Very well done....
Hello ED209,
Thanks for looking. The walnut integrated as links and dial is fantastic idea. Very clean design and a must see in person, check it out at the Cartier BH Boutique when you can.

Very nice! Always great to know there is "one of us" in the boutique...
too rarely is this the case. Cartier seems to be on a roll, and going from strength to strength. Chapeau! TM
Yes, always great to have a fellow watch enthusiast in the boutique....
Pierre-Henri's knowledge of the history of Cartier and the watches in the collection were very impressive. Not only is he a great guy, he's a fellow watch enthusiast so he's definitely one of us! -MW
Good to seeing that walnut 'Roadster'
and amazing too since this piece is limited to only 150pc. It's a watch that one needs to seeing in the flesh, the wood dial and the wood in between the links looks so special. GEO
re: Cartier Roadster
Hello Geo, Agree, the Roadster walnut dial and links is indeed amazing. I recommend anyone who is in the L.A. area to stop and visit the Cartier Beverly Hills boutique as they have a lot of interesting limited and rare pieces. -MW
Thanks for the report, MW!
I love the unique use of wood on the dial of this watch. It's very appropriate to the roadster theme. Cheers, Daos
The walnut dial of the Roadster...
Hello Daos, I keep thinking of how cool the walnut dial and links are. Since the Roadster was inspired by automobiles, it's perfect as the interior trim of fine cars uses wood accents. Thanks for looking, if you get a chance check it out at the Cartier BH...
Why gold?
DRMW, Thanks for the virtual tour. The Roadster with solid gold crown and wood dial is unusual. It is so unusual that we need an explanation, that being one of the so-called 'signs' of a fake watch! I know - I know, this is the official Cartier store, but...
hmmm.....why not? =D
I think that a unique watch such as this Cartier Roadster walnut it deserves something different so the all gold crown works. -MW
Don't worry about it being fake
Anthony Tsai has reported here in the forum, extensively about this Roadster, when the watch was introduced at the SIHH in 2008. cartier.watchprosite.com
I like how the wood was integrated
Nice pics DRMW. On the Cartier Roadster, I really like how the walnut burl wood is integrated in the dial and the bracelet. Looking forward to more pics. Regards, ED-209

Thanks for the report DRMW.
I like Pierre-Henri's Tank Obus; that's an uncommon watch. Great shots of the high horology collection, especially the Central Chronograph. However, in contrast to the other opinions, the Roadster with the wood dial isn't my cup of tea. It's too shiny and...

OMG !
Incredible ! They still have one Tortue Monopoussoir and a Tortue Perpetual Calendar in stock !
Yep and it's the smallest version
of the two models that were released, this smaller version is so much better looking than it's bigger brother. Better dial balance. I am impressed with their CPCP stock. GEO
Thanks.
I am not a big fan of Cartier watches but I hae to admit Cartier is doing a very good job, in my opinion. Some of the new models are really beautiful and exclusive creations. From the Geneva Seal line, my favorites are the WG ones, specially the Tank Amer...
Hello VMM
I've always liked the Cartier Santos line. What do you think of the Santos 100 DLC version? -MW
My fav S100 by far.
Love it together with the rubber one. The stealth look of the DLC/Ti version is stunning. Would wear it anyday. Cheers. Vte
