Result
As a result of a comprehensive restoration process, this Cartier Ballon Bleu 42 mm has been returned to an appearance and performance level that closely reflects the original Cartier Calibre 049 specification. The watch is powered by the official Swiss ETA 2892-A2 base movement, which was historically used across all Cartier Calibre 049 executions. The movement has been fully restored, inspected, and adjusted to ensure excellent accuracy, reliability, and long-term stability. In addition, the caseback has been carefully restored, and the bracelet has undergone a complete refurbishment, including the repair of the previously damaged fastening system. The bracelet now functions correctly, providing secure wear and proper fit. Today, this Cartier Ballon Bleu 42 mm delivers outstanding results both mechanically and aesthetically, presenting itself as a refined, well-balanced timepiece that fully embodies the elegance and technical standards expected from Cartier.
