Cartier Drive De Cartier “Small Complexity” Gold Watch Review

At the 2016 SIHH show, Cheap Cartier Replica Watches launched the Drive de Cartier series of watches, and the relatively low-priced entry-level watches made many watch enthusiasts excited. Well, I spent some time using a watch close to the production line, in addition to the Fit Tourbillon model, Cartier’s “small complex” watch (Small complications). This watch falls on the “Dresier” side of the “De Cartia” driving line, and we have experienced it here.

In addition to emphasizing that this is a new Cartier men’s watch with some auto-designed aesthetic themes, I am not sure what the name “Drive” is, but the names of many watches are confusing. Anyway, this is a watch that I have been looking forward to for a while, and I am very happy to enjoy its successful execution. Not many people are very interested in the steel frame model, but I am even more curious that this model with only $20,000 is facing fierce competition from brands such as Piaget and Rolex.

First of all, I would like to discuss where Cartier’s Drive de Cartier product line is located on a larger scale within the Cartier Replica Watches brand itself. The launch of this watch has caused a lot of controversy, a large part of which is inseparable from the above viewpoint, that is, Cartier’s new watch for men, starting at more than 6000 US dollars. Brands such as Cartier and Bulgari are often seen as high-end “fashion homes” that cater to women’s clothing, jewellery and accessories. I won’t go into this topic in depth (although our Ariel Adams and James Stacey have discussed it here), but I think it’s ridiculous to avoid a brand for this reason.

Yes, Cartier has many iconic watches, such as the male and female Tank and Santos. However, many people think that the Tank line is too feminine, even though it is Kennedy’s preferred watch, as is Santos. Although I totally disagree with this attitude, I think the fact that Fake Cartier Watches introduces the driver line may mean that they have discovered the problem and solved it, which is more than the initiative of many brands.

As far as I am concerned, a brand is labeled as a “neutral” watch and I have no opinion. My girlfriend wears a lady Santos watch, which does not reduce or deprive me of my personal love for men’s watches, but that is me. I think I can understand that I don’t want to “see my parents” and find that you and your future mother-in-law love tanks. In any case, for those who want a Cartier, it has enough “manly” because of its loose relationship with the car, you can now test drive.

As I mentioned, Cartier’s drive range is brand new and has many options, such as the all-steel base version, which can be completed in just a few seconds, the golden tourbillon tourbillon model, and somewhere in between. product. This may not be anyone’s first watch, not a completely low producer, but the internal caliber 1904 – fu MC sports, handsome cushioning, and unique appearance as well as the Cartier Replica brand – this watch represents an order The convincing choice of buyers is a bit different but still complex and masculine.

I have never particularly liked watches, even for suit watches, I usually prefer low-key sports watches. However, I did find that the small complication of the Cartier-driven De Cartier watch is that its watch time is much longer for me than a gold watch worth more than $20,000.

Wow, reread the last sentence, I realized that I sounded like a huge tool, but I mean that most models and my personal choices are not always consistent. However, my feelings about this work are different. This watch has no inherited gold dress table, but it is not too far from the “drive” car’s inspiration, so it has become a fashionable watch, very suitable for wearing. Maybe it’s because it’s a new brand, and there’s no such thing as a watch that has always existed in my history.

Nowadays, the design and marketing of Siwss Cartier Watches is a bit “sporty”. This fact does not have much impact on this watch, so I will classify my watch more or less as a watch. . In addition, I want to clarify that the “dress watch” I said is for the purpose of this review. I mean something related to the tuxedo, not that you might see it on the wrist of a cautious executive. The kind of conservative thing. Or, once again, a grandfather.

Don’t blame me for making brand comparisons here, but I am doing this more for the purpose of metaphor than for establishing any connection. The difference between the different types of dress watches I mentioned is reflected in the comparison between the daily Rolex Datejust and the Rolex Cellini watches. Perhaps the Drive de Cartier series of Drive de Cartier is the golden mean between the two: not as ubiquitous as Rolex Datejust, but it doesn’t make you feel like wearing it every time. Go to the Philharmonic Orchestra or attend a national banquet.

I know some people say that they are not so interested in watches. Creating a three-tier naming system for them (well, at least three layers now) is crazy, but I do think it helps to understand the classification of watches. Some of the more unclear groups. Rolex Cellini is not a watch that makes me feel comfortable when I go out to eat a polo. However, I just used this Cartier to drive the small complex of Decadia, which feels completely natural. This is not a scientific study, but you already know it.

The Cartier Drive de Cartier small complex watch is powered by the internal Cartier-made sports 1904-FU MC, which can be seen through the back showcase. For some people, the name “small complex” can be a bit confusing, but it positions the watch between “classic” parts (only time, date windows, etc.) and large complex parts. A big complicated watch is another story, but a big complex usually contains an astronomical complex (for example, a perpetual calendar), a chime complex (such as a minute repeater), and a stopwatch function (such as a timer). These are all at a completely different tabulation level, not a completely relevant understanding of this watch, but I want to put a small complex part in the background.

The Cartier Drive de Cartier small complex watch features a large date window, a retrograde secondary time zone indicator, and a day and night indicator indicating the secondary time zone AM or PM. It led to a rather busy dialing, my eyes were not concentrated between the guillotine modes, all those complicated, and the big Roman numerals surrounded the face. In any case, this watch has a 48-hour power reserve, which is indeed a shortcoming I found. Maybe I should have at least one power-off indicator, which I originally thought was the second time zone indicator, which was actually just a 12-hour dial.

The internal 1904-FU MC Automated Mobile is an improved version of their now ubiquitous internal 1904-PS MC with 28 gems. To be honest, on the surface, from the end of the case, this is not much. It should be noted that at 4Hz it will not dizzy you with a very smooth sweep of the second hand. Considering that the steel model of this watch is priced at about $8,750, this is an internal quality reliable watch, Cartier’s movement is transparent.

Large dates are easy to interpret because it is easy to tell the date by two date windows at 12 o’clock. I really, really like this feature of the watch, like the almost striking window frame. The second time zone is 11 o’clock, and the day/night time is 4 o’clock, letting you know whether it is night or morning. The dual time zone is easy to play. By pressing the crown, you can advance for an hour at the same time, while pushing the sun or moon on the day and night indicator. I did not accidentally press the crown once or twice, which is annoying, but it is basically my fault.

The Cartier Drive de Cartier is 41 mm wide and 40 mm long, apparently designed to appeal to as many viewers as possible. I think they used it to make a home run. This cushioning shape provides a solid presence for people like me who are more comfortable in the range of 42mm or more and can adapt to more conservative preferences. I believe it is only 12.65 mm thick, so it can be placed under the sleeves and looks less fragile. Basically, the size and comfort of wearing is not a problem for me.

The watch is still comfortable enough for the crocodile belt, but the button may be easier to use and how easy it is to get the block. At the same time, this is not the fault of the watch itself, but in the big hand I have to do squeezing my fingers and thumb to let the watch fall off, especially harder than most watches I wear. However, the overall quality of the strap is good enough.

What I want to say is the position of the Cartier-driven De Cartier small complex watch in the larger market. This simple steel watch may appeal to Piaget’s market for Polo watches released earlier this year. In fact, both cars are cushioned for younger markets, but Cartier is a few thousand dollars cheaper. For this Cartier Drive de Cartier small complex watch, I think Piaget Emperador ref. GOA32017 in pink gold provides a clear direct competitor. With the same features and a cushion-shaped outer casing, Piaget sells for nearly $7,000 and sells for $29,300. The Girard-Perregaux 1966 Double Time Edition will not give you a cushioned dial for $26,300. In fact, Rolex has launched a low-priced but far-off “exquisite” watch, priced at 18,500 Swiss francs.

Therefore, compared to the Cartier brand, those brands that have “watch street reputation” have many choices, but when you compare the model I reviewed with other models, I think their pricing is just right. In fact, if the $40,000 Vacheron Constantin River Stanton Harmony Time is a bit too expensive, the price is almost half of it.

I am looking forward to hearing what people who own this watch will think, so if you are outside, be sure to leave your thoughts. Overall, I think Cartier is at least as good as the Swiss watchmakers I mentioned earlier, and this watch proves their steady progress in finishing and internal movement. So, the gold price of $22,700 for the Cardia Drive Decadia Small Complex Watch is correct and you will expect to pay when considering direct market competition. The price of the steel model is expected to be much cheaper at $8,750. For Cartier, it is a bit difficult to see the logo of this lane, because there is a huge difference between the cheaper models and similar models, but I really want to see if they will take it. Where are you going? I will also invite readers to give their thoughts again, because I am really curious to read the thoughts of all of you.

Cartier Rotonde De Cartier Mysterious Watches For 2018

There are still a few months before the launch of the 2018 SIHH watch, but we have heard about some new watches coming soon. Today, we have a pair of Cartier Replica mysterious watches – Cartier’s mysterious day and night, the mysterious double tourbillon of Cartier’s mysterious skeleton.

The mystery of these mysterious watches actually came from the mysterious clocks that Cheap Cartier Replica Watches invented in the early 20th century. These watches are striking because (the spoiler warns) their hands are fixed on a clear disc, and the gear-driven devices are just outside the line of sight, giving the impression that they float on the dial. This iconic look has been adopted by some Cartier watches, which are interesting to watch.

The mysterious day and night of Rotonde de Cartier is available in 40mm 18k pink or white gold boxes. Cartier Replica Watches fans will be pleased to know that this watch is also equipped with the brand’s iconic blue sapphire cabochon crown. Waterproof rating is 30m.

The dial is divided into two halves. The upper part shows the complexity of day and night, and also shows the time from 6 o’clock to 6 o’clock in 12 hours. During the day, the sun appears on the dial and moves from left to right. These hours are only read by observing the position of the sun on a 12-hour scale. When the night falls, the moon will appear, lasting 12 hours from left to right. The lower half of the dial has a radiating guillotine pattern in the center and a retrograde minute display.

The mysterious day and night of Rotonde de Fake Cartier Watches is powered by the internal hand roll caliber 9982 MC, which can be seen through the sapphire display box. It consists of 174 components with a tempo of 4 Hz and a power reserve of at least 48 hours.

The second watch, Cartier’s mysterious double tourbillon watch is based on the mysterious double tourbillon watch released by SIHH in 2013. The cabinet measures 45 mm wide and is only suitable for white gold. For those who want to be a little more shiny, there are two additional versions, one with a paved diamond frame and the other with a paved diamond case and movement.

Skeletonization is a widely misunderstood art, and I don’t think many people realize how difficult it is to extract materials from movement while maintaining proper aesthetics and structural integrity. In the case of Cartier’s mysterious skeleton mysterious double tourbillon, the bridge was subtly skeletal and shaped into Roman numerals. In addition, the skeletal movement further emphasizes the action of the dual-flying tourbillon.

Here, the Shuangfei tourbillon rotates around the mysterious dial every 60 seconds. Therefore, it is also a second indicator. When it does, it makes a second rotation every 5 minutes. Above the tourbillon, the time and minutes of the two blue sword-shaped steel hands are read.

The mysterious twin tourbillon of the Rotonde de Cartier is powered by the caliber 9465 MC. It consists of 286 components with a tempo of 3 Hz and an energy reserve of at least 52 hours. It also passed the Poincon de Geneve certification, which means that the sport must meet stringent standards in terms of its decoration and materials. In short, I hope that this movement will end skillfully.

We hope that SIHH will see more of these two watches in early 2018. The Cartier Mystery Day and Night Watch is priced at $63,000. Cartier’s mysterious “Tourbillon” watch is priced at $216,000. If you want a rim with a diamond-encrusted border, the price is $324,000, and the diamond-covered edging and movement costs $530,000. Each variant of the Swiss Cartier Watches mysterious skeleton mysterious double tourbillon watch is limited to 30 pieces.

Cartier Santos Observation Review: New Model In 2018

In 2004, Cartier released the previous generation of the “Santos 100” series of watches, in honor of the 100th anniversary of the birth of this watch. A few years ago, I reviewed the Cartier Santos 100 on aBlogtoWatch, which is still full of affection, but will be detailed later. Today my focus is on the new “Santos de Cartier” model, which was released in early 2018. Cheap Cartier Replica Watches hopes that the new Santos watches will be available shortly after the watch’s launch (which is not common in the watch industry), and early reports show that the new Santos watches are selling strongly. The specific model I reviewed was the Cartier Santos reference W2SA0006, which has a two-tone steel and 18k yellow gold case, and a larger 39.8mm case (Cartier also produces a smaller 35.1mm wide new Santos version).

There is a lot to say about Cartier Santos in 2018. I have discussed a lot of details and highlights about the overall collection of aBlogtoWatch in this article. In that article, you’ll read more about the available models (and their prices) and what Cartier Replica Watches is trying to achieve with the new Santos series. This review will be based on a discussion of Santos in my previous article, such as the article above, connected to the Santos 100 review.

In this article, I also showed some pictures of the new Cartier Santos W2SA0006 watch, and I think it is the model of the previous generation of this watch (this watch is not common due to its limited distribution channels), that is, Santos 100 W200728G. The previous watch was not common because it offered a complete bracelet, not just a strap, and most of the straps of the Santos 100 are equipped with a strap. I found the comparison of these two watches very interesting because you can clearly see the similarities and differences in the model.

Let me summarize the main highlights of the 2018 Cartier Santos watch. First, the case and bracelet are significantly thinner, and for some people, it may be more comfortable to wear (compared to the larger version of the previous generation, such as the Santos 100). There is also a new border design, which is not a big element, but it provides a fairly unique look for the new model. There is an internal automatic movement in the box, of course the biggest news is the quick release (Cartier called it “quick switch”) bracelet / strap system, and the toolless link replacement system (“SmartLink”), which allows you to quickly Easily adjust the bracelet without tools (assuming you have nails now).

My overall impression of the Cartier Santos model is very good. It has also been said that smaller models can also be worn as male watches, but I am sure that in the West, the vast majority of the 35.1 mm wide Santos models will be sold to women. In addition to size, the main difference between the larger Santos model and the smaller Santos model is the location of the date window display (existing on larger models but not on smaller models).

Compared to the previous generation of the Santos 100, the new 9.08 mm thick, thin Santos is more like a watch. Speaking of watches, “skinny is the most popular.” There is always a cyclical design trend, and this is not the first time a company has supported a thinner design than a larger one. If you are a person wearing sleeves, or if you usually like your watch to be more “special”, then the thinner shape of the new Cartier Santos watch will definitely appeal to you.

In steel, the new Santos case is 100 meters waterproof and elegantly curved sapphire crystals. This box works very well, with brushed and polished finishes. Inlaid in the crown is a blue spinel cabochon. Cartier Replica used the sapphire crystal cabochons, but now they only use them on high-end models. From a design perspective, you can see how similar the old and new Santos cases are. This includes most of the crown and geometric crown itself. This watch is available in all steel (or full pink or full gold), but I like watches in steel and 18k gold. One of the reasons is that the gold screws on the bracelet are more intense and add visual interest. The second is the same increase in contrast, thanks to the gold border.

In 2018, Cartier “completely” redesigned Santos’ iconic square frame, making it no longer square. The upper and lower parts of the frame are unfolded with the lips. The purpose seems to be a visual connection between the strap/bangle and the bezel. In the previous generation of the Santos 100, this was not the case, and the ear/bangle structure was actually larger and wider than the new Santos. The bracelet in the updated and older Santos model is a bit thin (this is good). The old Santos 100 has a bracelet that connects the box, 23 mm wide, and the bracelet is 21 mm wide on the new Santos mockup.

I will spend a lot of time talking about bracelets, because it is both a key part of this timepiece and an area that I think requires a lot of discussion. Part of the reason is that I don’t think that a new bracelet or an old bracelet will win a battle. In fact, Cartier (in my opinion) did not “replace” the older generation of Santos 100 with a new generation of models (although the old version was no longer technically produced). Instead, Fake Cartier Watches introduced a new Santos model that might be better suited to compete in today’s tough luxury watch market.

My favorite of the previous generation of Cartier Santos 100 was specifically for the new generation of models that I tried to leave in the past. The thick, masculine and elegant Santos 100 is not as versatile as the new generation, nor is it as diplomatic as the new generation. Still, I must say that I regret the decision to design a simpler deployment program for the new generation of models. The bracelet ends with a simple butterfly deployer. It’s great, but I don’t like the pushers that stand out under the bracelet like ears. What I really miss is the more complex deployment of the previous generation model. For these works, Best Cartier Replica Watches designed a more refined design that mimicked the aesthetic style of the case, including a golden plate.

Of course, the previous generation of bracelets did not have the same delicate design as Santos bracelets, while Santos’ bracelets included both QuickSwitch and SmartLink systems. Cartier is smart, with both bracelets and brown belts in the Santos car. Of course, you might buy an extra strap from Cartier, but with a proprietary strap connection system, you can’t use the strap in the watch’s aftermarket. This is not a big deal, because even if Cartier will charge you a bigger price for their shoulder straps, their quality is quite good.

I won’t talk about this topic, but if you’ve used the steel bracelet of Apple Watch, you know more or less how to use Cartier’s new bracelet system. It doesn’t matter whether Cartier is inspired by the Apple Watch bracelet, but what matters is that they are very similar. If you are not familiar with the Apple Watch link bracelet, let me tell you that although it is cheaper, it is of very high quality and is a source of inspiration for contemporary bracelets.

Cartier does have a small tool to help you adjust the bracelet, but you don’t really need it. In order to delete a link, you only need to press a small putter and then release the spring loaded needle. With your finger, you pull a little more pin to release the connection with the adjacent one. In just a few minutes, even a novice can adjust the size of their bracelet. That’s fine, but I want to know how often people adjust after the first time they adjust the size of the bracelet. This watch does not make people feel that its function is expensive, but users of this watch rarely use this well-designed SmartLink system, which may be a pity.

The QuickSwitch system on lugs is one of the many quick release systems available today. Cartier’s system is better than most, I mean the connection between the bracelet and the box is strong in quality and guarantee. I have used other similar quick release systems, although most are good, but some of them are worrying about how much they may age after multiple uses. You will use the QuickSwitch system to release the strap or strap when you need to swap the case. You will do this because it is both fun and helpful in mixing your watch style. Honestly, if you like the look of the strap and the color, then it makes sense to choose at least the straps of brown, black and grey. Yes, you need to buy some extra straps, but the result is a very simple way to make your watch as versatile as possible.

A few years ago, when I first reviewed Cartier Santos, it took me a long time to discuss how to make an effective square watch case design is a challenge. It is no accident that most watches have a round case. For me, the trick is to “stack” multiple square shapes together and add as much bending as possible to the square design. The frame rivets and screws do not hurt.

In fact, I think the border is part of the square box design. Surprisingly, this new version of the border does not really take away the elegance of the square case. Then there is the dial. This is a classic “Cartier” watch with a box of Roman numerals on the silvery milky white dial. At first glance, the previous generation is very similar to the current generation of dials, but after careful observation, you will find many differences. The most important part may be the hand.

The blue steel “sword” pointer is a symbol of the Cartier watch and now includes Santos. On the previous generation models, the hands were similar in shape but in different ways. The dial of this new Santos is actually larger, and proportionally, the time stamp is smaller. This means that there are more “blanks” on the dial compared to the previous model. Please note that the previous generation model did not have a date, and the new 39.8 mm wide Santos chassis version does have a date indication window (tidy at 6 o’clock).

If I have the chance, I can easily live with the current Santos dialer. I believe I have a little preference for the previous generation of dialers. Maybe just because I think the blue steel hands are a bit thin (although they are long enough), I hope they are a little wider. Similarly, the blue steel hands of the new Santos dial are more refined, while the older models are more sporty. Both dials have a “secret” Cartier name written on the 7-point Roman numeral time stamp.

The new generation Santos W2SA0006 is internally manufactured with the Cartier Caliber 1847 MC automatic mechanical movement. Unfortunately, this action is not visible through the backshell window – although that might be a good touch. The sport runs at 4 Hz and has a power reserve of about 2 days. Since I am used to comparing the new Santos with the previous generation Santos 100, I would like to say that the former Santos model also has automatic mechanical movements, but those are provided by other Swiss companies such as ETA.

One of my favorite features of the Cartier Santos watch is that it is both simple and fun. As a watch, it is comfortable, providing familiar information and providing a relaxed, versatile wear and ownership experience. Its timeless design makes it work in a variety of environments, and it still has more communication capabilities than your standard round box dress watch. In addition to its unique case shape, Cartier’s screws and classic branded dials help the watch be more individual than its competitors. Cartier has further succeeded in making the new Santos watch more meaningful. The quick release bracelet/strap system, as well as the thinner casing configuration, make this watch even more compelling for more people these days. If there is any difference, it is that I like the previous generation of the Santos 100 XL, because its design is not all-encompassing, and there is a kind of acquired taste on the wrist. Cartier has launched this new generation of watches, the modernest men’s wear brand Santos watch. In addition, I can easily see that collectors have two generations of men’s Santos watches.

The real price offered by Cartier is the all-steel version of Santos Large, which is a reference to WSSA0009 and retails for $6,850. Two shades of style will make the price rise by a few thousand dollars, but you will see the cool look of steel and gold. As described in this article, the Santos de Cartier large model reference W2SA0006 retail price of $ 10,400.
