The Ronde by Cartier showcased here embodies all the refined qualities that have defined the Maison’s watch and design legacy for over a century. Harmonious forms merge with distinctive elegance to create striking yet understated timepieces. This particular example features a thin circular case, small lugs, and a cabochon winding crown. Its unusual yet aesthetically pleasing bezel, engraved with Roman numerals in black enamel, adds a touch of sophistication to the wrist without being overly attention-grabbing. The engine-turned dial, adorned with fine lines, offers a stunning decorative effect, notably devoid of indexes except for the Cartier signature at 12 o’clock and the elegant feuille blue steel hands.
