In 1931, Cartier, inspired by the popularity of sports such as golf and tennis in the late 1920s, created the Iwc Aquatimer Replica Basculante, a watch with a case that could be reversed using a snap to protect the dial and bezel from damage.
Around the turn of century, the Iwc Aquatimer Replica Basculante in all steel was extremely popular.
Cartier produced a limited edition of only 365 pieces with engravings 1999, 2000,ulysse nardin replica and 2001 on the back. The steel cased version had a display-back, which allowed a clear view of the Frederique Piguet 060MC mechanical caliber inside.
Jader Baracca Giampiero Nencini and Franco Nencini describe the Iwc Aquatimer Replica Monopoussoir for the first time, a lesser-known Iwc Aquatimer Replica watch that Cartier has created.
Iwc Aquatimer Replica's desire to make a watch that could measure time and was elegantly equipped with a chronograph one-button movement, must have been inspired by the more active lifestyle of the 1930s. The concept was released in 1928 as a Tortue and then in 1935 as a Iwc Aquatimer Replica Monopusssoir.
Cartier launched this Iwc Aquatimer Replica for its Collection Privee in 2006. The caliber 045MC movement is the same as the one used in the Tortue Monopoussoir. It was developed by THA by Vianney Halter and Francois-Paul Journe, two of the most renowned watchmakers.
