Innovation
Amanico's initial impressions of the Cartier Masse Mystérieuse Platinum from Watches and Wonders 2022 offer a rare glimpse into a truly innovative timepiece. His post highlights the watch's unique movement, where the entire mechanism is integrated into the oscillating weight, a design choice that challenges conventional watchmaking. This article synthesizes community reactions, exploring the horological significance and market implications of such a groundbreaking creation.
Love the idea, the disruption but… not a fan of it in terms of esthetic. I will read about it to try to understand how it works because it’s intriguing ! Thanks for your post bro.
Nevertheless, this clearly is one of the highlights, when it comes to innovation.
But the price. What in this watch justifies that price tag? And they have taken the lead of swatch Sistem51 with one center piece holding the entire movement together ! (I joke a little).
It’s interesting. But it’s really more of a gimmick. It may not capture my interest for a very long time. Still. A testament that mankind tries to find more ways of making life more interesting in the name of art.
And the crown is on the right. Who knew!
...still struggling to comprehend the mechanism, which is exactly the point. Price is exceedingly high, but hope this watch will pave the way for other and more accessible iterations based on the same mechanism.
