Cartier had the largest collection at SIHH, even compared to previous years. In terms of breadth as well as individual complications Cartier presented one of the most impressive collections at the fair.

It’s a long way to the end so we will start with the easy bits. The Calibre de Cartier, launched in 2010 as Cartier’s sporty masculine watch, now has a matching bracelet. Though the bracelet profile echoes the curves of the case, I find it reminiscent of the Rolex Oyster. But regardless of what I think Cartier will still sell very many of these.

But Cartier sells even more Ballon Bleu and one of the notable additions to that range is the Ballon Bleu Extra Flat. Being very slim but 46 mm wide, this seems almost razor sharp. Though not part of the Fine Watchmaking range this is an upper end watch that would have been in the Collection Privee Cartier Paris had it not been discontinued. I believe the movement is a Frederic Piguet calibre. The blue dial version in platinum is limited to 99 pieces.

Also new for 2011 is the Ronde Louix Cartier XL with eccentric seconds at 10 pm, a dead giveaway for the Piaget movement inside. I never liked the 10 o’clock seconds on the Piaget and I still don’t like it here. This is available in several dial variations, including the basic silver-tone guilloche, but for some reason I only have photos of the diamond pave dial

Cartier presents a slew of jewellery watches each year so we’ll just cover a few highlights. First is a couple from the Cirque de Animalier range: a bird, a lizard and a turtle.

A Chinese motif secret watch that flips open to reveal the time.

Aside from the Fine Watchmaking range, which will be covered further down, Cartier also beefed up its Metier d’Art collection. As the name suggests, the watches are decorated with a variety of artisanal techniques – enamelling, marquetry and mosaic.
Demonstrating a rarely seen enamelling technique, the Rotonde with bear motif has a dial of plique-à-jour paillonné enamel. Similar in principle to stained glass where the enamel is applied to a skeletonised frame, plique-à-jour paillonné enamel was first used by Cartier in the early 20th century but revived this year for this watch. The graduated tones on the dial are stunning and ethereal.
