Cartier makes some very classy watches. I would refer to these, not as “men’s watches,” but more as “gentlemen’s watches.” Indeed, Cartier is the taste of many a refined gentleman. The Cartier Santos Dumont Mens Watch W2006951 is no exception to the trend as it boasts elegant and classic features that have a certain distinguished quality to them.

On the shape of the watch, it has a square face with an exquisite leather alligator style bracelet. The overall effect of this is a contrast to the metallic nature of most watches and allows this watch to have a more earthy and natural look and feel to it. This is enhanced by the roman hour makers arranged around the face of the watch. It gives the timepeiece an ancient feel, as f part of some long standing and respectable tradition. And such a feeling is not far from the truth. In 1904, the prototype for this watch was given to the Brazilian pioneer aviator, Santos-Dumot, hence the name of the collection. The namesake for the watch is fitting as it evokes feeling of a refined and beguiling adventuresome man of old. It in fact reminds me of the most interesting man from those beer commercials. I am pretty sure he would wear a watch like this. Furthermore, a gentleman is never without his trusty sword. That is why this watch comes with sword shaped black oxidized steel hands. Perhaps this is the most interesting watch in the world.

The natural feel of this watch doesn’t mean it is dowdy however. There is an 18kt pink gold case as well as octagonal crown with The case, octagonal crown, and buckle all are 18kt pink gold–how very refreshing. The octagonal crown also boasts a sapphire set into it. Speaking of sapphire, the sapphire crystal is scratch resistant and the watch is water resistant to 30 meters–talk about durable. A rhodium plated dial and mechanical movement with manual winding top out the list of specs for this piece.

Now, the case is about 44.6×34.6 mm which makes it quite large. Coupled with the big roman numerals this watch is easier to read than the back of a cereal box. However, if you have petite feature than perhaps this is not the watch for you. But, if you are a refined gentleman like Ernest Hemingway, Theodore Roosevelt, or the guy from the beer commercials, then this is the perfect watch for you.

The Cartier Tank Americaine Mens Watch W2609156 features a brown leather strap with a crocodile pattern. It may be reminiscent of your trip to the amazon where you bagged your own gator. Then again, maybe not. But perhaps it is, and you want to swap out the leather for some you took from a trophy kill personally, the choice is yours and the possibilities are endless. Moving past the band, the buckle is gold. Or a better less awkward way to describe it is an 18kt gold buckle. Maybe you have an 18kt gold buckle that you use to hold up your pants. And while your holding up your pants with gold you want to look at the time on your wrist and you want that time to be set in gold, because these are your golden years. Bam. Done. Did somebody say 18kt rose gold face? I did and this watch has it. Simply stunning. We got a sapphire crystal scratch resistant surface and water resistance to 100 feet. If you can dive more than 100 feet you don’t need a watch you need a handshake, because that is pretty impressive. The dial is completely classic invoking the ancient societies with its roman numeral silver grained style. Oh so elegant and classy.

Some of the cooler specs include the crown which is an octagon with 18 kt gold and a blue sapphire cabochon, which is pretty neat. The watch also feature self-winding automatic movement, because you have enough to worry about in life as is. Let yourself be well-assured you’ll be on time.

If you are looking for a very sophisticated watch, that any gentleman would be proud to wear and own, then this watch is for you.

If you do not want a classic style and are looking for something shiny then get off my lawn and find one of those bling pieces the kids are talking about because this isn’t it.

Notice the diamonds embedded in the front dial

Cartier watches are a symbol of class. These watches were designed for the women who want to be noticed and who deserved to be noticed. If you are unique and luxurious; soft to the touch; and full of style then the Cartier Ballon Bleu WE902028 was definitely made for you.

This watch was not made for just anybody. It was made for very classy women. The type of person that walks in the center of the room and is the star of parties. The person that people go to events just to see. The diva and drama queen in us all, the woman who likes the attention, but never has to seek it. This timepiece was designed for that type of women. Even if you do not have these characteristics. The Ballon Bleu calls to a certain part of each individual that says, “I like being unique and deserve the extra attention!”

This watch features a purple strap that is one thing that will make people either love it or hate it. Purple was a color of royalty in the past and when you wear this watch that is just how you will feel baby. Cartier does not compromise when they make their watches and this is shown in the design of this one. Many people may be offset by the color of the watch, but if you think it is a unique twist to the boring silver watches that you see all over town then you are my kind of woman.

The gold bottom of the watch gives it a very luxurious look

The face of the watch shows off a Roman numeral twelve marker. However, the rest of the watch face has diamonds as the markers. That’s right. There are eleven different diamonds embedded inside the watch bezel. This watch will glitter and sparkle all throughout your various parties and events that you will attend. When you have to entertain, why not entertain with extreme style?

The watch also is made of 18 karat rose gold. The watch itself is automatic, which is a lifesaver as no one wants to wind their watch every morning. That sort of task would be too tedious and cumbersome to perform every day. Good thing you won’t have to do that! The watch also features scratch resistant sapphire crystal, which offers extreme protection against scratch damages and will ensure that this watch will stay with you as a necessary fashion accessory for years to come. It is also water resistant for up to 30 meters or 100 feet, so you can stay stylish while going for a light swim as well.

This watch would make an excellent time piece for those who are looking for something fun and new to wear with their outfits. The purple color may not be for everyone, but it is hard to deny that it is a great looking watch that will last for years to come. Cartier watches may not be cheap, but they are certainly a leader in fashionable accessories and it would be a shame to not have one in your collection.

The Romans were luxurious and you can be too with this watch

For the individual that wants the best. Cartier has done it once again with their amazing new watch creation the Cartier Calibre w7100039.  This timepiece like many other Cartier timepieces is a symbol of luxury and style. There are no better watch makers than Cartier and if you love quality then you will definitely appreciate this new addition to the world of accessories.

Cartier designed this timepiece for the individual that wants a simple classic design that will not age with them. The individual that buys this timepiece will be able to keep it for years without having to switch to a new one. This watch has a design that will stay stylish even though fads come and go, very quickly in our time. The Calibre will be the go to accessory for many individuals who desire to improve their style just a little bit this season.

This watch features analog watch movement. The lack of a digital watch face creates an air of class and reminds the people surrounding the wearer of a simpler time. Cartier watches evoke a feeling of nostalgia from a time long gone where watchmakers used to frequent streets. The watchmakers of the old days may be gone, but their methods live on in this classy timepiece.

The silver of the watch have a certain elegance to it

Amazingly, you can see all the inner magic workings of the watch by viewing the back of the Calibre. Cartier puts a lot of hard work into each piece sold and it is shown by how they let the wearer see the mechanics of their watch. This can guarantee that you will always have smooth watch movement, because it is so easy to follow along. Everyone around you will be able to see how well your new timepiece moves along.

The watch features a very simple brown alligator strap. It is one that will match many different outfits with ease. The inside of the watch face utilizes Roman numerals. This also evokes a feeling of nostalgia and will make you look much more sophisticated than the average person. The watch also features an indicator for the date at the 3 o’clock mark.

This timepiece is also water resistant for up to 30 meters or 100 feet. This means that you won’t have to take off this timepiece ever again, unless you go diving somewhere adventurous. The watch face is also protected by sapphire crystals, which will offer a great deal of scratch resistance. This will ensure that you will be able to have this watch for many years to come.

The Calibre would be an excellent addition to your watch collection. You will find a timeless work of time keeping in this device. The sapphire crown will impress all of your coworkers and friends. This watch will keep its value over time and would be a great investment for any who is willing to spend the time on it.

Cartier is a brand that evokes the words elegance, luxury, and fine quality. These timepieces are ones for sophisticated individuals. If you can afford a Cartier than you can are the type of person that doesn’t have the time to shop around. So let me save you the trouble by telling you that the Cartier Men’s Santos 100 Chronograph Black Dial Watch W2020005 is absolutely the most gorgeous men’s watch that I have ever seen. You will love every thing about it, I can guarantee it.

This watch was designed for the smart, smooth, sexy individual who needs a little bit more to complete their outfit. The kind of man that has the designer Italian suits, but needs a timepiece to match everything else in quality. The kind of man that desires perfection in everything he does and owns. The kind of man that does not need a timepiece to last forever, but needs its quality to stay timeless. This is the kind of guy that was made for Cartier.

The front dial with the classic Roman numerals.

This timepiece is analog. There are white hands that tell the time and in the middle of the watch face are three different indicators. The watch face is grey and the strap is also a dark grey. The numbers inside the watch in the watch face are presented in bold classy Roman numerals. The numbers are presented in a white font, which makes it very easy to see against the black background of the inner watch face. In the middle of the watch is also the words Cartier branded subtly, but still very easy to read for everyone else around you to know that you don’t mess around. The inside features a very stylish and aesthetically pleasing design, which sets this timepiece apart from many other watches. Everyone around you will be impressed by the quality of your watch and the unique design it presents.

The watch itself is shaped like a square and it features antireflective-sapphire as the dial window material. This offers a great deal of scratch resistance, which is good. When you spend this much on a quality timepiece it is reassuring to know that it will not be damaged very easily. The bands material is made of calfskin, which adds the very appealing dark grey color.

Notice the elegant grey casing

The watch is also resistant up to 330 feet, which is not an extremely impressive amount; however, it is more than enough to protect it against rain and the average water damage. You will be able to leave this timepiece on in the shower and bath, which may save you some time throughout your busy day. This watch is also a measly 5.60 ounces, which means that it will feel like it is not even on your wrist at times. This can be good as the last thing you need is more work on you throughout the day.

This timepiece would make an excellent addition to any man’s collection. However, the retail price of $11,600 may set a few people off. If you want a good quality timepiece, then this is without a doubt the best decision you will ever make. You should definitely consider saving up for this watch, because it may increase in value over time as watches this stylish are very hard to come by.

The Tank Louis Cartier W1560002 is the perfect timepiece for a man who appreciates a sense of history in his style. This is a classic and attractive watch and is a relic of an important time in history.

‘House of Cartier’ was originally a jewelry boutique founded in 1847 by Louis-Francois Cartier. The modern watches crafted by Cartier are still based on the designs and fundamentals developed by Louis Cartier. The Tank Cartier was originally introduced in 1917 and the design of the original was influenced by the Allied tank commanders who defended France during World War I. Therefore, the Tank Louis Cartier is a timepiece of historical significance.

Own a piece of history.

This particular model of the Tank Louis Cartier is highly aesthetically pleasing to the eye with its brown leather band and shiny brown dial accentuating the 18 karat rose gold case and bezel. The case is rectangular with nice smooth rounded edges and the leather band connects seamlessly to the case. The golden roman numerals on the dial are also laid out in an attractive rectangular pattern giving the watch a serious and professional look yet the brown color of the dial and matching leather band along with the golden case provide this watch with a very warm and inviting color tone, making the watch look much less stern than it might otherwise.

Cartier uses, of course only exceptional materials and that can be guaranteed in the Tank Louis. It has a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal dial window, water resistance to 30 meters and has mechanical movement. This is a classic among classics in the designer watch world, however, that does come at a price with a US retail value of $20,300.

Owning a piece of history does not come cheap yet history combined with this level of style might make it worth it. If you have a man in your life who likes to spend his free time watching the history channel or reading World War I novels then you might just be on to something in considering this watch as a gift. The French tank commanders during World War I must have known what they were doing to both have won some of the most important battles of the 20^th century and to have a hand in designing a watch which has proven with withstand the test of time. The Tank Louis Cartier is a watch that can be worn with both style and pride.

Pros: 

• Exceptionally crafted
• A timepiece with historical significance
• Color tone gives off a warm glow

Cons: 

• Very expensive

Cartier, a brand that has long been associated with luxury and refinement, is continuing their tradition of producing classically elegant watches. The Cartier Roadster W62026Y4 maintains this tradition with a simple, clean design and elegant craftsmanship. This ladies’ luxury timepiece  features an almost square dial with gently curving sides that play well with the oval inner ring around which the hands rotate. The face is adorned with Roman numeral hour markers that make a bold visual impact in contrast to the silver sunray dial. The dial is not cluttered with chronograph sub-dials like so many other watches on the market these days, so its look can definitely be called “classic.”

Diamond hour markers and rose gold accents amidst the stainless steel make the Ballon Bleu WE902030 unique in the collection.

Written By: Jean Flint

Are diamonds a girl’s best friend? Because they’re definitely an attention grabber. Just take a look at the Cartier Ballon Bleu Silver Diamond Dial Rose Gold Women’s Watch WE902030; it has 11 round-cut diamonds accompanying a Roman numeral twelve as hour markers. Does it have your attention? I thought so.

The Ballon Bleu collection as a whole is visually distinguished by a classic round case and protected, fluted crown with a blue synthetic spinel cabochon gemstone. What sets the Ballon Bleu WE902030 apart from its fellows are its unique combination of silver-toned dial, stainless steel case, stainless steel bracelet with 18k rose gold accents, and, of course, the diamonds.

You’ve seen gold watches before, but maybe you haven’t seen quite as many watches with rose gold. The faint red-ish hint gives the Ballon Bleu WE902030 a little extra something special that will really make it stand out from other timepieces on the market. Another model, the Ballon Bleu WE902025 is the same size and design of watch but is all rose gold plate instead of just accented with it – which doesn’t have quite the same effect as a few bright spots gleaming amidst the cooler stainless steel.

Centered on the dial are Cartier’s trademark blued-steel hour and minute hands and a 12-zone guilloché circle, which stand out easily against the silver. The beautiful sun-ray effect of that inner circle is  edged with small black marks to supplement the diamond hour markers, covered by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal face.

Pros:

• Reliable, battery operated quartz movement made in Switzerland
• 18k rose gold crown and first three inner links of the wristband to either side of the bezel
• 11 round-cut diamonds
• Small and subtle in size, the case only 28.6 millimeters (1.126 inches) in diameter
• Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal
• Splashes of blue against the silver-tone dial and rose gold crown

Cons:

• Doesn’t have a second hand or a date display, unlike some other Ballon Bleu models
• Water resistant to only 30 meters (98 feet)
• Rich materials make it an expensive item

The Ballon Bleu WE902030 is available on the Cartier website for $8500, which is pretty expensive. Other timepieces in the Ballon Bleu collection are available with all Roman numeral markers instead of 11 diamonds. For example, the Ballon Bleu W6920034 has the same rose gold highlights and a pink mother-of-pearl dial rather than a silver-toned one, and costs almost $1500 less… But sometimes a girl has expensive taste in best friends.

The first three inner watchband links on either side of the bezel are rose gold plated; the rest are stainless steel.

The Cartier La Dona W6400156 Women’s watch is a unique watch for the modern woman. Its special tonneau asymmetrical case shape and bright red crocodile pattern embossed leather make it look like a real power watch for women. This is a watch that will receive a lot of attention and will be sure to generate a lot of compliments as people cannot help but notice it.

The Cartier La Dona makes a statement!

The La Dona collection by Cartier all carry the special tonneau case shape, but come in a wide variety of band colors and styles including silver metal and even pink crocodile! There are also diamond watch versions in this series. This particular model has an 18 karat yellow gold case as well as an 18 karat gold buckle. The dial is silver grained with black roman numerals and blue steel hour and minute hands. The red crocodile embossed leather is shiny and bright. The coloring of this model certainly makes the watch ‘pop’ and it would look very nice paired with a dark suit or black dress as a statement piece. The La Dona W6400156 is also one of the larger models of this watch with a case diameter of 33mm by 28mm. There is a similar version with a smaller case and slightly darker red band.

This watch has all of the high quality features you would expect from Cartier with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal dial cover and battery operated Cartier Calibre 690 quartz movement. It is also water resistant down to 30 meters or 100 feet. This Cartier La Dona is on the pricey side with prices ranging from between $9,000 to $10,000, which is quite high for a watch that does not include diamonds.

Overall the Cartier La Dona W6400156 is a very stylish and unique attention grabbing watch. It is not a watch for women who want to blend into the background. This watch really makes a statement and is made to be seen and admired. The very modern, almost artsy-looking tonneau case shape is its best feature and makes it interesting to look at. The asymmetrical shape is very unusual and will certainly receive a lot of comments and compliments. The bright red crocodile embossed leather strap grabs your attention and the tonneau case keeps you interested. This is a smart watch which is great for either dress or business attire. The Cartier La Dona is a powerful watch for a powerful woman!

Pros: 

• Very unique
• High quality
• Attention grabbing

The Cartier Love 18 karat Rose Gold Ladies Watch WE801331 is aptly named because it has just enough special features to make any woman fall in love. The overall look of this watch is very elegant and graceful, almost romantic. It has an 18 karat rose gold bezel fixed with 18 diamonds in series of three divided by a golden screw. The dial is brown guilloche with bluish hour and minute hands and golden roman numerals. One of the loveliest features is the satin band which is the same brown as the dial and gives the watch a very delicate and feminine look.

The Cartier Love is delicate, refined and so romantic!

This is a high quality watch with quartz movement and sapphire crystal glass. The case is quite thick at 6.16mm and the watch is water resistant to 30 meters or 100 feet. What sets this watch apart are the 18 round cut diamonds which are quite a bit larger than most watch diamonds. This watch just drips with luxury and class. It is a perfect jewelry watch for a woman of any age and can be worn with dresses or other fancy dress without taking away from the rest of the outfit. The Cartier Love is also discrete enough to be able to wear it with other jewelry without looking over-accessorized. The brown satin band should blend well with most colors and is a subtle shade so it does not stand out too much. This is a watch for women who want a very graceful and refined look.

The screw motif is interesting. These gold screws are found both on the bezel and one on the side of the case serves as the winding dial. I am not sure how I feel about the screws. On the one hand I think they work with the overall look, but on the other hand I find the screw motif to be a little bit too industrial looking for such an otherwise delicate and ladylike watch. The screws are small enough to not detract from the watch and do give the Cartier Love a modern look. There are other models of this watch which do not have the diamonds, but only the screws on the bezel. I do not find those models to be as attractive as this one, therefore, the diamonds do add a lot to the overall appearance of this watch.

The Cartier Love is certainly a watch that any woman would love and comes in a beautiful red leather jewelry box. This makes the perfect romantic gift and any woman would appreciate receiving such a gorgeous watch, especially a watch which is called ‘Love’. If a woman were to receive the Cartier Love from a man, she would be so very delighted to find that not only is her man a romantic at heart, but he also has excellent taste!

Pros:

• Beautiful, graceful and elegant
• A very romantic gift
• Unusual soft satin band
