Last year, Cartier released not a few exceptional watch models to celebrate the brand’s 100th anniversary. And the Cartier Rontonde De Cartier Central Chronograph is my favorite in their 2009 watch offerings.
I am drooling over the dial of innovative two-layer design. The upper dial that covers part of the hour hand and the minute hands display the chronograph. The arc-shape window serves as the 30-minutes, and the seconds hand travels around the black minute chapter ring. The lower dial tells the time with the brand’s signature blued hands and classic Roman numerals as hour makers.
This watch has another attractive features aside from the creative dial design: Beneath its 42mm rose gold case, there beats the Cartier’s in-house new movement: 9907 MC caliber movement. The brand claimed that the 9907 was completely designed, developed and assembled by their artisans. The movement is composed of 272 individual parts and sports a a column wheel with vertical coupling system for the chronograph. According the official saying, the chronograph function of the movement features less energy consumption than other chronograph watches.
The crown which extends out a little long from the case is one of the signature feature of Cartier watches. Like other models from this brand, the crown of this attractive Rontonde De Cartier is fixed by an iconic screw and has classic blue cop at the top.
As mentioned above, this watch is particular innovative in design. As far as I know, Cartier has filed for patents for the two-layer design of the dial and the location of the chronograph.
