Cartier Ballon Bleu 42mm watch, round stainless steel case (42mm diameter x 13mm thick), stainless steel fluted crown set with a blue spinel cabochon, stainless steel link bracelet, silvered opaline guilloche dial with blued steel hands and black Roman numerals, #049 Caliber self-winding mechanical movement, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, water resistant to 30 meters.The Cartier Ballon Bleu is round on the top and round underneath, but if you look closer, you?ll see that its shape is somewhat more complex: a watch that seems to fit the wrist weightlessly, as if the two were already acquainted. Masculine? Feminine? Cartier plays with the shapes. Close up, the Ballon Bleu surprises. The winding mechanism is decorated with a sapphire cabochon, around which the dial orbits, and is more imposing than ever before due to a precious metal protective arch. With soft curves reminiscent of a pebble and a case that is rounded on both sides, the style is somewhere between classic and futuristic. The glass magnifies the numbers and distorts time. The Roman numerals, displaced by the winding mechanism, stray from their usual path. The guilloche dial, the sword-shaped hands, the links of solid gold or solid brushed steel for the bracelet?at first glance, the latest model from the House of Cartier joins Cartier?s horology galaxy of time, with one exception. Cartier Ballon Bleu? There is something unfamiliar about the name, a promise of a new horology planet. With its diffracted roundness, extra-blue winding mechanism, and elliptical profile, the Cartier Ballon Bleu watch draws a line between past and future, between what we know and what we would like to know about the universe and time. The Ballon Bleu is available in 3 case sizes (29, 37, and 42mm diameters) in steel, steel and gold, yellow gold, pink gold, and white gold with metal bracelet. The Ballon Bleu also comes in versions that are embellished with diamonds. The Cartier Ballon Bleu is equipped with a quartz movement in the 28mm size and a self-winding mechanical movement in the 36 and 42mm sizes, and it is water resistant up to a depth of 30 meters.
