Rotonde de Cartier Earth & Moon
The Rotonde de Cartier Earth and Moon is a sophisticated timepiece with a tourbillon, second timezone and on-demand moon phase decorated with meteorite. The 47mm 18-carat pink gold case frames a dial partially decorated with meteorite, and partially decorated with an 18-carat white gold grid that forms exploding Roman numerals. Sword-shaped hands in blued steel indicate the home time on a meteorite dial; a second time zone is indicated in an openwork arch that frames the home time. The pusher at 2 o'clock sets the second timezone. The pusher at 4 o'clock activates the moon phase on-demand. Price is $235,000.

Panthères & Colibri
The Cartier Panthères et Colibri features a clever on-demand power reserve indicator. When the crown is pressed, the panther's cub leaps towards the hummingbird, and hummingbird flies towards the top of dial. The hummingbird's position indicates the power remaining in the timepiece's 72-hour power reserve.
The 9915 MC movement comprises of 367 component parts, runs at 4Hz, and has an approximate power reserve of at least three full days (72-hours). The 42.75mm-wide white gold case is set with 314 brilliant cut diamonds. Price for the Cartier Panthères et Colibri is $179,000 or $381,000 with diamonds.
