Cartier Santos-Dumont Micro-Rotor Watch

When Santos asked Louis Cartier to create a wristwatch he could wear while flying his early planes, the 1904 Cheap Cartier Santos Replica became one of those wristwatches that helped popularize the genre among men who at the time considered wristwatches women’s jewelry.

Cartier has embraced lubrication-free watch movement components at a relatively early stage and has experimented with a great variety of outlandish mechanical movement developments — just think of the vacuum-sealed ID2 from over a decade ago that relied, according to the brand, on not silicon but “carbon crystal” movement parts.

The polished bezel adds to the presence of the watch, as do the relatively long lugs and almost ridiculously large crown with the trademark Cartier Replica Watches Discount Forum cabochon sticking out like the pommel on an over-decorated sword of an 18th-century royal. It’s gaudy, borderline tacky, but also an essential element of Cartier watches.

The case measures just 8.8mm-thick, which is not ultra-thin by any stretch of the imagination but slender enough to allow the Santos-Dumont watch to offer dressy proportions and a tendency to crawl under a cuff or sleeve.

The Santos case might look complex with all the various surface treatments and the many tiny screw-heads sticking out but on the Cartier Santos-Dumont Micro-Rotor Replica Watches Lowest Prices, it actually serves as a straight-forward frame for a very busy-looking movement.

The dial, although we can hardly call it that, is actually the dial-side plate of the movement that carries a number of jewels in some places and drilled holes in others to reveal jewels installed in plates at a lower tier of the 9629MC Cheapest Cartier Replica Watches caliber. The dial has strips of various widths cut into the metal and then filled with black lacquer, these serve as the hour markers at 9, 10, 11, 12, 3, 4, 5, and 6 o’clock.

Cartier Adds More Color To The Santos And Santos-Dumont

Cartier watches are known for their characteristic dial designs. The most eye-catching feature must be those black lacquered Roman numerals on a stark white or silver background. But that doesn’t mean the designers at Cartier don’t know how to incorporate color into their watches.Well, this year, Cartier gives the Santos and Santos-Dumont Replica models a colorful treatment.

I love how the model combines the signature square dial with a sporty case while remaining so very elegant. A lot of the time, color can take away some of that elegance, and it can make a watch look less serious. But that’s certainly not the case with the watches we’re looking at today. On the contrary, even, the touches of color on the new Santos and Santos-Dumont models take their elegance to a whole new level.

Santos de Cartier

Let’s start with the more sporty Cheap Replica Santos de Cartier, simply because that’s the one I’m more familiar with.First of all, there is its square case design and that very pronounced bezel on top. Then there are the seven-sided crown, the numerous screws all over the bezel, and the extremely comfortable bracelet. It’s almost like Cartier is screaming at you, “This is a tool watch!” But of course, Cartier isn’t because, when you look at the watch on your wrist, it’s such a nice combination between sportiness and elegance.

The Large version (39.8mm wide) of the Santos de Cartier was already available with a deep blue sunburst dial.In addition, versions of the Cartier Replica Watches with a green sunburst dial will also be available in both sizes. Both the blue and green dials are covered with a tinted lacquer, which is applied by hand. This makes the colors look very classy rather than too loud. Both sizes are powered by the 1847 MC automatic movement, a 23-jewel caliber with 4Hz frequency and a 42-hour power reserve.

Santos-Dumont

The overall design of the Santos-Dumont is also one we already know very well. Last year, Cartier fake swiss watches launched the large Santos-Dumont in steel, rose gold, and platinum versions, each with a thin layer of black, cream, or red lacquer on top. This year, the colorful treatment is only applied to the Extra Large size (33.9mm wide) of the Santos-Dumont. But it’s not another layer of lacquer this time around.

The Santos-Dumont in rose gold is combined with green jade, while the platinum version is fitted with red jasper, and the yellow gold version has blue dumortierite Roman numerals. Of course, they all come on a matching alligator strap. The Replica watches China apple-style hands on this colorful series are powered by the hand-wound ultra-thin caliber 430 MC.

Cartier is releasing two new versions in that size in both two-tone (steel and gold) and full yellow gold. The first one features a sunburst gray dial, and the other has a sunburst dial in a very deep blue. Both tell you the time with beautifully polished gold hands that move over the matching gold Roman numerals.

Final words

I do really like the way they look, especially the ones with the colored Roman numerals and guilloché dials. It’s not as if Cartier Replica with 80% Discount simply added some color to existing references. The designers have put a lot of thought into the combination between the case material and the color of the numerals and the cabochon. As for the Santos de Cartier, I think the black-on-silver dial will always be my favorite. That said, I’m very much looking forward to trying on that green version.

The Best Cartier Replica Collection

Not only is this unique for any watch collection, let alone when compared to a stereotypical music star’s, it left me wondering how figures with such interests may influence tastes in the future. But first, let’s give a little more insight into the individual Luxury Cartier Replica pieces, The Creator’s collection.

Coullissant

The Coulissant is as much jewellery as it is a watch, allowing the wearer to completely obstruct the dial with a sliding piece of yellow gold. Its elongated case has obvious Art Deco inspiration in the louvres on either side of the Swiss Fake Cartier Watches dial, which also follows the design language, with its alternating round and rectangular indices. Owing to the shape of the case, the Coulissant, or Baguette, uses a LeCoultre Duoplan movement, wound by a horizontal crown located on the caseback.

Santos Dumont de Cartier

The Cartier Santos Dumont Replica is likely among the more “regular” pieces in Tyler’s collection, though he makes sure to snazz it up with a bright pink leather strap. I’m not certain of the reference that Tyler is sporting, though it does seem to be a very small size – my best guess is the reference 2787. With an 18k yellow gold case measuring 28mm x 30mm in size, it’s powered by a quartz movement, and is likely to have been produced during the ’90s or early noughties.

Baignoire

The first instance of an oblong Cartier appeared in 1912, a stretched-out iteration of a traditional round watch, which the team at Cartier Best Replica Watches In The World stretched out even further to create the Allongée – this is the same workshop that birthed the Pebble, Asymétrique and the famous Crash. The London outfit also made the regular Baignoire shape, which seems to be Tyler’s example.

Must de Cartier Tank

The 1:1 Replica Watches diminutive silver case measures in at 30mm x 22mm, the two-hander powered by a quartz movement. Tyler paired his with a loud green croc strap, and somehow it just works. I can only image how scuffed his piece is, considering that he cycles, swims and sweats while wearing his watches.

Petit Cylindre

Measuring in at 15mm x 33mm, it sports a LeCoultre Duoplan movement, just like the Coulissant, with the same horizontally positioned caseback crown. The strange case is suspended betwixt the ends of the strap by two block-like protrusions, with screw-bars securing the strap.

Tank Louis Cartier

Featuring a date complication at 3 o’clock, the dial has the instantly recognisable Cartier grade 1 Replica Watches numerals and miniscule, blued sword hands, separated by a railroad minute track. The case is yellow gold, and I’m fairly certain Tyler’s watch is the reference 2441, meaning a quartz movement and 25.5mm across.
