Enamelling: precious expertise

Boasting an exceptional dial in deep-blue enamel, The Ballon Bleu de Cartier 39 mm Flying Tourbillon watch with a blue enamel dial, follows in the tradition of dials and clocks crafted in enamel at the beginning of the 20th century. This craft involves first creating a radiating motif in guilloché on a disc of 18-carat white gold, which is then covered with several layers of translucent enamel

The enamel starts out as powder, the texture, composition and colour of which must be carefully chosen to ensure an even and pleasing appearance after firing. Control of the temperature during firing affects the entire process. This phase is all the more delicate because the dial has a large opening through which the flying tourbillon carriage is visible. Once it has cooled down, the dial displays a radiant interplay of matter and luminosity, between the transparency of the layer of enamel, the texture of the guilloché and the refinement its blue hue.

The Ballon Bleu de Cartier 39 mm Flying Tourbillon watch is certified "Poinçon de Genève" Its calibre 9452 MC is assembled and adjusted in the Cartier workshops in the very heart of Geneva, according to the strictest criteria of excellence.

Strictly for watch aficionados who will see it for the rare object it is, the Ballon Bleu de Cartier 39 mm Flying Tourbillon watch with a blue enamel dial, celebrates Cartier's unique style with elegance and creativity.
