Cartier Cadran Love Tourbillon - SIHH 2012

Another brand has allowed us to take an inside look at their upcoming models. Today I have a pleasure to present Cartier’s Cadran Lové Tourbillon watch, which is going to be officially unveiled at theSalon International de la Haute Horlogerie 2012 (SIHH), in Geneve, next year. The exbition will take place from 16th to 20th January 2012. Nineteen watch brands will present their new products at the show, and Cartier is certainly one of them.


The architecture of the new Cartier Cadran Lové Tourbillon watch strongly reminds us of one of their old tourbillon models, the renowned haute joiallerie Crocodile Tourbillon, developed for SIHH 2011. Both watches use the same Cartier Calibre 9458 MC, that has been inverted so that the tourbillon appears like it is floating above the dial. Beautiful tourbillon case is graced with a letter “C”, which is an insignia of the brand.



Instead of sparkling white diamonds, used for its feminine predecessor, Cartier Cadran Lové Tourbillon Watch is a robust masculine piece that boasts beautifully sculptured irregular-sized Roman numerals along the left side of the rim. The watch is crafted in white gold and comes in 46.2mm wide round case. It offers 50 hours of power reserve and features a luxurious black alligator leather strap.

Cartier Cadran Lové Tourbillon watch is offered in a limited numbered edition of 100 exemplars.
