SIHH 2010 Cartier Caliber Collection

Among the many many watches coming online at Perpetuelle.com’s Official SIHH 2010 Forum, here’s another that caught my eye this morning – the Cartier Caliber collection.  We saw only a teaser of this one leading up to the SIHH event, and now seeing it the first time I would say that Cartier seems to have done a nice job with this one and this is an entirely new collection from the jewellery brand who seems quite serious on establishing itself as a very credible watch brand beyond just fashion.

This watch is nicely shaped, not too big, not too small, IMO – 42mm.  The watch has Cartier’s Caliber MC 1904 which they say is “the first self-winding mechanical movement crafted entirely by Cartier.”  I’m not a big fan of the “exposed date” feature where you see the day before/after, but otherwise it looks solid to me.

There are 3 variations, but I strongly prefer the 2 pictured below over the third (you can see all these variations as well as their technical specifications and Cartier’s eloquent press release if you click over to Cartier’s SIHH forum thread, here).

    It might sound strange, but this watch reminds me of Rolex and Panerai. Probably because of the bulky lugs and the big crown-protector. Looks great imho and I love the 8 (or is it 6) sided crown.

    Best,

      RJ – yea, I think it has appeal and hope to see it in the steel sometime soon

    I on the other hand don’t like it.

    And why..couse the case is a sporty type for me, but the dial is classic-retro style.
    It’s not working for me…

      LukasD-well we don’t always agree on our watch choices, but that means you will get those you like and I will get mine and we will never be fighting for the same one ;-) I would buy something than a Cartier anyway if I had the choice!
