Continuing with their mysterious hours’ concept, AAA Cartier Replica continues to explore mysterious complications to play with illusion and the perception of time and the Cartier Masse Mystérieuse is the result of that.
Activated by the movement, which is usually housed in the clock’s base, these discs then turn the hands, one for the minutes hand and the other for the hours hand. So that the illusion is perfect, the edges of the discs are concealed by the hour circle.
But this time Cartier has gone above and beyond to create a special movement that took 8 years to develop to make things even more impressive. The Cartier Masse Mystérieuse Replica is a spectacular watch that turns to the rhythm of an original movement. The magic of a mobile calibre condensed into a semi-circle, transformed into a skeletonized oscillating weight.
Things To Know About The Watch
The Best Cartier Masse Mystérieuse Replica watch brings together two of the Maison’s watchmaking signatures: the mysterious movement and the skeleton. Everything, right down to the technology, is infused with design and aesthetics.
Since the mystery clocks first appeared in the 1910s, the movement has not only been miniaturized to fit watch cases but, for this new creation, it has also been reimagined to make the oscillating weight a real ornament.

A second version in platinum set with baguette-cut diamonds, as well as a third version set with baguette-cut diamonds and a platinum bracelet set with baguette-cut diamonds are also available.
The Movement

The new calibre 9801 MC ensures the effects of gravity do not affect the chronometer. On the Cartier Replica, the hands float in the space of the case, without being connected to any gears.
All components that receive energy from the movement, transmission, and regulation are integrated into the rotor. The rotor itself is skeletonized to make this moving spectacle visible.A technical feat that comes to life at the slightest touch of the wearer and seamlessly displays the time to the rhythm of the hands in the void.
On this piece, the Replica Watches most technical and complex piece ever developed by the Manufacture’s watchmakers, the mysterious rotor uses an innovative principle that ensures the balance wheel always remains in the same vertical position. For this to happen, the rotor rotates in both directions at an irregular speed to provide a power reserve of 42 hours.
