Cartier Launches New Ballon Bleu In The Perfect Size

Cartier Launches New Ballon Bleu In The Perfect Size

In watchmaking, a millimeter more or less can make all the difference. This year, Cartier is launching the Ballon Bleu in a new 40mm large case. With this, ‘La Maison’ keeps the watch in line with current trends and on point in terms of design. Initially launched in 2007 has the Ballon Bleu quickly become one of the best-selling models of Cartier, and one of the pillars of the brand’s watchmaking collection. Thanks to its pebble-shaped case, is it one of the most comfortable watches to wear, while its crown guard gives it a unique appearance.

With the new 40mm version, Cartier might have found the sweet spot for the Ballon Bleu in terms of size. Compared to the previous 42mm model, is the new watch lighter and more pleasantly proportioned. This will most likely make the watch interesting for an even broader clientele and makes it, in essence, a good candidate to become a true uni-sex watch. While the 42mm could also play this role, 40mm is easier to wear on a smaller wrist. Thanks to the short lugs do both the metal bracelet and the leather strap make the watch sit pleasantly on the wrist.

That Cartier is expecting a lot from this new Ballon Bleu is evident from the broad collection they are launching this new size with. The stainless steel model is available with a leather strap or a metal bracelet and comes with either a silver, gray, or blue dial. A pink gold model is also available, with a matching bracelet or on a strap. While here a silver or a gray dial are the only options, a silver dial Ballon Bleu with the bezel set with 52 brilliant-cut diamonds is also part of the collection. All the new Ballon Bleu’s share the same automatic movement. Caliber 1847 MC is made in Cartier’s own manufacture and has a rather slender profile with a thickness of only 3.77mm.
