM 358! Sam
One of the most beautiful timepiece I've ever seen..
I really love the sleek case and the unique dial. Congratulations sam! Best Regards, SamRotandi
Congrats on an exceptional watch...
This is a watch that even people not normally attracted to Cartier really seem to appreciate. Its just stunning! I love the dial its pure artwork. I had an opportunity to try on the Tortue version and it just left me cold. The Rotonde is the perfect versi...
Beautiful watch.
I think I first saw this one in an article in Time Werke magazine. I loved it then and I love it now. Congratulations. Regards, Richard.
Sam and Ogygia! You guys form a good pairing
and Ogygia, if you're not selling your talent professionally, YOU SHOULD! Great eye and photos as usual! Congrats!
Thanks! Arthur
You impressed me! I have to "re-think" what I really want and what I really can...
Nice catch, Sam!
Is it really important that it takes time to read the time, when the watch is that nice? It doesn't take time to fall in love with such a nice piece, obviously! Enjoy your new Baby, my friend. Nice taste, as usual. And thanks to the photographer for such ...
