CARTIER
Ballon Bleu de Cartier Automatic 42mm Stainless Steel and Alligator Watch, Ref. No. WSBB0026
Cartier's 'Ballon Bleu' is named for the blue cabochon in the bezel that appears to float within the spherical balloon-like case. Manufactured in Switzerland with an 1847 MC automatic movement, it's made from polished stainless steel and secures with a refined black alligator strap - a classic combination that works for a range of dress codes. It has a silver guilloché opaline dial, signature sword-shaped hands and Roman numerals; note how the brand's moniker is incorporated into the 7 o'clock - a long-standing practice of the maison's.
