Cartier is a jewelry maker. There has always been a controversial topic, which is the strength of Cartier's watchmaking. Everyone gives different answers, with mixed praise and criticism.
But in the eyes of many people, it is an existence that can be as famous as Patek Philippe , Vacheron Constantin , Audemars Piguet and other professional watchmaking brands. It belongs to the same grade and is a high-end watch in terms of brand awareness. Table, is a member of the same field.
If you want to become a high-end watch, you must meet two requirements: appearance and technology. The appearance of Cartier watches, such as the Blue Balloon series and the Tank series, can definitely beat some of the designs of other brands in terms of technology. Well, Cartier's movements have always been the source of mixed reviews. Many watch friends feel that the quality and durability of Cartier's movements may not be of a good level.
But from a technical point of view, Cartier’s complex functions, minute repeaters, tourbillon , and perpetual calendar series, including hollow tourbillons, have been designed, produced and sold for this series of watches. From this point of view The skills, foundation and strength are still there, and they are very strong.
If you look at it from a data level, looking at the 2021 Swiss research industry data report, Cartier’s global sales ranking is second only to the first-ranked Rolex .
Even if there are many controversies, or many people look down on the Cartier brand, she still has many fans and admirers all over the world, because sales are the best proof. This can be seen from the data level Explain this fact.
If it is a watch from the Cartier brand, which one is the most recommended?
First, if you choose a precious metal watch, give priority to rose gold watch. The price/performance ratio of rose gold is higher than that of other gold metal watches. In terms of value retention rate, the market price of second-hand rose gold is relatively high. Compared with the gold model, the white gold or platinum model will be higher.
So if you choose a watch in the Blue Balloon series, if a woman chooses a watch, she must first determine the diameter of the watch. Then the 33mm diameter watch must be better than the 28mm and 36 diameter watches.
Men’s basketball series prefer to choose a 42mm table diameter. As for the design of the disk, if it is a women’s basketball, the mother-of-pearl disk is preferred, which is larger than the ordinary disk. This is all based on the value retention rate of second-hand products.
Secondly, if some friends like the tank series, I personally think they should choose to buy the most classic tank. Ordinary steel models are also acceptable, as are rose gold models.
But do not choose rectangular or oval shapes, which are what we often call Metan and Fatan. It is not recommended to buy them. Compared with the Tank series, the several models just mentioned are for retention rate. Some of the best.
Personally I am not particularly optimistic about the movement of the Cartier watch brand, but I think that if you choose the watch brand Cartier, then don’t think too much about the movement.
After all, for many people, buying Cartier is more about the brand, fashion sense and satisfaction than the movement.
