Cartier Roadster
The Roadster watch has a streamlined design that accelerates time. Now, it’s making a comeback on the watchmaking scene after its original launch in 2002. When it was introduced, the Roadster borrowed bold codes from the world of mechanical bodywork, setting a standard among watchmaking connoisseurs. With its speedometer-inspired dial, conical crown, headlight-shaped date magnifier, rivets and screws, the watch boasted a bold, powerful design that reflected the Cartier brothers' interest in the mechanical world and technological advancement.
