Industrial Timekeeping

If you favor the industrial and utilitarian over the subtle or outright glitzy, there may just be a Cartier watch for you. The Cartier Santos 100 W20121U2 men’s watch is a big square block of wrist-bound time keeping machinery with telltale Cartier accents and quality. The Santos 100 looks sturdy. It looks manly. In fact, it looks downright industrial.

This watch’s look begins with its wide black rubber bracelet and is anchored by its large, square block of a case. Taking the look further, the band is connected to the case by two visible steel screws on each side. Eight more steel screws affix the case. They stand out, too, as they’re over a black rubber strip that covers the stationary steel bezel. The crown is also steel, set with another piece of black rubber. The dial face, protected by scratch resistant sapphire, is white with black oxidized steel hands and the iconic Cartier eschewed Roman numeral hour markers. The Cartier Santos 100 W20121U2 men’s watch has the automatic winding Cartier caliber 049 mechanical movement and it is water resistant to 330 feet.

The Cartier Santos 100 W20121U2 men’s watch retails for $6,250 at the Cartier website and authorized boutique stores, coming with a limited two year manufacturer’s warranty.

Sea spirit

Cartier says its Pasha Seatimer W31077M7 men’s watch was made with the “spirit of the open sea.” It is a striking time piece, but its design is more traditional than outlandish. Here, Cartier blends a formal and an athletic look for a high quality, high end watch.

The Pasha Seatimer’s case and bracelet are stainless steel. The bezel, also steel, is unidirectional with black Arabic numerals and a triangle at high noon. The dial face has a black background with white hour markers, also Arabic numerals, and is covered by a scratch resistant sapphire crystal window.

The steel hour and minute hands are diamond shaped and there is a date window between 4 o’clock and 5 o’clock. This men’s watch has Cartier Caliber 049 automatic movement. It can power itself without a battery, automatically, by the movement of the wearer’s arms. It is water resistant to 330 feet.

Classically modern

Cartier calls its 21 Must De Cartier W10110T2 men’s watch a “modern classic.” That is a good assessment. Really, this watch combines the modern with the classic. At first glance, it looks like a timeless, classic Cartier watch. A second longer and you see the modern elements beginning to emerge. Aside from the blued steel hands and the blue synthetic spinel cabochon set in the crown, the watch is monochromatic with the color ranging from white to silver to stainless steel. The face design of concentric circles highlights this monochrome scale. With this modern designing matched by the classic Cartier aesthetic, it truly is a “modern classic.”

The stainless steel stationary bezel is the outermost circle and it contains Roman numeral hour markers. Just inside is a thin circular band with Arabic numeral minute markers on a white background. This band rims the innermost and final circle, which is blank steel highlighted by the blue hands. The face is covered by a scratch resistant sapphire window. The 21 Must De Cartier W10110T2 men’s watch has Cartier caliber 690 quartz movement and it is water resistant to 100 feet.

The 21 Must De Cartier W10110T2 men’s watch retails for $2,800 at Cartier and authorized resellers.

Eye See You

The Ballon Bleu de Cartier W6920046 men’s watch brings to mind an eye. Maybe it is a whale’s eye; or a child’s eye, as wide as possible with wonder and disbelief; or maybe it is the eye of some kind of a technician, enlarged through the lens of a thick, round monocle; or maybe it is just an eyeball. Whatever, the large round case, offset by a thinner band is striking and original without trying too hard.

The big round, highly polished stainless steel case of the Ballon Bleu de Cartier W6920046 men’s watch is further accentuated by a slightly protruding piece of steel protecting the crown.
