Cartier Tortue XL Ascensional Tourbillon
An enduring Cartier legend, the Tortue watch lends its generous curves to the sophistication of a hand-wound mechanical tourbillon movement and retrograde hours and minutes. A platinum watch that separates hours from minutes, the former on the left, the latter on the right, in a distinctive vision of time.The hands slowly complete their ascension to then plummet down each side of the dial in a spectacular beating of wings. The tourbillon is framed by the emblematic double C logo as though to highlight its refinement. A limited edition of fifty for this watch whose originality, creativity and classicism are also those of the Collection Privée Cartier Paris.
