Cartier has a history of creating clocks and timepieces with a magical and mysterious element to them. Since 1912 the creation of the first mystery clocks, newspapers marveled at these creations, whose hands seemed to float in rock crystal, separate from the movement. For over 100 years Cartier continues to deliver clocks and wristwatches that use these fundamental principles to deliver something truly magical. The Cartier Rotonde Mysteriuse reference 3551 in yellow gold is no exception. Through the inclusion of the Calibre 9981 MC, the movement employs a modular structure, with the main gears occupying the crescent area of the case, with an independent display module housing the crystal discs, allowing the hands to begin to revolve in the void as if it were magic. The current lot, in great condition, and including all its original accessories, is a true homage to the wonder that is Cartier's mystery timepieces and would be a beloved addition to any collection.
