Rotonde de Cartier Minute Repeater Mysterious Double Tourbillon



The round case of the Rotonde de Cartier collection presents the ideal platform for a perfect dialogue between the iconic signatures of Cartier Fine Watchmaking.

The Rotonde de Cartier Skeleton Mysterious Hour watch showcases the mysterious movement of the Maison within the incomparable architecture of the Cartier skeleton. In the Rotonde de Cartier Minute Repeater Mysterious Double Tourbillon watch, another mysterious movement encounters the rhythmic spectacle of the Maison’s open-work minute repeater.

Cartier brings the aesthetic of its mysterious movement to one of the most demanding complications in the watchmaker’s repertoire: the minute repeater.

The Rotonde de Cartier watch combines the mysterious movement and this particular complication for the very first time, with impressive effect. In addition to the technical feat of assembling 448 parts in a case measuring a mere 11.15 mm, the timepiece is aesthetically stunning. The open- work mechanism and contrasting black rhodium plating expose the transparency of the mysterious double tourbillon, and reveal the steady rhythm of the minute repeater on demand.
