The central chronograph complication, a rare arrangement in which the chronograph seconds hand originates from the actual center of the dial, rather than a subdial, makes this watch unique in the luxury watch market. It is positioned as a watch for important occasions, such as formal dinners, business meetings, black-tie events, and celebrations where sophisticated elegance is crucial, thanks to its precious white gold construction and intricate complications.

Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. The slim, high-polished bezel and white gold case present a mirror-like finish, while the exhibition case back offers a clear view of the hand-wound movement within. The fluted crown, set with Cartier’s signature blue spinel cabochon, works in tandem with the chronograph pushers, all functioning as expected and maintaining their elegant polish. Fitted with a black alligator leather strap, the watch is secured by a high-polished white gold tang buckle that delivers a comfortable fit, worthy of both formal occasions and fine watch collections.

Functions include hours, minutes, and a central chronograph counter. The minute hand can be adjusted using the pull-out crown on the right side of the watch. With 120 clicks per rotation and two pull positions for time setting, its fluted crown offers smooth winding. The two polished white gold chronograph pushers provide pleasing tactile feedback with clear clicks that indicate engagement.

Comes as a full set, double-boxed, including the watch pillow and the certificate of authentication in a holder.

Although steel sports watches receive more attention from the general public, astute enthusiasts understand that this alludes to true haute horlogerie—a manufactured movement, column-wheel chronograph, and creative central seconds arrangement carried out using Cartier’s unique design language. It is ideal for collectors who value exclusivity through limited production rather than artificial scarcity, who prefer subtle distinction over ostentatious display, and who are looking for timepieces that exhibit horological expertise beyond popular trends.
