Boring. Ok, the Astrotourbillion is interesting but I'm not really interested in the rest.

Wife prefers hers over her Rolexes. Cartier makes a very nice watch and their service dept is top notch. Maybe the best.

Agreed. They just don't do anything for me

I should amend my statement. I'm very interested in vintage Cartiers.

Me soooo want that watch.

Why, oh why are they not commercializing it. It's just one big stinkin' tease!

I like that one. Probably since it lacks the boring white Roman numeral face that every other Cartier has.

Aesthetics aside, this is simply the most interesting technological platform I've seen.

Cartier has issued the challenge...can PP, Rolex, AP, others be fast followers and produce anything close to this level of achievement? Only time will tell.

I like Cartier in geenral..their Santos 100 ADLC, and a host of other Santos, are one heck of a watch, and so are a host of other CPCP watches

just check out the following few...they make exceptional watches :)

I've tried to like Cartier. Some reason I like companies which make watches and watches only
