The F1 Factory introduces a groundbreaking upgrade with its exclusive aluminum-magnesium solid head grain belt, perfectly synchronized with boutique standards. This new version addresses previous issues of peeling and uneven force distribution in older models.
Crafted with precision following a 1:1 prototype of the original, this authentic alternative offers three sizes: Large (46.6*33.9mm), Medium (43.5*31.4mm), and Small (38*27.5mm), each with a thickness of 7.3mm. The large model features two options: a custom hand-wound mechanical movement and a Swiss quartz movement with dedicated Cartier platinum cladding. The Medium and Small models are equipped with a Swiss quartz movement and Cartier platinum cladding as well.
The case is meticulously 3D scanned and modeled by a renowned Taiwanese manufacturer, ensuring comprehensive accuracy to the original, with most parts interchangeable. Precision German CNC machining is employed, resulting in a high-fitting mechanism.
The watch’s unique attributes include a solid inner casing identical to the original, crafted with CNC to handle the placement and securing of the movement. Unlike common models with low-grade plastic inner casings, this design stands out in terms of weight and quality.
Featuring an original Swiss high-power quartz movement with Cartier A-grade dedicated cladding, this timepiece guarantees precision timing and zero repairs.
The dial is elegantly designed with a CNC-engraved three-layer silver-plated surface, rail-style markers paired with long, three-dimensional Roman numerals, and a sunburst texture for a clear and generous look.
The mirror is crafted from French sapphire crystal glass with high-transparency treatment, providing an almost invisible appearance.
The Italian-imported calf leather strap, embossed with crocodile skin texture and polished with agate stones, offers a visual and tactile experience on par with genuine crocodile leather. Inside, it uses Cartier-consistent lining, ensuring a close and comfortable fit, paired with a 1:1 modeled Cartier iconic pin buckle.
Featuring blued steel hands with varying angles, the watch offers a dynamic visual experience. The signature round crown, machined using a five-axis linkage lathe, is meticulously polished with clear and smooth bead shapes. The crown top is embellished with a blue cabochon crystal ground from natural stone, offering a captivating sheen in the light.
The entire watch undergoes meticulous polishing with a brushed finish on the case sides, smooth sand patterns, and refined lines on the case and edge transitions. The bezel features a mirror finish, accented with signature exposed screws for a pronounced texture.
Packaging includes a tag, warranty card, and consistent bottom cover code, making it a complete set. This watch complements both formal business attire and casual sportswear, embodying the timeless design and reputation of Cartier, making it a perfect choice for self-wear or gifting to friends and family.
