Cartier Ballon Bleu

Considering the rich history and tradition that comes along with the Cartier name, the Ballon Bleu is a comparably young collection. Nevertheless, it has managed to distinguish itself as a modern classic within a very short period of time. Since 2006, the Ballon Bleu timepiece has appealed to both sexes of Cartier clientele. It is a sophisticated timepiece that bears many of the luxurious features that Cartier stands for. Among many traditional characteristics included in the watch are the bold roman numerals that stand out on the distinctive and clear dial. It comes as no surprise then that the Ballon Bleu de Cartier is a highly renowned and sought-after timepiece by lovers of fine watchmaking and Haute Horologie.

Cartier established itself as a luxury jeweller in France as early as 1847. In 1942, the first Cartier store opened up in England and the company quickly gained attention from the English court. Thereafter, Cartier established itself as a Purveyor to King Edward VII of the United Kingdom as the luxurious timepieces created by the jeweller far exceed the expectations of the royals. With luxurious jewels and exquisite timepieces beautifully complementing the ensembles of influential families, the Cartier status gained immeasurable momentum.

It comes as no surprise then that the future Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, has followed in the fashionable footsteps of her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana. While Princess Diana wore the classic yellow gold Cartier Tank Française, Kate Middleton is known to adorn the elegant Ballon Bleu de Cartier on her wrist. The simple and elegant wristwatch not only adds to the style icon status of the future Duchess of Cambridge but also perfectly complements any classic ensemble she chooses to pair it with.

The Ballon Bleu de Cartier collection includes a wide range of unique watches for men and women. The collection is presented with a diverse range of styles and sizes. Models can be discovered with a case that measures 28-millimeters (e.g. Ref. W69010Z4), 33-millimeters (e.g. Ref. W6920084) as well as a larger 42-millimeters (e.g. Ref. W6920042) and 46-millimeters (e.g. Ref. W6920054).

The successful medium-sized make of the Ballon Bleu de Cartier (Ref. W6920046) measures 36-millimeters and is a popular model thanks to its universal size that flatters the wrists of both men and women alike. The overall collection is diverse and simply impresses with high-grade materials such as stainless steel, yellow gold, white gold, and platinum. Furthermore, the Ballon Bleu Chronograph (Ref. W6920076) is another model from the collection that simply takes the breath away.
