WHAT WE LOVE:
The Cartier Ballon Bleu has become one of the brand’s most iconic silhouettes — and for good reason. It blends traditional watchmaking with bold modern design, framed by its rounded pebble-like case and the distinctive integrated crown guard that gives the model its name (“ballon” referring to the crown’s orb-like cabochon sapphire).
This 2023 example, reference WSBB0048, offers a 36mm case in polished stainless steel — an ideal unisex size that sits beautifully on a wide range of wrists. The signature silver guilloché dial, blued steel sword hands, and black Roman numerals create an unmistakable Cartier aesthetic. At 3 o’clock, the crown nestles into the dial’s arc, causing a subtle interruption in the numerals — a charming, deliberate design move.
Whether worn daily or reserved for special occasions, the Ballon Bleu combines elegance and personality in equal measure. It’s instantly recognisable, effortlessly luxurious, and built with Cartier’s attention to detail.
WHAT'S INSIDE:
The Cartier WSBB0048 is powered by a self-winding mechanical movement, the Calibre 076 — offering smooth automatic winding, 38 hours of power reserve, and proven Swiss reliability. While it’s hidden behind a solid caseback, the movement provides the kind of trouble-free performance expected of a modern luxury piece.
