Imagine gazing at a watch where the tourbillon appears to float in mid-air. Cartier’s master watchmakers have pulled off this enchanting illusion with the Double Mystery Tourbillon, using an anti-reflective sapphire crystal disc with a precise aperture matching the tourbillon’s size. But how does this magical feat come to life?

The genius lies in the rotating disc that supports the tourbillon framework. As it spins, it simultaneously drives the minute wheel, cleverly transmitting power to the tourbillon. Every minute, the tourbillon completes a full rotation within its transparent space, creating a mesmerizing self-rotation of its framework. It’s akin to watching a tiny dance, orchestrated by a set of teeth surrounding the sapphire disc, connected to a gear that completes a rotation every minute.

Powered by a meticulously crafted manual winding mechanical movement, thanks to tireless research, the watch’s components are engineered to minimize energy consumption. To enhance efficiency, the weight of the tourbillon frame is reduced to just 0.28 grams, balancing dynamic forces perfectly with a gold gear installed opposite the tourbillon to achieve equilibrium.

Technical specs of the Rotonde Tourbillon Mysterieux include a 904 stainless steel case, 45 mm in diameter, a platinum bead-shaped crown adorned with a cabochon-shaped natural spinel, and anti-reflective sapphire crystal on both the front and back. The watch is water-resistant to 30 meters (100 feet). Its elegant dial features a deep gray electroplated pattern with silver grid engraving, complemented by sunburst radiant effects and black Roman numeral hour markers, all under the watchful gaze of sword-shaped blue steel hands. The strap made of imported Italian calfskin ensures the elegance doesn’t stop at the watch itself.

Each watch is individually coded, offering the chance to select a lucky number with early orders—like getting a lucky charm you can wear! If you had the chance, what number would you choose?
