Cartier Skeleton:
French brand Cartier delivers one of their strongest collections.
Masculine and elegant, Cartier are undeniably extraordinary timepieces that represent precision, ingenuity, and luxury. Watch hands depict skeletonised bridges forming Roman numerals, adding a legibility advantage not often found on skeleton dial watches. Individually numbered movements contain 138 parts, including 20 jewels in all of these hand winding watches!
The Tank Chinoise contains 160 parts, including 23 rubies. First inspired by traditional Chinese architecture, the Tank Chinoise does not have Roman numerals. Designed by Cartier himself, this is a limited edition of 100 individually-numbered timepieces.
These Cartier-designed Skeleton watches enhance visual experience from all angles.
