Swiss watches ...women need to discover the masterpieces they are ....The Ballon Bleu is a relatively recent creation from Cartier coming in a round case with a loop over the crown to create a more rounded, curvy shape. A large circle of women have an appreciation for fine art and luxury products because of the quality and detail to these hand crafted items and we surround ourselves with them. Why do we not see a Swiss timepiece in the same way? I believe that it is because they have no idea what goes into crafting these masterpieces. Think about this ! Look at a automatic watch that is hand assembled with hundreds of working parts and those parts work together with no power source! YES, Just those high quality parts working together with a rotor that winds it as you move your wrist ! It can take a highly trained watchmaker sometimes a year to assemble this masterpiece and if we maintain it and love it , it will last generations . Pretty cool isn't it?We drive a car that needs a power source but not our watch if we are lucky enough to own one. Can I say it again ? If I'm going to have just one and hand it down for generations I want a masterpiece...How about you?Cartier produces the Ballon Bleu in a range of sizes and with different movements including both quartz and automatic. The Ballon Bleu Medium as pictured here is available in steel s36.6mm and that is what I prefer. Funny that 36mm wide was the size of a men’s watch in my fathers generation, but today 36mm wide watches are typically worn by women, as men tend to wear larger watches today, sized at 40mm and above. This particular Ballon Bleu de Cartier is a modest model in the collection. It comes with and without any diamonds and the quartz movement is priced less than the automatic models. This is probably the model that the classic ladies tends to wear because she is not too flashy in how she dresses, and yet the elegant timelessness of the watch and brand does suit her style overall, being timeless and stately. Non flashy watches communicate similar values about the wearer.❤️️
