The Basics

With its round case and straight lugs, the Rotonde de Cartier is one of the brand’s more traditional designs – while retaining many Cartier signature elements. This collection consists primarily of watches with added complications. The Rotonde Mysterious Hour builds upon Cartier’s long history of ‘mysterious’ clocks, whose hands seemingly float in thin air without any visible connection to any form of movement. Reference W1556223 has a pink gold case and a silver dial. Please note that these pictures are calibrated for use on a black back ground; the part featuring the hands is 100% see-though.
