The number of watches in the limited edition will be 1000. The grandeur style and the features are not at all diluted. These hold now huge value due to its specialty and antiquity.



1962 is legendary in all sense. By this year the space race had begun and the heat was on the great nation. Breitling, a supplier to aviation for both civilian and military, had come out with the Cosmonaute, an instrument indicating the 24 hours of a day in a single sweep of the dial. It was a space-going version of Navitimer chronograph. This has reduced any confusion between night and day. The great day was on 24th May 1962 when the astronaut Scott Carpenter tested this chronograph under orbital environments during his orbital flight in the Aurora 7 capsule. The Cosmonaute watches Limited Edition come with intriguing finish and with the rigid perforated Air Racer bracelet adding its beauty.

About Flying Tourbillon

The most remarkable part of this Cartier timepiece is the Flying Tourbillon itself. Do you know what the tourbillon is? A Tourbillon is a horological invention discovered in 1795 by Abraham-Louis Breguet, the French watchmaker. A tourbillon is a device that neutralizes the effects of gravity. It works because of fascinating idea - to place the escapement and balance wheel inside a rotating frame. Ballon Bleu features a variation of the original tourbillon called Flying Tourbillon. It was created by Alfred Helwig - famous watchmaker who is also an instructor at the national School of Watchmaking in Germany. The Cartier Tourbillon is not supported by a bridge, being only kept by one side.
