Among the women with a leading role in watchmaking it is easy to think about Carole Forestier-Kasapi, Head of movement creation at Cartier.
“I am still learning!” she says, but she was born in the watchmaking world.  Her father, her mother and her brother were all watchmakers. She learned from her father, in Paris: “as a child, I was always in the shop where my father worked and I started dismantling different watches. My brother started in the same way, and wanted just to fix the mechanisms to get them to work. Getting them to work was not my goal. I’ve always been very curious, and like to know how things work – not only regarding horology. My goal was to figure out how the watches worked, and the possibilities to get them to work in a different way”.

At the age of 16, she left Paris to go to La Chaux-de-Fonds to start watchmaking studies… and she stood because all the manufactures are in Switzerland. From 1991 she workes in watchmaking.

Today she is proud of her team. They managed a revolution within Cartier: in 2008 the first Catier watch with in-house movement has been produced. Starting from that year, they developed 29 in-house movements as well as two basic calibers: the 1904PSMC and the 1904CHMC chronograph—and two ID concept watches that challenge traditional watchmaking ideas.

Today Ms. Forestier-Kasapi is working on pieces for 2019: “Working so far ahead of release, we have no trends to follow and no limitations in how far we can go. Some of our ideas are truly revolutionary and the most important quality I can have is confidence, confidence in my own ability to translate ideas into reality. I have to be convinced that I am right.”

Alberto Santos-Dumont, a joung aviator from Brasil, had the idea of a watch to be worn on the wrist in order to be easily readable while flying on an airplane. He asked to his friend Louis Cartier to develop it, and in 1904 the wristwatch -that today still has the Santos name- was born.

Alberto Santos-Dumont is nowadays probably more famous because of his contribute to watchmaking than to his aviation success. However he was famous because of his 14-Bis, the first engine airplane that allowed him to fly over Paris.

Sill nowadays Cartier celebrates its history and design: the Santos collection includes today many models with different shapes and materials. Among them, you can distinguish the Santos-Dumont for its rectangular shape; the Santos-Galbée for the visible screws; the Santos 100, made to celebrate the centenary of the watch, for its XXL size; the Santos Demoiselle, the smallest size for lady, called as the airplane of Santos-Dumont.

In 2014, this Manufacture watch opens a new chapter with a diving version: the Calibre de Cartier Diver. A unidirectional bezel, water-resistant to 300 metres, hands and dive-time indicator in superluminova: the Calibre de Cartier Diver meets all the criteria for a diver’s watch as laid down in the international standard, entitling it to carry the engraving “Diver’s watch 300 m” on the case back. For protection, the Calibre de Cartier Diver is fitted with a thick crystal, a screw back, oversized seals and a screw-in crown that ensure water-resistance to 300 metres. The watch has demonstrated its resistance to salt water after immersion in a solution of sodium chloride (30g/l) at 18°C – 25°C for 24 hours. Furthermore, after spending 50 hours at a depth of 30 centimetres at 18°C – 25°C, it continues to function perfectly under water. This authentic diver’s watch does not sacrify everyday comfort on the wrist, in a balanced case measuring just 11 mm in thickness.

In the all-steel or pink gold versions on a black rubber strap, the Calibre de Cartier Diver shows all the characteristics of the very first Calibre de Cartier model created in 2010. It has the same powerful shape, robust case and Manufacture movement 1904 MC. Introduced in 2010, the 1904 MC was the first self-winding movement to be developed and assembled by Cartier’s watchmakers. Its symbolic name recalls the spirit of Louis Cartier who, in 1904, created one of the very first modern wristwatches for his friend, the pilot Alberto Santos-Dumont. More than a century later, the 1904 MC movement is writing a new chapter in Cartier watchmaking.
This 11 ½ ligne calibre has been designed to maintain perfect chronometric stability thanks to a double barrel that guarantees excellent constancy of the mainspring torque over a long period. Fitted with a fine regulating system and a stop-second mechanism, it has been conceived to enable the Manufacture to perfectly adjust its chronometry, guaranteeing that it runs with great precision. The rotor of the 1904 MC calibre is mounted on a central ceramic ball-bearing that gives it excellent shock-resistance and ensures its durability. An even more inventive development is a ratchet system of bidirectional winding that makes the watch quicker and more comfortable to wind.
