The New Cartier Captive watch model was presented during the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) 2010.
The model is stunning with the 35 mm to 55 mm (depending on the model size) 18-k white gold dial, covered with rhodium. The smaller version is made with just one blued steel hand (for the hours – you can tell the time within 10 minute precision), while the larger version has two hands.
And as usual, the dial has no lack of diamonds. They are on the Cartier Captive watch bezel and on the dial’s perimeter as well. Moreover, the “numbers” on the dial are made of 3 karat diamonds.
Case aperture serves as a bracelet’s bracing. This affect brings some pocket watch notes to the Cartier Captive design. The light-grey canvas material bracelet is elegant enough the wear it with the 18-k white gold snap.
Sapphire glass will prevent Cartier Captive from mechanic damage. And 30 meter water resistance is a good reason for a pleasant sail sing. Inside the watch you’ll find the quartz movement.
The New Cartier model is expensive enough. Prices are about $22,100 – $96,500. But despite of this I consider Cartier Captive the best way not only for “captivating her,” but also for “keeping her captive.”
