Cartier Ballon Bleu de Cartier 36mm Steel Silver WSBB0028
Cartier built its name on shapes: the square Santos in 1904, the rectangular Tank, the oval Baignoire. A plain round watch was the surprise, and the Ballon Bleu, which came out in 2007, made it work with curves instead of corners. The case swells like a balloon, with a crown tucked into a rounded guard, and the crown carries a blue spinel cabochon that seems to float inside it. That blue stone gives the watch its name.
This is the 36mm size, a medium that suits almost any wrist and is a good unisex size. The case is polished steel, 12.1mm thick, with a sapphire crystal and a fluted crown, and it’s water resistant to 30 meters. The dial is silver with a guilloché pattern, an engraved texture that catches the light, and Roman numerals with blued steel sword-shaped hands on top. Inside is an automatic movement, so it winds from the motion of your wrist. It’s on a black alligator strap with a steel deployant clasp, and the strap is interchangeable.
This one is from 2021, in excellent condition, and it comes with its original box and papers.
