Known as the King of Shape, Cartier has made some of the most elegant timepieces with simple yet elegant shapes. The Tortue (Turtle) was one of their earliest design, first introduced in 1912. And one of the most renowned vintage Cartier is a Tortue Monopusher that features movement made by European Watch & Clock Co.

In the 1990s to the early 2000s, Cartier introduced their CPCP (Collection Privée Cartier Paris) line, where it features not only the historical designs but also combined with complicated mechanical movements.

One of the most well-known is this Tortue Monopussoir, that was first introduced in 1998. It is a modern interpretation of the highly coveted vintage Tortue Monopusher chronograph.

The case measures at 34mm x 43mm and this one in 18K White Gold. It features a crown with faceted sapphire that works as the single chronograph pusher.

This version is a 200 piece limited edition with a white color rosette guilloche pattern, blue round minute track, chronograph counters and big roman numeral XII. The other hour marker is simplified with a white metal round bead keeping the watch to be simple and elegant. It also features a pair of blue Breguet style hands and chronograph hands.

The Tortue Monopoussoir is powered by the Cal. 045MC that was developed by the THA Èbauche, a movement manufacture founded in 1996 by three of the biggest name in the independent watchmaking today, Vianney Halter, Denis Flageollet of De Bethune and Francois Paul Journe.
