An addition to Cartier’s Fine Watchmaking range for SIHH 2013 is the Rotonde de Cartier Perpetual Calendar Chronograph. Using the 1904CH MC in-house movement with the addition of a perpetual calendar module, the new Rotonde fills a niche that was empty till now.

The case diameter is 42 mm. Two metals are available, white gold with a classic silver dial (about EUR53,500) or rose gold with a chocolate dial (about EUR50,000).

Notably the movement finishing has been improved compared to earlier iterations of the 1904 MC movement used in the Fine Watchmaking line. The calibre now sports a monochromatic, sunray brushed finish on the bridges, along with prominent polished and bevelled edges. – SJX
