I used to think less of Cartier wristwatches since most of their movements are sourced from ETA or sometimes adapted from Jaeger-LeCoultre movements. But these new wave of in-house movements with Geneva Seals theoretically puts Cartier back on the podium of high-caliber watch brands.

Keep up the good work Cartier, and maybe a Cartier watch skeptic like myself will rescind those thoughts.

Thanks Anthony for the gorgeous pictures. Extremely fascinating and I'm sure this new crop will bring Cartier to even loftier heights.

What's funny about these pictures is that I took them all on the floor!

I arrived a little late and all the chairs at the table at the US press presentation were all taken, so I took a seat off to the very side and took pictures of the watches on the floor while kneeling. They came out much better than I thought they would gi...

Thanks Anthony, some very good pictures indeed. The Rotonde and Santos ADLC are extremely nice – most tempting. Event the Ballon Bleu chrono is great – makes it a bit more of a masculine piece. A bit of a pity that there is an over-reliance on the same di... 

I believe the Rontonde is going to be a huge success IMO

Agreed - very promising
