. Round case shapes, blued steel hands carved into a sword profile and large crisp black Roman numerals join additional features like a 24-hour scale for intuitive timekeeping. Elegant in design and timeless in style, Ronde de Cartier watches for men and women branch into popular sub-categories that include the Ronde Solo watch range and the most recently added Ronde Must watch line.

The Ronde de Cartier watch collection is an elegant family of timepieces that cover popular models like the Ronde Solo watch and the Ronde Must watch. Since the Parisian brand’s beginnings, a solid focus on beautiful details, quality materials and expert craftsmanship has always been considered paramount. Louis-Francois Cartier first opened his jewellery workshop in 1847 and eventually handed the business down to his son Alfred in 1874 before the brand's first timepiece appeared in the accounts book in 1888. This lady’s luxury wristwatch sparked a huge interest in timekeeping, leading to many exquisite watch collections that went on to gain global acclaim for their distinct aesthetics and refined style. The Ronde de Cartier watch collection itself launched in 2009 and has since branched out to sub-categories - all of which offer collectors a unique blend of innovation and tradition.

Cartier watches from the Ronde de Cartier collection are round in shape and upon first glance look similar to Ballon Bleu de Cartier watches. A closer look, however, reveals many differences both in detail and style but as a general rule, those who have been drawn to Ballon Bleu de Cartier watches in the past are certain to share the same fondness for these elegant models. Within the Ronde de Cartier watch collection lives the Ronde Solo watch - a timepiece often characterised by its silver circular brushed dial and beautiful blued steel hands. Large Roman numerals and a rail-track minute circle also join this list of distinguishable features belonging to the Ronde de Cartier watch collection, yet a selection of colourful interchangeable leather straps and bracelets add further flexibility to this line. Spanning from 29mm quartz Ronde de Cartier watches to 36mm automatic models for women and larger 42mm Ronde de Cartier watches for men - this broad and varied collection of elegant luxury timepieces is by far one of the company’s most diverse and innovative to choose from.

Although Ronde Solo watches from Cartier are certainly one of the more popular iterations from this special range, so are Ronde Must watches. The Ronde Must watch is a relatively young model that is offered in a choice of sizes including 29mm, 36mm and 40mm. Having revisited the Tank Must watch, Cartier went on to release a new twist on the Must watch design with the release of the Ronde Must de Cartier timepiece. A perfectly round case frames a dial with a rail-track minute scale that this time foregoes the 24-hour scale frequently seen in Ronde de Cartier watches. Instead, a more spacious dial is afforded, albeit these timepieces keep their sword-shaped steel hands and their Roman numeral hour markers. Ronde Must de Cartier watches offer a little something for both male and female Cartier enthusiasts. The larger 40mm men’s models are powered by an automatic movement that produces a 42-hour power reserve, whilst the smaller women’s Cartier Ronde Must watches are powered by quartz movements.
