The Rotonde de Cartier Minute Repeater Flying Tourbillon
Pre SIHH 2012 from Cartier
We keep featuring timepieces all the way throughout the countdown to the SIHH 2012. This time we have a preview from Cartier, the brand will be presenting the Rotonde de Cartier Minute Repeater Flying Tourbillon.
Featuring one of the most coveted complications among timepieces collectors, the Rotonde de Cartier Minute Repeater Flying Tourbillon makes the minute repeater the star of this model. This incredible timepiece is the result of five years of research into watch acoustics.
Cartier’s Research and Development Department has thus taken up the challenge of offering lovers of fine watchmaking a minute repeater watch which, while remaining traditional in its design, represents a synthesis of in-depth acoustic research as applied to watchmaking.
