Why Ronde? Because Cartier Rounde doesn’t sound elegant.
Cartier has won the hearts of the watch collecting community by being a classic brand with a classic look. You won’t find any left-field designs, no ambitious “reimagining” of the timepiece aesthetic, just the classic, elegant Cartier style that keep fans adding to their collections. While the Tank has been considered “the” dress watch for years an often overlooked model in their impressive repertoire is the Ronde. A sharp departure from the Tank in several ways, the Ronde provides much needed variety in the dress watch realm, while still being unmistakably Cartier.
You know nothing Huey Lewis!
The round case is the first thing that catches the attention, and those less familiar with the brand may not believe Cartier would do such a thing. The size also sets it apart from many dress watches, particularly the Tank. The men’s XL reaches a whopping 42mm, yet its case remains so thin you’ll be amazed an automatic movement could fit. It still features the trademark silvered and grained dial that has made the Tank a go-to for formalwear, but the face also features 24-hour Arabic markers tucked inside the Roman dial, providing a practical touch to a dress watch that is rarely seen.
For those looking for a classic dress watch just different enough to keep spectators on their toes (and it will have many) there’s a Cartier Ronde for you. With both men’s and lady’s sizes, plus the gold option for that extra splash of elegance, those turned off by the size and shape of the tank need not turn their back on Cartier. For as long as there is Ronde, there’s time for a pleasant surprise.
