Rotonde de Cartier

Applying the subtle technique of the cameo to the art of watchmaking is a daring step that Cartier undertook in this watch. The subtle gradations of blue in its natural agate suggest the reflections of the sea and the gem-cutter has created a crocodile emerging from the waves. This predator, one of the most emblematic in the Cartier menagerie,is particularly striking in this interpretation with its bold relief and sparkles of light.It requires a special expertise to bring out the nuances of the agate, ranging from blue-tinged black to shimmering white, without damaging the stone. A mesmerising watch with a flying tourbillon complication and stamped with the Geneva Seal:a masterpiece of art and the watchmaking crafts
