If Rolex is the king in the world of watches, then Cartier must be the queen. Although Cartier already demonstrate its strong R&D capacity in developing cutting-edge watches such as the ID One Concept Watch, their traditional advantage is in making luxurious ladies’ watches. As we will see at the SIHH 2010, the Captive de Cartier watch is one such latest model showing Cartier’s incomparable sense in designing female watches.
Captive de Cartier features a very unconventional design with sharp contrast in size between the hour indexes and watch hands. The central dial is 35 mm in diameter, but the hour and minute hands were shrunk to a very small size that they look like a subsidiary dial. On the other hand, the most space of the dial is occupied by the radiant gem-set hour markers, which is mounted on a clean and sleek 18 carat rhodium plate in light gray.
The bezel, of course, is set with round diamonds in concert with the glittering hours. Besides, the watch is matched with a light gray brushed canvas, which looks very similar to a metal starp. The watch is water resistant to 30 meters, although probably no one will wear such a watch to go diving.
Overall, the Captive de Cartier light gray color theme with the unstinted use of glittering diamonds makes the watch like a ice rose in full bloom. It is indeed an ice queen at the SIHH 2010. If you want to melt a girl’s heart, Captive de Cartier may be the right option for you. The retail price of such watch is estimated for thousands of dollars.
