The High Quality Replica Cartier Clé de Cartier in steel On Sale in Australian

The Parisian powerhouse  released its excellent, and highly anticipated, men’s watch this year – the fake Clé de Cartier in steel. It’s no secret that we fell pretty hard for the Clé when we first met at SIHH 2015. The only potential spanner in the works? It was only available in pricey precious metals. Well, if you’re less about the shiny stuff and more about the stainless, you’re in luck.

The dial

cartier cle steel

It is a good thing when it comes to dial and handset that it doesn’t often mess with their trademark attributes. So, expect the expected: Roman numerals, blued sword hands and guilloché centre detail. It’s a simple design, but not boring. There’s enough detail here, from the multiple dial finishes, through to the well-designed date and the secret signature to reward close examination. And of course it all looks gorgeous under that softly domed sapphire crystal.

The case

cartier cle steel

If the dial is traditional Cartier, the case is where the brand has flexed their design prowess. The circle in an oval case design manages to look at once classic and contemporary, with a healthy dash of ‘70s retro thrown in. And then there’s the novel key shaped crown, set with a blue synthetic spinel. All told, this 40mm case makes quite an impression. It works because Cartier lived and breathed through all these eras. If a younger brand tried to pull of these look it would look overly self-conscious at best. But because Cartier is Cartier, it just works. The Clé looks good in steel too, with the same finishes as the white gold version. You’d be hard pressed to tell the difference without feeling the weight in your hands.

The bracelet

The steel Clé is supplied on a matching bracelet, in the same style as the gold versions. It’s an interesting design, with brushed centre links and alternating wide and narrow outer links. Visually it looks distinctive, with plenty of surfaces and finishes for light to bounce around on. For me though it’s not the most comfortable design in steel (gold might wear better or softer – but I’ve not tried it). The finish was also not as fine as I would have hoped, nor did it feel substantial, compared to similar offerings from the likes of Rolex or Omega.

The verdict

cartier cle steel

It’s clear Cartier is making a concerted assault on men’s wrists this year, and it’s a campaign with many fronts. The Drive occupies the centre, but there’s also the fake Santos 100 Carbon and this, newly accessible Clé. The real question is, now that the Drive is the brands flagship men’s model – where does the Clé fit in? Well, if you find the Santos too chunky and the Drive too dainty, the Clé, with its blend of substantial case and timeless, bordering on retro style, is a great middle ground.

Talking point

Yes it’s lovely, but is it white gold or steel?

Who’s it for?

Love Cartier’s classy elegance, but not quite ready for a Tank or the Drive? Meet Clé.

What would we change?

The bracelet. I’d wear this replica watch on leather (croc or calf, both would look great) over the supplied steel everyday.

The dark elegance of the Replica Cartier Santos 100 Carbon

Maybe you have forgotten that Cartier’s only men’s release of 2016 was the Drive de Cartier. But in addition to this handsome new collection Cartier decided to revive one of the dark horses of their collection – the Replica Santos 100 Carbon.

Until 2012, if the regular metal versions of the Santos weren’t your thing, you could opt for a version decked out in ADLC (amorphous diamond-like carbon). This year Cartier has reintroduced the replica Carbon Santos 100 in the tough-looking (and virtually scratch-proof) black ADLC coating. What’s different this time around? Well, now you get the in-house 1847 MC automatic movement, which adds value and shows that Cartier is still committed to integrate manufacture movements across their collections.

Replica Cartier Santos 100 Carbon

Cartier is renowned for its replica square and rectangular timepieces, and aside from the Tank, the Santos 100 is one of their most iconic designs. The Santos was designed for pioneering aviator Albert Santos Dumont, who wanted to be able to tell the time while flying back in 1904 – so simplicity and maximum legibility was front of mind. These day’s it’s often the model for those that are looking for something a little bolder, and at 51.1mm by 41.3mm the Santos 100 is plenty bold. But even though the watch is fully blacked out, it’s unmistakably Cartier. Bringing the black Santos 100 back makes perfect sense when you think about it. This casually  replica elegant watch, with its textile strap and popping red second hand, offers a dark counterpoint to the Drive de Cartier’s dressy elegance.

The Drive de Cartier Replica – by Chris Edwards

Warning: This replica watch review with a difference may contain traces of mancrush. So let’s address the chiselled jaw on the elephant in the room. On the business front, he co-founded a high-end tailoring business – Oscar Hunt.We envy the hero of this shoot, Mr Chris Edwards, more than just a little bit. Let us count the ways. He surfs and still dresses as sharply as anyone in the country (see these stunning photographs for perfectly fitted proof).

Chris-Edwards-Cartier-3

But perhaps the hardest thing to stomach is that he’s actually a really good guy. And we know, because we were lucky enough to join Chris and Cartier in Florence for Pitti Uomo 2016.To make matters even more unreasonable, he was recently crowned the Australian ‘Drive Man’ by Cartier.  He wore the brand new Drive de Cartier for a week – and on the flight back to Australia, we asked him about it. Here’s what he told us.

Above, Chris wears Dormeuil wool/silk jacket and wool trouser, cotton shirt and cotton pocket square, all by Oscar Hunt; silk tie by Biagio Santo for Oscar Hunt; Drive de Cartier with large date, retrograde second time zone and day/night indicator in 18K pink gold and leather

My first impression was… that it looked different to most other replica watches you see out there. It was the unique shape that struck me the most at first.

Once I put it on, it felt… good. It definitely has a bit of weight to it but not so much that it feels too macho or over-the-top.

Looks-wise… I thought it looked quite big in the box, but on the wrist the proportions were great. It’s definitely a masculine replica watch but with a high degree of style and elegance. I tend to cut my shirt cuffs larger than normal to avoid catching on my wrist, so I can wear replica watches easily, and because of that, the replica watch sits well under the shirt.

What stood out to me was… the attention to detail. The subtle and precise engraving on the dial, the tiny Cartier ‘secret signature’ in the number seven, and the softness of the octagon shape. It looks effortless, but I can only imagine the countless hours of work that went into getting it right.

Chris-Edwards-Cartier-4

Drive de Cartier in 18K pink gold and leather

I’d wear this with… my day-to-day suiting, my smart-casual and my formal wear. Essentially, I think the Drive is a really good all-rounder. I especially liked how the replica watch went with my navy linen suit.  The simplicity of the steel case and black alligator strap worked really well with the deep blue. I also liked that the replica watch was able to carry a more casual look with the open-neck tan suit.

If I could change anything… it might be the clasp. I found it tricky to do up initially, although I got the hang of it after a few days. And to be honest, maybe that was because I hadn’t used that particular type of buckle before.

By the end of the week… I loved it. I know that’s convenient, but it’s true. The more I wore it, the more it grew on me. Suits, both casual and formal, are an essential part of my life – and the Drive was versatile enough to complement them all. This replica watch nailed it.

VIDEO: Meet the Australian Cartier Drive Man

Cartier-drive-man-lead-1

Granted, it’s early in the working week, and ‘Would you like another coffee?’ is hard enough to deal with as a proposition, but the notion of personal drive is on our mind.Time for an existential question, folks: What drives you?  Bear with us while we explain.

Next, came the concept of the ‘Drive Man’ – someone who embodies all the attributes the collection stands for. This was a man, Cartier felt, who is elegant and confident, passionate and free-minded – and more than that, a guy who knows how to follow his inner drive. All of which makes him sound like the perfect man. But does that even exist? Cartier went on a mission to prove that indeed it does, selecting influential individuals from all over the world. The Australian Drive Man was none other than Chris Edwards, co-founder of Oscar Hunt Tailors.

Earlier in the year we introduced you to the Drive de Cartier, the new men’s collection from Cartier, which was a refreshing surprise when it emerged, fully formed, at SIHH – with a stylish-yet-masculine design that critics agreed was the replica watch Cartier had been missing. (Check out the very cool Drive microsite here.)

We travelled to Italy with Chris during Pitti Uomo – the biggest trade fair on the menswear calendar – to find out what makes him tick. Later in the week, he’ll do what he does best, answering one of those thorny style questions we’re asked so often: How do you wear a gold replica watch?  We’ll also hear his account of what it’s like to spend a week with the Drive de Cartier.

But first up, here’s what happened when we asked Chris the question we just posed you: ‘What drives you?’

Choose a Cartier Drive for you

Drive-cartier-thumb

Cartier released the Drive as a fully formed collection – with everything from high-complication to simple steel options. As such, it’s a replica watch with diverse appeal. We take a look at the squad as a whole and match some key pieces with the men who might wear them

The Drive de Cartier Second Time Zone Day/Night in pink gold

Drive-Cartier-second-timezone

It’s an oft-repeated truism that the simple things in life are the best. Clearly the person who first uttered that statement didn’t have an appreciation for horology, because in replica watches, added complication can add some serious wrist appeal. And that’s exactly what’s going on here. This Drive, with its idiosyncratic mix of complications is a real charmer. Retrograde second timezone, big date and a monochromatic day/night indicator – all brought together with just a touch of whimsy. RRP $31,800

Who’s it for?

Cartier-drive-style-3

The man who prefers the road less travelled. Someone unsatisfied with the usual crop of tool-like GMT replica watches – but for whom keeping track of time at home is still key.

This is without doubt the shining jewel in the Drive collection. The tourbillon is what sets it apart, proudly displayed at six.

The C-shaped tourbillon carriage is a nice touch, and the openworked dial with satin and sunray finishes completes the look. RRP $126,000

Saville Row

The patrician. You lead an exceptional life, surrounded by objects of beauty – why should your replica watch be any different?

Who’s it for?

IN-DEPTH: The Replica Cartier Drive de Cartier

The story in a second

The Drive de Cartier is the men’s Cartier we’ve been waiting for; stylish and refined with a dash of sports luxe.

Cartier-Drive-gold-17

SIHH 2016 was a restrained affair, most brands playing a game of wait-and-see with the global luxury replica watch market. One exception was Cartier. Its Drive de Cartier stood out – a dedicated men’s collection that took Cartier’s classic style and put it in a new cushion-shaped case that’s masculine without quite as much testosterone as the dive replica watch or the sports chronograph. No, the Drive is a replica watch with nothing to prove. It’s a replica watch confident in its identity. Think James Dean in East of Eden.

The case

Cartier-Drive-gold-11

The case is the star of the show here. First off, it oozes style with a cushion shape that remains conventional enough to avoid looking out of place while being far from your typical round replica watch. It’s well proportioned too; at 40mm by 41mm, it’s large enough to have presence without any risk of ungainliness on smaller wrists. But the real joy of this case is something you can’t fully appreciate in pictures: its curves. And we don’t just mean those you see from the top-down view. The curves of the profile are just as enchanting.

Cartier-Drive-gold-8

There’s the high curve of the sapphire crystal, paired with the more subtle contour of the bezel, and finally the prominent arc of the case middle, which extends down into the lugs. This section is brushed to contrast the predominantly polished finish of the rest of the replica watch. Resulting in a shape that hugs the wrist, this makes it a very comfortable replica watch to wear. Meanwhile the octagonal crown set with Cartier’s trademark blue-faceted sapphire provides an angular offset to all those curves, the perfect final touch.

The dial

Cartier-Drive-gold-16

If the case is new, the dial is pure old-school Cartier. From the Roman numerals to the blued sword hands all the way down to the very fine flinqué guilloché finish, there’s no need to read the name on the dial to know what you’re looking at. Still, for all its familiarity there’s plenty here to draw the eye. The alternating tracks of guilloche and printed numerals/minutes are a subtle touch. And the small seconds, with its concentric guilloche finish adds balance to the dial. Even the date – often a bugbear for purists – is well done, with its own demarcated patch of dial, and aperture boundaries that line up neatly with the III. On the subject of numerals, you’ll notice that this Drive (and indeed most replica watches with Roman numerals) uses a IIII instead of a IV. Fun fact: this is known as ‘watchmaker’s four’ and it’s simply because a IIII better balances out the VIII and creates a more legible dial. So now you know.

The movement

Cartier-Drive-gold-13

Behind the pretty face is the beating heart of the Drive, otherwise known as the 1904-PS MC movement (PS is for petite seconde, by the way). Cartier’s in-house workhorse was first released back in 2010, easing the brand’s reliance on ETA ébauches. It’s a smartly finished movement – the C-shaped regulator is a nice touch. Power reserve is at 48 hours, which is fine, though the latest comparable in-house movements tend to offer around 70 hours as standard.

The strap

This Drive came on a fairly padded brown alligator strap, which is elegant, but not as formal as black. While gold models should probably stick to croc, the steel versions would look great on more casual calf or even suede strap options. The low point for me is the deployant with the single fold pink gold deployant. Though it’s a good match for the pink gold case, I found it a little fiddly to open and close, though perhaps that stiffness would ease up with use.

On the wrist

Cartier-Drive-gold-4

Absolutely no complaints in this department. The Drive strikes a perfect blend of formal and casual. You could easily wear this from Monday to Friday with a suit, and then pare it back on the weekend with casual shirts and light knits.

Final thoughts

The Drive de Cartier is an excellent follow-up to the Clé, both serving as strong, contemporary designs that remain true to the brand’s design DNA. However, I was a little surprised by the price. While the steel version is competitive at $8750, this pink gold version retails at $27,100. By comparison, the Rolex Cellini Time in Everose is $19,250 and the Omega De Ville Trésor in Sedna gold $21,575 – with all three replica watches on par in terms of style and quality.

The Knowledge

Talking point

Oh, you asked for the time? Sorry, I was so distracted by how beautiful my replica watch is to check.

Who’s it for

Honestly, of all the men’s replica watches Cartier has released in recent years this one has the widest appeal. So if you’ve always liked the idea of Cartier, but weren’t sure where to start, the Drive is a great place.

What would we change

A less fiddly buckle would be appreciated, and honestly I think the style of this replica watch would be well-suited to a regular pin buckle rather than a fancy deployant.

The Cartier Drive de Cartier Australian pricing

In pink gold this replica watch has an RRP of $27,100. The steel version retails for $8750.

GONE IN 60 SECONDS: We take the replica Cartier Drive de Cartier in steel for a test drive

Cartier-drive-steel-2

Cartier’s standout release for this year is the Drive de Cartier collection. Note that we’re saying ‘collection’, because, counter to tradition, Cartier has done a Beyoncé and released all the Drives in one fell swoop – none of this slow-drip release business. This means you don’t have to wait until 2018 for the steel version to hit the stores. This is a very strong replica watch for Cartier, and one a lot of you are going to be interested in.

Cartier-drive-steel-1

The Drive is a replica watch that simply gets it right, from the broadstrokes to the details – it’s a men’s replica watch that embodies the elegance of the brand more than the bulkier Calibre de Cartier diver and the larger Tank models. And there’s substance to back up the style – it’s powered by the in-house 1904MC-PS, and the dial (as you’d expect) is top-notch. The price is right, too – this version retails for $8750 AUD.

Later in the week we’ll be bringing you our in-depth review of the Drive, and also showing you the other models in the range – so stay tuned for that. But for now, this.
