Overview

The Calibre de Cartier W7100015 is a 42 mm stainless steel dress watch built around Cartier's manufacture calibre 1904-PS MC, introduced as part of the Calibre de Cartier line launched in 2010. Its silvered opaline dial carries oversized Roman numerals and a prominent XII, hallmarks of Cartier's classical dial architecture. The reference represents a pivotal chapter in Cartier's modern history, when the maison committed fully to producing its own movements.

History

The Calibre de Cartier collection debuted in 2010 as Cartier's statement that it had joined the ranks of true manufacture houses, with the in-house 1904-PS MC calibre at its heart. The W7100015 remained in production through 2018, giving it a solid eight-year run that allowed it to become one of the more recognisable references in the line. Collectors regard the Calibre series as a turning point for Cartier, bridging the brand's jewellery-house heritage with serious horological ambition. The reference is now a steady presence on the secondary market, appreciated for its wearability and the integrity of its movement.
