Description
Golden globe of spherical eleganceAll gold, choice leather and an orbiting cabochonThis timepiece conjugates and heightens the elegance and sophistication of the original Ballon bleu de Cartier model. It is the innovative version of the watch with a doubly-rounded case, whose soft curves are enhanced by the addition of a leather strap. This extremely elegant touch confers a masculine aspect upon the roundness and extraordinary volume of the pebble-like watch-case and reinforces the contrasts. A question of style: the alligator-skin strap foretells and emphasises the unusual dandy style of the watch, the powerful beauty of the winding mechanism that orbits around the dial, the magic of the curious glass that magnifies the numbers and distorts time, the lightness of its form – round underneath and on top – as if it were almost weightless. All are elements that are sure to amaze and astonish.
Supplied by the brand to the GPHG for its entry.
