The History of ... The “House of Cartier”
was founded in 1847 by Louis-Franois Cartier. Originally a
jewelry boutique, through expertise and ambition, the Cartier
company evolved into a successful watch making business
introducing the first deployment-folding clasp, and the first
truly water resistant design. Cartier watches focus on
aesthetics and "savoir-faire." Their watchmakers and artists
work side by side to create every Cartier watch - a balance of
art and precision. Cartier offers exquisite precision
timepieces born of the imagination of the jeweler who explores the
dimensions of shape and color. Cartier utilizes an original
repertoire of shapes and lines that create a new set of rules
for watch-making geometry. Cartier watches are mysterious,
dream-inspiring and reveal the intricacies of Cartier’s original
creative know-how...

Bieu de Cartier collection. This is a watch with the iconic style of
Cartier! This is a rare model, a most sought after in design in
Cartier's line up which met with high demand by watch buyers for it's
unique, brand quality” The Cartier Ballon Bleu Flying Tourbillon
watch presented here is an example of the watches that the modern
Cartier watch brand is producing. The Calibre de Cartier models broke
ground for the famed jewelry house in the early 2000s by marking
Cartier’s first line of serially produced in-house movements. The
incredible example featured here displays the line’s impeccable style
combined with one of horology’s most impressive achievements:
the tourbillon volant or “flying” tourbillon. Housed in an 18k White
Gold case, this exceptional example by Cartier conveys an undeniably
bold design. The time displays on a sleek and minimalistic dial with a
elongated Roman numeral, 9 to 3 o’clock positions to orient the hours
and an outer chapter ring to display the minutes. A subsidiary dial at
the 6 o’clock position utilizes the minute period of rotation of the
tourbillon cage as the seconds hand while simultaneously showcasing the
impressive movement flawlessly. Over a century later, de Cartier
remains a legend, blurring the lines between function and design with
its geometric dial, harmoniously curved horns, and signature exposed
screws. A timeless homeage to history, elegance, and style”. Not to
mention , and Simply put… You cannot go wrong with a Cartier...

What You Should Know: This Cartier Ballon Bleu Flying Tourbillon W6920021 appears to be in excellent pre-owned condition...
Cartier... is a life-style watch...
...The flying tourbillon
distinguishes itself further by the absence of an upper bridge in
the cage. Supported only from below, this distinguishing feature
provides an unobstructed view of the impressive movement. The result
is a timepiece of the highest precision and visual”...
...“Taken from the French word meaning whirlwind, the
tourbillon’s hypnotic oscillation embodies the name
flawlessly. Patented by famed watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet in 1801,
the classic tourbillon endeavored to counteract the effects of the
earth’s gravitational pull on watch movements, known as positional
error. The solution was to suspend the balance wheel, balance springs,
and escapement in constant oscillation within a cage, averaging out
any potential errors caused by gravity when the watch rests in one
position for too long...

“Watch has been in House Serviced, comes with Classwatches 1 year Service Warranty”...
“Whereas
a traditional tourbillon carriage is carefully protected between the
bridges and main plate, the flying tourbillon of the watch has been
designed to enhance its visual appeal. It almost seems to float on
the bridges, as if hovering weightlessly above the dial, which gives
it greater exposure to shocks that could disturb its operation. This
aesthetic choice is technically risky and requires the master
watchmakers to pay particular attention to the design of the
tourbillon carriage to ensure that it benefits from the same level of
shock resistance as a traditional tourbillion”...
