A belle looks more attractive when she is in revealing clothes. It seems Cartier’s designing team draw great inspiration from this simple aesthetic philosophy – this is my what I felt when I saw their newly released model: the stunning Rotonde de Cartier Flying Tourbillon Skeleton.
Cartier is really determined to enter the ranks of Haute Horlogerie. The Cartier Rotonde de Cartier Flying Tourbillon Skeleton is another masterpiece representing Cartier’s brand new image of high watchmaing after the Cartier ID One Concept Watch.
Totally different from Cartier’s previous iconic collections as Tank or Santos, the Rotonde de Cartier Flying Tourbillon employs the aesthetic skeleton dial design. Say, if Tank or Santo is a dowager wrapped in old-fashioned clothes, then the Rotonde de Cartier Skeleton must be an attractive young beauty in bikini.

Just like that a leggy and curvy belle should not wear too much clothes to cover her beauty, the Rotonde de Cartier Skeleton choose see-through skelton design to flaunt its amazing Flying Tourbillon.
The watch is cased in 45mm diameter stainless steel, with a 9455 MC manual winding movement. Located at six o’clock, the caliber was originally used in Roger Dubuis watches (Roger Dubuis and Cartier are both Richemont brands), but was thoroughly re-designed and improved to suit Cartier’s effort in developing high horology watches.

By the way, just like belles are scarce resource in the human society, such beautiful watch comes in limited numbers. The Cartier Rotonde de Cartier Flying Tourbillon Skeleton is only available in 100 pieces. For most of us, we can only watch and imagine how cool it is to wear such a stylish watch.
