All Hail: Brew Celebrates New York City at the Windup Watch Fair with a Tribute to the Iconic Checkered Taxi
Rotonde de Cartier
Imagine a watch equipped with a tourbillon that seems to be suspended in space. That was the challenge taken up by Cartier with its new movement, the 9454 MC Double Mystery Tourbillon certified by the Geneva Seal. Slightly closer inspection will reveal the magic concealed in the mechanism. Indeed the flying tourbillon, which turns once on its own axis every 60 seconds, appears to be floating completely free in space, with no visible connection to any gear train. The illusion is complete when the same tourbillon cage starts to perform a second rotation at a rate of one turn every five minutes. This product of Cartier’s creative daring and watchmaking know-how, the Double Mystery Tourbillon, is the quintessence of over a century of mystery creations from the Maison.
