I’ll just say up front that the Tortue is one of my favorite shapes from luxury fake Cartier. The way the case curves to meet those straight lugs captures so much of what I love about best 1:1 replica Cartier – romantic but rigid, Art Deco but also totally modern. (Yes, I have a ’70s Tortue.)
And it’s not just the shape. The cheap fake Cartier Tortue pre-dates the Tank, so it’s got the heritage, too. It even has a modern pedigree, since in 1998 Cartier super clone for sale chose the Tortue as the home for its monopusher chronograph caliber developed in conjunction with THA Èbauche, the join-venture of legendary watchmakers Vianney Halter, Danis Flageolet (De Bethune), and F.P. Journe.
Now, aaa quality replica Cartier‘s brought all that history back by bringing the Tortue to the Cartier Privè collection. I’m excited to get hands-on with these, especially the monopusher: best quality fake Cartier hasn’t told us much about the movement, but says it’s a new column-wheel chronograph that measures just 4.3mm thick and touts its various finishing techniques, including Côtes de Genève, bevelling, and so on. More to come!
