Cartier Masse Mysterieuse (2022)
  • Cartier has always been known to their mystery clock, mystery tourbillons, this year they have launched the Masses Mystérieuse – the whole movement swings as the rotor.
  • Staying on theme with the mystery factor, you don’t see the connection between the hands and the movement – in this case the center pivot is visible.
  • However, the illusion is the movement swinging with the motion of the wrist, giving an almost “winding rotor” like action.
  • The watch case is in PT950 platinum at 43.5mm.
  • Ruby cabochon completes the iconic signature.
  • The automatic bi-directional winding movement is the all new 9801MC, that took a whopping 8 years of development; to the untrained eye, this maybe not seem like a complicated feat, but to those who understands haute horlogerie, this is not a simple task that Cartier managed to achieve; elegance, complexity and staying on point to the brands DNA.
  • Power reserve is 42 hrs Limited to 30pcs.
  • Priced at 250,000€
