The 1904-CH MC is created so the chronograph’s central passed-seconds hands may also be used like a running seconds hands. The 2 barrels conserve a constant degree of drive torque individually from the winding status of the mainsprings, which ensures rate stability and precision. Our rate measurements reveal that the great rate continues once the chronograph is running. The outcomes remain pretty much identical following the watch continues to be permitted to operate for twenty-four hrs without additional winding. When the Rotonde de Cartier Chronograph is worn regularly, it'll will often have fully wound mainsprings. The rotor, which turns easily inside a sturdy ceramic ball bearing, winds the movement both in its directions of rotation. Bidirectional winding is achieved utilizing an alternator by having an innovative pawl-click system, which accelerates the winding speed.
The stopwatch function is controlled using a column wheel with vertical coupling
You will see the column wheel by peering with the azure window within the caseback after which searching much more deeply in to the movement with an aperture within the upper bridge. The chronograph’s functions are triggered using two elongated push-pieces. Their large size helps make the stopwatch simple to operate and also the column wheel helps to ensure that all switching sequences run easily.

The zero-return function is blocked as the chronograph is running. Cartier achieved this by using a straight line heart lever within the movement. The lever ensures the synchronised return of passed-time hands for their zero positions individually from the pressure exerted around the push-piece. The vertical coupling helps to ensure that the chronograph starts and stops precisely. But regardless of the technical complexity, Cartier hasn’t overlooked aesthetic finesse. Additionally to Geneva waves and satin finishing, circular graining embellishes the hidden sides of numerous components. The fine adjustment system for that balance is definitely an eye-catcher, too: the C-formed regulator with eccentric screw not just facilitates ultra-precise setting additionally, it underscores the brand’s identity.
Roman numerals around the dial and “Cartier” in signature type over the two subdials highlight the brand’s identity, too. (It’s rather difficult to nicely print the brand’s name around the silver-plated and guilloché-embellished brass background.) A sunray pattern adorns the primary dial, while concentric circles decorate the subdials. The minutes are counted along a railway-style circle using Arabic numerals at five-minute times the hrs are proven by Roman numerals and index strokes.

Where passed seconds are marked based on the 4-Hz rhythm from the caliber. Seconds are proven with a slim, needle-like hands, which complements the 2 Breguet-style hour and minutes hands. It makes sense a harmonious group of blued stainless-steel hands, which are simple to read during the day. The blued hands match the pointed blue spinel cabochon atop the winding crown, another sign of Cartier watches. The crown is simple to understand because of its shape and also the beading around its edge. Both features boost the sporty-elegance from the situation. The big push-pieces and screw-attached strap lugs look sporty, while elegance is viewed within the conical lines from the middle area of the situation, which tapers toward the rear, in which the azure window is affixed via screws. The situation is water-resistant, but regrettably simply to 30 meters.
The timepiece includes a high-quality
Leather strap that inserts without stops from each side right into a folding clasp that pivots somewhere only. This allows the wearer personalize body from the strap, with a certain lightness and it is comfortable to put on. It requires a little bit of pressure to spread out the clasp, which reacts to a powerful tug on its bow, that is formed such as the “C” within the “Cartier” name.
