Will the 'Cle de Cartier' live up to my expectations?Cartier made huge progress making use of their own calibers during the last Nine years. Complication after complication was presented with the SIHH in Geneva and i believe I will be directly in praoclaiming that using the launch in the new Cle de Cartier watch - powered by their new automatic 1847MC movement - the total of 'Made by Cartier' calibers reaches over 40 now.Cartier has since the beginning of 1900 a beautiful collection of watch cases, that the majority are still in production. Most of them however, were rectangle or square shaped and also since an increasing number of calibers with complications are produced by Cartier, the need for round mens cases, to deal with these calibers, became more urgent. On top of that, men generally speaking apparently want a round shaped watch over a rectangle timepiece.Cartier launched the Rotonde de Cartier and the Ballon Bleu last 2006, the Calibre this season and surprised us again once you get your design in 2015.Six months ago with the SIHH in Geneva, Cartier presented the new bracelet model Cle de Cartier because the new watch for males and women. 'La Maison' followes again a similar marketing approach as it did using the Ballon Bleu watch.The Ballon Bleu however turned out to be widely used among women, then among men, although there are a few really excellent mens (complication) models as series.That's not me a fantastic fan of the uni-sex approach, but it seemed that Cartier has long been very successful in past times, with their models that were targeted at both sexes. The Tank Francaise as well as the Panthere, to list two older models, did perfectly among people.While ladies tend to wear any watch that like, today, no matter whether it's a ladies or a mens watch, men usually don't dare to wear replica watches which can be not big enough. The trend for really large replica watches is luckily on its return and i'm glad that Cartier was fast in choosing to launch the Cle de Cartier in the moderate and comfy 40mm case watches , a few things i think is a great size for most men. The version in 35mm would even suit lots of men well too and the 31mm is a ladies watch. In this little 18cm wrist the Cle de Cartier watch looks and feels excellent. The design just isn't showy as the Ballon Bleu, but is certainly more serious and discrete. And once the wintertime is approximately the corner, you can easily provide the bracelet changed for just a leather strap with deployant buckle, that can provide the watch an extremely different look. Coupled with a black alligator strap, it can look awesome having a nice suit and shirt.The Cle de Cartier is often a contrasting beast. The watch case has strong and masculine lines and from the style point of view it may have already been designed Four decades ago, it can possess a certain new retro look. The crown with its quadratique and rectangle sapphire emphasises the masculinity with the overal design much more. Much like the Ballon Bleu, Santos Galbee and Panthere, fake replica imitation watches the Cle de Cartier was made on the bracelet and this reveals. The integration between the watch case plus the bracelet is flawless. The hyperlinks of the bracelet move very smoothly as well as the closure is blind again, like Cartier i was able to before. A really good decision, considering that the pushers around the bracelet in the Calibre and 42mm Ballon Bleu, were definately not elegant, to put it mildly. Considering that the very early years, Cartier has become praised because of its bracelet design and I am thrilled how the La Maison goes back to its roots.The dial is rich and classic, precisely what we predict from Cartier. It can be partly round, nevertheless the inner part is formed like a key hole. The fast Roman numerals along with the pleasant guilloche provide the normal Cartier look. Unfortunately the model was required to use a date window and that's at six and fits well in the design, so how cool would this watch be, devoid of the date window as well as the word automatic!The Cle de Cartier could be the first model featuring that new 1847MC automatic caliber. While in the past the brand relied, because of this family of replica watches, on movements given by ETA, La Maison now has designed a new caliber for many with their replica watches. The 1847MC incorporates a power reserve of 42 hours as well as the diameter has a smaller footprint compared to 1904MC automatic caliber, that produces this new movement great for small models in Cartier's catalogue, just like the Santos Galbee or medium-sized Ballon Bleu, which might be still powered with ETA calibers.For the the 'Time Only' styles of the Cle de Cartier will be accepted from the markets, More than likely the Cle will may future with a lot of variations. Especially the 40mm case is great for complications. Personally I am unable to wait to find out the initial Cle de Cartier models having a chronograph-, flying tourbillon or perpetual calendar movement. It is always too soon to for see whether which will happen, cheap rolex replicas but my expectations are high!This article was authored by long-time Cartier expert George Cramer for Fratello Watches.
