Drive de Cartier is the new series from Cartier inspired by classic cars and comes with three calibers. The Cartier Drive de Cartier 1904-PS MC is the ‘entry’ model.

The caliber 1904 MC, created in 2010, was among the first movements conceived, developed and assembled by the Cartier Manufacture. Some details are the Côtes de Genève decoration on the bridges and the oscillating weight, and the polished screw-heads. This 11 ½ line caliber has been designed to maintain perfect chronometric stability, harnessing a double barrel system to ensure consistency of the mainspring torque over a long period.

The Cartier Drive de Cartier 1904-PS MC is available in steel or rose gold

The 1904-PS MC comes with a steel or rose gold case with either a white/silver or black dial. The higher positioned 1904-FU MC comes with a steel or rose gold case with either a white/silver or grey dial. The top model is the Flying Tourbillon with caliber 9452 MC which is only available in rose gold with a white/silver dial.

The patterning of the guilloché dial has the design of a radiator grill, sort of. The Roman numerals and the sword-shaped hands make the watch look very classic. The case has a height of 40 millimeters and is 41 millimeters wide, and has a transparent case back.
