The Breitling Watch Source Forums

What do you guys think about this watch? I am not a Cartier fan but this watch looks awesome. It's Cartier's first true high end in house movement. No one is really sure if the components were provided to them or if they were made in house but none the less it looks great to me. What do you all think?

looks nice more on the dressy side but im assuming thats what youre looking for.

As Roff said in the thread on this same watch a month or so ago, I'm just sure on the mix of roman numerals and batons. I'd also like a bracelet option.

With the exception of the multi-date window, I like it a lot!

I think it's a very nice looking piece, but manufacturer or not, I don't think I could get past the Cartier label. I know they make great watches but they're still a clothing and perfume brand to me. Perhaps my view will change over time.

my work software is caps only, if i am doing work and come on here, its in caps, get over it

I liked it at first sight. But in looking at the romans and batons (particularly the style of the batons vs the style of the romans) it seems a tad schizophrenic. I am pretty sure that would bug me.

I don't object to romans with batons per se - the older dial Cockpit works well IMO.

Perhaps if the batons weren't gray filled.

Hi All!

On The Last Very Similar Thread I Stated The Following & Still Feel The Same About "Cartier Calibre" (I Cut & Pasted From My Previous Comment On Like Thread.)

Hi All!

I like the Cartier Calibre a lot! Additionally, in recent years Cartier has gone from a fashion statement to a true watch Manufacturer – just don’t say that to Patek Philippe. Cartier was able to gain the Geneva Seal largely due to acquisition – they bought facilities from Roger Dubuis & I read somewhere that it was rumored that Roger Dubuis actually made the Cartier Calibre like a private label for Cartier.

Apart from all this nonsense there is a similarity between the Cartier Calibre and Roger Dubuis Excalibur Series therefore maybe there is something to the rumor - lol. I personally, see the Cartier Calibre as an economical or Yugo version of a Roger Dubuis Excalibur. Oh I almost forgot as for Patek Philippe they were so incensed by Cartier and others that were able to get the Geneva Seal without earning it (Patek Phillipe feelings toward the subject) that they created their own seal and it is worth mentioning that Patek Phillipe was the bedrock of the Geneva Seal for over a century and a half!

I would buy the Cartier Calibre I like it & their customer service is impeccable! Before I knew anything about watches I bought a Cartier Must21 quartz & whenever I had an issue I would just walk into the 5th Avenue boutique here in NYC and the issue was resolved - they even offered loaner watches lol. Just in case we not familiar with the Must21 it is one of their least expensive watches & I was treated just the same as if it would of been the Tank Americaine (large - its mechanical, not quartz like it's smaller siblings).

Cheers,

Enezdez



Cheers & Happy New Year!
