The Cartier Santos

This year marks 125 years sincehttp://www.syrauto.com/best-cartier-ballon-bleu-w69013z2-replica-watches-6r3w.html opened up his first watch and jewellery shop in Lucerne and launched the Art-Deco-inspired ladies’ watch collection. This was a revolutionary development since Carl Friedrich Bucherer was one of the first to focus on the wristwatch, still very much an innovation at the time.Where men’s watches were concerned, complex functions were much in demand in the 1930s and they introduced a model with a jumping hours display indicated via a disk called the "http://www.syrauto.com/best-cartier-santos-100-extra-large-w20131y1-fake-watch-2x4f.html’s” and this was another important watch.

Indeed over the years Cartier http://www.syrauto.com/elegant-cartier-santos-galbee-xl-w20098d6-aaa-watches-7m8h.html has created watches ranging from chronometer certified models, chronographs and diving watches to more complicated models such as perpetual calendar models eventually to such important modern development as the creation of the Santos manufacture movement in 2008 demonstrating the brand’s innovative strength (pictured below). However this new model, the Santos Limited Edition is to be introduced into the highly regarded Santos collection and will be the brands first Toubillon and will commemorate the 125th anniversary.

Incidentally Cartier is part of the larger Bucherer family including the major Swiss watch retailer, and it wasn’t until 2001 that the watches were produced with ‘Cartier’ on the dial. The modern brand known as ‘Cartier’ established itself with the introduction of the well recieved Santos collection in 2001. They have since gone on to develop a research and production center for the design and development of in-house movements located in in Ste-Croix.Cartier’s watchmakers have loaded several other complications into the new model apart from the tourbillon, but despite being filled with functionality the design of the dial manages to retain clarity and is therefore easy to read.

The tourbillon, which is featured in an opening at 6 o’clock on the dial is understandably the central attraction and also serves as the seconds indicator. As an alternative to to the more commonplace date disc a peripheral 31-day scale surrounds the dial using a centre-mounted hand to indicate the date. You can read the 31 markers easily and the numerals on the scale change their orientation at 3 o’clock and again at 9 o’clock for improved legibility at a glance.Displaying the time on a 24-hour scale is a sub-dial at 12 o’clock and the movement’s uncommonly long power reserve of 70 hours is shown on the semicircular scale at 9 o’clock. The tapered hours and minutes hands wedge-shaped hour markers are typical of the Santos line.

The bold tourbillon bridge is in contrast to the more delicate aspects of the dial , with the use of multiple complications and a tourbillon aperture Cartier’s designers endeavoured for clarity and small circular markers next to the indices help enhance the readability despite the lack of lume presence. The use of the elegant typeface was also used for clarity and is typically found on other Cartier watches.

Described by Cartier as emphasizing "classical elegance” the in-house made, manually wound Cartier T1001 Tourbillon movement measures 33mm in diameter and has a height of just 6.2mm. It has a power reserve of 70 hours and features the time, 24 hour indicator (AM/PM indicator), date, tourbillon, and a power reserve indicator.
