“Dear, do you notice anything different about me?” That’s what the best 1:1 replica Cartier Santos Dumont Rewind watches would’ve asked its imaginary husband. Introduced at this year’s Watches & Wonders Geneva, here is our view on what is unique, different and appealing of this novelty.
Review: the new Cartier Santos Dumont Rewind
The perfect Carter Santos Dumont fake watches has a retail price of USD 38,400. It is limited to 200 pieces worldwide and as of late June, there are still individuals who are still able to get their hands on one.
Months after Watches and Wonders, we are still drooling over the some of the novelties. And here is one. But perhaps it is one that may have been flying low. So low that as of the date of this review, we have not found it on Cartier’s website. Basically, a case of if you know, you know.
First Impression / The Case
Immediate impression is that this is a regular cheap 2024 copy Cartier Santos Dumont watches with a red dial. But look closer, and the ruby cabochon beckons, giving a hint that this might be a special piece. A cabochon is de rigeur for a Santos Dumont, but a red one matching the dial colour is unusual. Pick the watch up, and the heft tells the tale of a platinum case.
The dimension of the Santos Dumont Rewind is 43.5 mm x 31.4 mm with a 7.3 mm thickness, a bit smaller than the Santos Dumont XL which measures 46.6 mm x 33.9 mm x 7.5 mm. The case is finished with matte brushed surfaces with high polish anglage and a mirror polished bezel. Very handsome.
The Dial
First thing that the 200 individuals and all of us who are gawking at the top UK replica Cartier Santos Dumont Rewind watches is the gorgeous red dial. This red dial is not just any red dial but a carnelian stone dial. For those who are new to carnelian, the material is a brownish-red semiprecious stone. The red has a smokey vibe and is certainly very gorgeous.
After being smitten by the red carnelian dial, we cannot help but notice the roman numerals are done in a reverse order. The hour markers go counter-clockwise. Gimmicky? Perhaps. But to us, certainly very cool and as it is rather discreet, a quiet wink at those who know.
The unusual placement of roman numerals is complimented by the rhodium-finish steel apple-shaped hands that pays homage to the first luxury Cartier Santos Dumont fake watches that was released in 1904. Now one would wonder what is the power driving the watch that allows it to run backwards.
The Movement
When flip to the back of the watch, we do not see any visible window to the movement but is greeted by a mirror reflected signature of Alberto Santos-Dumont engraved on it. Inside, the platinum case back houses the Cartier 230MC movement. What is this movement one might wonder?
During the Watches and Wonders presentation, the Cartier team shared that it is a new mechanical movement developed for this Swiss made Cartier replica watches. That certainly intrigued us quite a bit but upon digging further, we found out that it is a modified 430MC movement used in the Santos Dumont XL.
The 230MC movement started out as a Piaget 430P ultra thin movement (thickness at 2.1 mm). Why Piaget, one might wonder? The ultra-thin aspect. And Piaget, being also part of Richemont is a sister brand.
The Strap
Straps from UK Cartier super clone watches wholesale are usually nothing short of amazing, by virtue of the fact that they have in-house capability to produce their own leather goods. In the case of the Santos Dumont Rewind, the matching alligator strap in a dark burgundy/red is beautiful.
While most straps in the Cartier collection has a quick release feature, an interesting detail on the Santos Dumont series is having a metal plate on strap where the quick release spring bar is located. This feature would enable the strap to last longer and reduce the wear and tear on the leather itself. What a genius idea!
Apart from the strap, one other detail that we appreciate is the 950 Platinum ardillon buckle. Good to see that high quality Cartier replica watches retains platinum on the buckle, when many of their competitors would just simply slap on a white metal buckle and call it a day.
The design enthusiast takes us through her daily routine and tells the story behind her go-to Swiss made Cartier replica watches right now.
A tastemaker, businesswoman and mother of two—these are just three of the many hats that Jet Acuzar wears daily. Even with a tight schedule, her time for her children remains a priority, from getting busy in the kitchen together to watching their favourite television shows in the comforts of the bedroom. But apart from being a mother around the clock, Acuzar spares some time for herself as well. She regularly works out, loves to entertain friends and loved ones and enjoys the chance to dress up for events and dinner parties every now and then.
While Acuzar prefers to keep her style neat and simple, she is also keen on adding accessories to elevate her outfit. Donning an elegant perfect Cartier replica watches, as intricate and rich in story as the well-crafted homeware she curates, is the final step to complete her look.
Amid business meetings and several other tasks that keep her busy at home, Acuzar was generous enough to sit down with Tatler GMT to muse about her love for particular high quality Cartier fake watches and its significance to her everyday wear.
What’s a typical day like for you?
I usually start the day with a workout or a walk on the treadmill. I use my top UK replica Cartier watches, a Garmin, for this as it helps track my steps, movement and heart rate. I go to work, then once or twice a week attend events or a dinner party. I go home and watch something on TV, particularly on Netflix, Amazon Prime or Apple TV.
Do you consider watches a must-have accessory in your day-to-day outfits?
They are because they set the tone for how I feel my time will be spent that day. And when I attend events, they bridge the gap between jewellery and function.
My best Cartier copy watches have strong sentimental value for me as when they were bought or gifted to me, it’s usually to celebrate a milestone.
I tend to wear the Cartier Trinity I got as a present when I finished school and started university whenever I need to remind myself of the dreams and goals my younger self had. I think it’s important to keep dreaming and to have the actions to back up those goals.
What would you say a watch adds to an outfit?
AAA 2024 Cartier replica watches represent how you view time. They are symbolic of its value.
What’s the timepiece you are most often wearing these days?
Tell us its story and why you love it. I recently bought a beautiful diamond Swiss 1:1 replica Cartier Baignoire watches. It’s a watch you need to wind and I love how I need to take care of it (by winding it every so often) so it keeps going. If that isn’t a metaphor for life in general, I don’t know what is!
This one cheap Cartier super clone watches is special to me because it’s the first watch I bought myself. I am fully embracing this stage of my life, being in my Thirties, so a dress watch seems appropriate to own.
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Cartier? For me, it’s probably a classic, rectangular Tank Solo with a white dial. For others, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was one of a few others – Santos, Love Bracelet, perhaps even a leashed panther. But how many think of a red-dialled, platinum AAA Cartier replica watches that runs in reverse?
Okay, the picture I paint of the UK 1:1 fake Cartier Santos-Dumont Rewind watches is a bit extreme – the reality is, as you’d expect from Cartier, a lot more refined. But that’s exactly the intrigue that surrounds this recent release, as it’s a move I’d expect from a micro or independent as opposed to a brand of the calibre of Cartier (pun fully intended). So, how exactly did Cartier achieve this, and why did it choose to go in this direction? I can answer at least one of those questions objectively.
The movement
Seeing as the reverse running of the Rewind is its main novelty, let’s start with the movement. Cartier denotes the movement powering the Santos-Dumont Rewind as the 230 MC, which is a variant of the widely adopted 430 MC with reversed gearing. This 18-jewel calibre provides a 38-hour power reserve, beating at 3Hz, but only measuring 2.1mm in height. Breaking down its origins further, the movement is actually developed from Piaget’s 430P, an unsurprising fact considering Piaget’s efforts in ultra-thin watchmaking. Sure, the result is perhaps not as impressive as some of Cartier’s other haute horlogerie efforts à la Masse Mystérieuse, but it is proof that cheap Cartier replica watches is capable of manufacturing unique complications.
The closed caseback doesn’t reveal much in terms of finishing, but the 430 MC is usually adorned with Cartier logo-embossed plates and circularly brushed wheels, so I’d expect the 230 MC to follow a similar course. Considering the level of decoration, I’m not mad Cartier chose not to display it.
The dial
Now, for the thing you’ll spend the most time looking at, both for its beauty and the sure-fire confusion that is to ensue. The highly reflective Roman numeral indices are applied to a carnelian red stone dial, matched by delicate Breguet-style hands. There is no mention of its unique time-telling way on the dial – at first glance, the Rewind could easily pass as a regular high quality copy Cartier Santos-Dumont watches. You’ve still got the signature white railroad minutes running around the dial’s perimeter, matched in colour by the minimal Cartier script above the pinion.
If you’re wondering whether there’s a trick in deciphering the Rewind’s dial, allowing you to easily get adjusted to its reverse running – well, there isn’t one. At least not one that I’ve figured out. However, through the process of writing this review, I’ve actually become more and more accustomed to telling the time with it: I am glad that Swiss made Cartier replica watches went with numerals over just stick indices, as I envision those as taking a lot longer to get used to.
The case
I know that the novelty of the top fake Cartier Santos-Dumont Rewind watches is the stone dial and reversed movement, but the platinum case has to be one of my favourites from any brand, period. The dimensions are pretty much perfect for a dressy-leaning all-rounder, and the platinum construction adds in any heft that might be lost thanks to the diminutive sizing.
At 31.4mm in width and 7.3mm in height, the best replica Cartier Santos-Dumont Rewind watches makes the most of the ultra-thin movement, leaving enough room for elegant lugs that stretch out to 43.5mm. The mirror-polished reflective bezel is picked up by other polished highlights on the lug bevels and crown, with the remainder of the case a highly textured brushed finish. The ruby cabochon on the beaded crown telegraphs that this is a platinum Cartier: a flex in the most Cartier of ways.
The strap
If you’ve ever come across Cartier’s lacquered Santos-Dumont models, you would’ve experienced the burgundy alligator leather strap featured on the Rewind. It’s the perfect stylistic choice considering the overall colour scheme, finished in a platinum folding clasp.
The verdict
Between the fantastically wearing case and deep red dial, the Santos-Dumont is a compelling watch. But the inclusion of the Rewind’s reversed 230 MC calibre quite literally flips the proposition on its head. It’s no longer just a cool new luxury Cartier super clone watches, but also a unique complication proposition done in a thoroughly uncomplicated way. The fact that this is a 200-piece limited edition means it’s already an exclusive release, made appealing to an even smaller pool of potential customers thanks to its quirky time-telling.
It’s not the first backwards-running Cartier replica watches wholesale – the brand has done something similar with the Santos Galbée Rotation Inversée – but if anything, it makes a lot more sense in a platinum-cased, special-occasion watch that will entice the keenest of Cartier collectors.
Cartier Santos-Dumont Rewind pricing and availability
The Cartier Santos-Dumont Rewind is a limited edition of 200 pieces. Price: US$38,400
Arecent visit to the Cartier Manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds in the canton of Neuchâtel, Switzerland – where the maison’s iconic timepieces are created and assembled – reveals an impressive 33,000-square-metre space that’s one of the largest fully integrated watch production facilities in the country, and the meeting point of watchmaking tradition and horological innovation.
To step into the inner sanctum that is the Cartier Manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds is to discover the extraordinary processes involved to create perfect UK Cartier replica watches, which begins with the design and development phase: sketches, mock-ups and prototypes.
This is followed by the conception stage when the technical aspect of the watch is worked on and what is referred to as “industrialisation”. The latter involves looking into the manufacturing of each component and creating the tools required to make them, as well as the assembly of the watch. Finally comes the actual watch production, followed by a rigorous inspection on the completed timepieces before they’re sent to various retail boutiques. These steps, however, represent a very simplified timeline – the dedication and commitment that go into the creation of every 1:1 China Cartier fake watches is a lengthy process. Perfection, after all, takes time.
Every new timepiece and its components like the dial, case, bracelet and sapphire crystal must go through a validation phase. This encompasses mechanical and chemical tests carried out in controlled lab settings, such as resistance to shocks and magnetism, waterproofness, climatic and even acidic tests to simulate the effect of perspiration on the high quality Cartier copy watches.
At any stage, the Cartier Manufacture has about 150 projects running at once, with the development of each new watch ranging from one to two years – depending on its complexity. During our visit, which happened to be the day before the start of the 2024 edition of Watches and Wonders Geneva, we were fortunate to get a first glimpse of a prototype of the exciting luxury replica Reflection de Cartier Collection watches launched at the watch event.
Following the Clash [Un]limited and Coussin watches, the Swiss made Reflection de Cartier replica watches continues the odyssey of magic, illusion and fascination. The result of Cartier’s work on shapes, it combines the savoir-faire from Cartier watchmakers and jewellers alike. At the core is the open bracelet’s unprecedented generous architecture, which blends openwork and polished reflective gold with elongated lines and defined edges. Tension culminates as a delicate dial meets its reflection, where time appears to move backwards. The gem-like bevelled glass on the dial marks the piece’s double identity – equal in sophistication and precision.
This structure has given rise to a watch in white gold that explores the effects of materials through combinations of paved settings, while the snow setting and inverted setting combine to give both tactile and sparkling appeal. And we got to see it first where it was actually created!
Inaugurated in 2001, the Cartier Manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds brings together most of the professions involved int he production of top Cartier super clone watches, from design to administrative and support departments – some 850 highly experienced employees apply their skills here, be it with non-circular watches, traditional watches, or high jewellery watch creations.
From the design sketches to finished products, the manufacture controls the various stages of production and the interactions between all the collaborators, allowing them to produce creations which meet best quality replica Cartier watches‘ high standard of quality.
During the initial design and development stage, the mission of the design office is to translate what the designers have imagined into concrete plans that can be configured and produced using industrial watchmaking equipment, while ensuring compliance with the specifications from a technical and aesthetic point of view. Using 3D printers, resin mock-ups of the model are first made to check the aesthetic. The next step is to build a working prototype. A technical report is drawn up for each watch and accompanies it throughout the manufacturing process.
Based on the technical dossier, the expertise and skills required, the Industrial Processes department defines the industrial process(es) needed for the model’s manufacturing and ensures ongoing improvements. Pre-production allows these processes to be checked before launching production in “real” quantities which correspond to the launch quantities defined according to market expectations.
In the manufacture’s workshops, production combines tradition and modernity with hand craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology dedicated to the production of mirrors, hands and links. It is in these workshops that the mineral crystals are made which, unlike sapphire crystals, can be used to create complex shapes that are perfectly suited to the maison’s shaped Cartier fake watches wholesale, through traditional savoir-faire. Although the thickness and size of the sheet determine the chevage time (when it is heated to very high temperatures), it is the operator who validates the work through visual inspection alone. No machine can make decisions or take control.
Committed to acquiring all the artistry that is required to create them, Cartier replica watches for sale is one of the rare brands to have been manufacturing its own watch hands since 2002. In fact, 85 percent of the hands produced by the manufacture are blue, a colour recognised as a Cartier signature.
Unlike the production of mineral crystals and hands, link production uses cutting-edge technology. To process the metal sections (or bars) and turn them into links, eight processing operations are carried out on high-performance machines, controlled by highly-skilled operators. The figures speak for themselves: nine bars can be processed simultaneously; the eight machining operations are completed in 30 seconds per link for the simplest models, and up to 90 seconds for more complex models. The machines have to be adjusted to a very high degree of precision, which can take between two and 16 hours. For Cartier, investing in such machinery is a guarantee of the excellence and reliability of its bracelets.
To ensure the quality and reliability of the cheap replica Cartier watches, checks are made throughout its entire life cycle, from validation during the development process to the final check. Intermediate checks are made during assembly before the strap is fitted. Final checks are also carried out before the watches are sent to boutiques.
Created in 2014 and located in an exquisitely restored historical building next to the La Chaux-de-Fonds Manufacture, a visit to the LEED Platinum-certified Maison des Métiers d’Art was a personal highlight. It is the result of a bold vision for best Cartier fake watches, which affirms its respect and determination to bring artisanal crafts together to interact with one another in a quest for continuous innovation. Preserving, sharing and innovating; these are the missions of this unique site, where ancestral techniques, most often passed down orally from generation to generation and in danger of being forgotten, are rediscovered, reinterpreted and adapted in line with modern techniques.
This is also where these areas of expertise meet and combine to give rise to new practices. A technical and cultural heritage that Cartier protects and develops with passion.
At the Maison des Métiers d’Art, the crafts are divided into three main families: the art of fire (mastery of enamelling techniques and gold fragmentation), the art of metal (Etruscan granulation, filigree and flamed metal) and the art of composition (mosaics and marquetry in wood, straw, flowers, wood and gold, straw and gold, etc.). It’s a non-exhaustive list, and one that’s impressive for its specificity, without even mentioning the art of master watchmakers specialising in haute horlogerie, jewellers and gem-setters.
A common objective shared by all departments of the Cartier Manufacture is a constant exchange between creativity and technique, ancestral savoir-faire, and cutting-edge technology – a collaboration between all professions, united around a single goal: technology in the service of design. It is this unique DNA, along with the quality and precision of the maison’s craftsmanship that meets the demands of a passionate clientele, that Cartier cultivates in its manufactures. This rare alchemy, which characterises all Cartier creations, enables the maison to design and offer products crafted with innovative technology and design: Coussin, Révélation, Clash[Un] limited, invention of specific and adapted systems (photovoltaic movement, Smartlink/ QuickSwitch), amongst others.
Beyond the creation and production processes, customer service is another important aspect of the Manufacture’s operations. Swiss made Cartier replica watches are serviced for life. While simpler repairs are done at (or through) the boutique, more complex work is done here – like making parts for older models that aren’t available anymore.
As our behind-the-scenes visit to the world of watchmaking at Cartier draws to a close, I leave with profound respect for the men and women – the extraordinary craftspeople – who spend hours upon hours, bent over in deep concentration at their benches, to apply their skills. With that also comes an understanding why every 2024 online Cartier fake watches is so much more than just an instrument that tells the time.
