Introduced in 1912, the Tortue is one of the most enduring timepieces in Cartier’s history; the series features an elegant tonneau-shaped case, hence its name "Tortue" (French for "turtle"). The new Privé Tortue release is a re-edition inspired by a piece from the 1998 Cartier Paris Private Collection. It is powered by the 1928 MC single-pusher chronograph movement, which measures a mere 4.3mm in thickness—making it Cartier’s thinnest chronograph movement to date.
The platinum case measures 43.7mm x 34.8mm with a thickness of just 10.2mm; its mirror-polished finish creates a striking interplay of light and shadow. On the silvered pearlescent dial, the most arresting feature is undoubtedly the oversized Roman numeral "XII," which forms a perfect triangular layout in harmony with the two sub-dials positioned to its left and right—a 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock and a small seconds sub-dial at 9 o'clock. Both sub-dials feature burgundy-colored railway-track scales and are enhanced by circular *azurage* finishing to add visual depth; curved triangular motifs adorn the four corners of the dial, echoing the distinctive silhouette of the case.
The timepiece is powered by the manual-winding Calibre 1928 MC, which beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers a power reserve of 44 hours. Repwatcheaprice - Luxury replica Breitling Navitimer price, Cheap Watches For Men And Women.
