the Cartier Rotonde. stunning beautiful elegant timepiece that Cartier uses to
show off some of their finest movements I'm going to share a few of ours with you
hi it's Meg from SwissWatchExpo you know I always love sharing really special watches
with you sometimes often it's a his and hers pair these aren't his and hers I wouldn't be
surprised though if you find a woman wearing one of these they're stunning but what I love
about these Cartier the Rotonde is that they're exceptional watches they're beautiful in their
style and their design and right now we have a bunch to share with you so I'm not going to
share all of the weight that we have in stock with you but I picked some really special ones
just to kind of give you an idea of the breadth of choices that you have with SwissWatcExpo and
the extraordinary timepieces that are really really special with Cartier of course Cartier
is known for their small very elegant simple Tank style watches even the men's watches typically are
small as well so often we have our gentleman clients looking for something that's a dress
watch that's very elegant very beautiful but not quite so small the Cartier Rotonde is in the 40
and 42 millimeters so exceptional choices and I just want to share some that we have with you
one of the things about the Rotonde as far as its history with Cartier it's been created since the
early 1900s they've always used the case which is of course the very classic round design to
show off some of their most fascinating and most extraordinary complications in their watches if
you go back in history there's the mystery piece which is it's just phenomenal even see the entire
movement is created in the rotor don't know how they did it but they did so there's some really
special ones we have special ones here today as well the Rotonde actually of course is the
French word for rotunda which is the beautiful architectural dome that you see in so much
architecture around Paris Cartier always has a nod back to their Paris connections and their history
and where they came from and so really that's the nod to the architectural design and the style and
the beauty of the watches what I love about these is that they are definitely dress watches can be
worn I would say all the time you know me I always wouldn't put on a dress watch with a pair of jeans
and a t-shirt and see the guys doing the same but these are just extraordinary pieces that are in a
little bit of a larger size let me show you what we have today I picked out a couple of pairs you
can wear his and hers if you want or you can just have one of each and switch around because today
we've actually picked out some that are in rose gold white gold and I even have a stainless steel
one so a lot of options for you the other thing is that you'll really appreciate these in the solid
gold watches we don't talk about price very often on our videos but these dress watches in 18 karat
rose gold or white gold are phenomenally priced I mean you want to talk about a great value this is
the place to come so many many more reasons to see these watches but let's start so this this
particular collection very simple very beautiful 18-carat rose gold this is a manual wind it has an
eight day power reserve which is the indication at 6 o'clock the aperture date window at the top very
iconic Cartier they always stick to what they're known for what's so elegant the silver flinque
dial the black Roman numerals blue steeled hands stunning not very thick case easy to wear elegant
beautiful this is the same timepiece actually also in white gold so very very similar manual
wind this one in fact has an exhibition back on it really beautiful with the eight day power
reserve this one your date window is down here at 8 o'clock in the aperture so beautiful timepieces
this one has your Breguet hands just the details the more you look at it the artistry are stunning
all of these actually do also have the beaded crown on it with the blue spinel cabochon
at the crown so very very stunning eight-day power reserves mechanical manual wind stunning
timepieces so this one we're going to move on is very fun in that this is your GMT so this one is
your retrograde GMT your second hand is up here at the top near 10 o'clock this you don't see a
retrograde GMT timepiece that often this one again is well done this one is in rose gold
and this one I really love I think it's a lot of fun so you kind of get the perfect balance this
is stainless steel and you can even see that it has one of the sportier rubber straps on it you
don't see that as often with Cartier so it's a little bit of a surprise this is the kind
of perfect stainless steel elegant looks great goes everywhere but a little sportier as well
so a lot of fun in this particular piece both of these also have exhibition backs
the true sta tpday they're all stunning but this one is extraordinary so of course Cartier is known
for always kind of leading the way in trends probably setting trends that before they were
and that's the case for this one this particular one was introduced in 2015 this is the 2015 model
in fact a couple of unique things about it right now you call us you want a blue dial
watch we might have one but they go really quickly blue dials are probably the hottest
thing in the hottest trend right now Cartier again well before the timing and the craze of
the blue dials created this extraordinary dress watch blue dial but what makes this so special
it's a chronograph you don't typically see a chronograph in a dress watch and they've
done this in a way that's very very elegant the squared pushers on the side are very very
subtle they're not bulky they don't take away the beauty of the watch at all as far
as the chronograph pushers of course your same classic beaded crown and blue spinel cabochon
blue dial this particular one is white gold and what makes this in particular very very special
they don't make this anymore this is number 11 of 300. very exclusive very very limited edition
piece it is numbered on the back I'll show you but I want to talk about the front for a minute as
well the other things they've done on this again with this blue dial still is beautiful Breguet
hands it's classic Roman numerals but just to make it a little more legible a little easier to read
they have these Roman numerals in white so very striking contrast from the blue dial to the white
Roman numerals chronograph time frame very very simple pushers as well the top is start and stop
start, stop and reset so very well done just simple elegant still chronograph in a dress
watch I personally love the chronographs I think these sub-dials make this an interesting timepiece
and to have that on a dress watch you don't see it very often the exhibition back I'll show you also
beautiful now this one's an automatic movement the other ones that we had were manual wind on
the first power reserve pieces this is an automatic so very special timepiece it's
number 11 of 300 it won't be here long blue dial it's 2015 box and papers I mean just
such a special piece had to share it with you this morning all of these the Cartier Rotonde
