Cartier Astrotourbillon Carbon Crystal Watch

While many fantastical concept watches rarely make their way to market, French watchmaker Cartier will be releasing this Astrotourbillon Carbon Crystal Watch which was first seen in 2009. Cartier’s Caliber 9460 MC movement beats at the heart of this watch’s 47mm niobium-titanium case which features carbon crystal components, and an adjustment and lubrication-free pallet and escapement wheel. Unique to the tourbillon complication on this watch is how seconds are pointed out by means of an off-center wheel bridge constructed atop a carriage with its axis of rotation centered around the movement itself. You can check out a video detailing this impressive complication here. Start saving, this incredible timepiece is expected to fetch a six-figure price tag when the single worldwide production model is made available next year.
