With a refined design and practical functions, Rotonde de Cartier confidently evokes the maison's characteristic sophistication. It presents a 40mm round steel case and a silver dial that is exceptionally legible with its dark Roman numeral hour markers and blue Breguet hands that add a welcome dash of colour. A date aperture showing three dates with an arrow pointing to the current date rests conspicuously below the 12 o'clock marker. Despite its unique form, the date window blends seamlessly with the other dial furniture, in no way complicating the straightforward nature of the dial. The same is true for the power reserve indicator at six.

Inside the slim 8.94mm thin case beats the calibre 9753. It's a manually-wound movement, only 2.1mm high, with a 38-hour power reserve. This Rotonde de Cartier is a modern classic that effortlessly adds an understated charm to any look, whether work or pleasure.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
