The New Ballon Bleu de Cartier 40mm with Interchangeable Bracelet System - Monochrome Watches

In a world dominated by round wristwatches, Cartier has historically been a bit of an outsider, gaining tremendous success with its resolutely non-round case designs that include the likes of the Tank, Crash, Tonneau, and Cloche. That changed in 2007 with the release of the Ballon Bleu de Cartier, a watch that was unmistakably Cartier despite its round shape. This year at Watches & Wonders, Cartier has unveiled a 40mm version of the Ballon Bleu de Cartier with a bracelet and clasp upgrade.

When Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos Dumont asked Louis Carter to design him a watch that he could use while flying, he likely had no idea he'd be changing the world of horology. Named after the aviation pioneer, this timepiece is crafted from steel with a unique skeleton dial. It comes with a matching bracelet and rubber strap that can easily be changed thanks to the 'QuickSwitch' system.
