Cartier Cartier Drive de Cartier watch

The Cartier Drive de Cartier is a standout model from Cartier’s latest collection, unveiled at SIHH 2025. While newly introduced, it draws inspiration from vintage Cartier designs, offering a timeless aesthetic combined with modern watchmaking excellence.

The watch features a 40mm cushion-shaped case in stainless steel or rose gold, providing a bold and masculine presence on the wrist. Its dial showcases classic Cartier elements: Roman numeral hour markers, blue steel sword-shaped hands, a train-track minute scale, and a guilloché wave pattern that adds depth and sophistication. The crown is elegantly set with an octagonal-cut sapphire, reinforcing its refined look.

Inside, the 1904 MC-PS automatic movement powers the Cartier Drive de Cartier, where “PS” refers to Petite Secondes. This in-house movement beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers a 48-hour power reserve. Collectors can admire the meticulously finished main plate and rotor through the sapphire case back.

The combination of the cushion-shaped case and the sleek dial design ensures the Cartier Drive de Cartier is both elegant and commanding. With a retail price starting around USD 6,250 for the stainless steel version, it is one of Cartier’s most accessible watches with an in-house movement, appealing to both new collectors and seasoned enthusiasts.
