Beautiful design, not great engineering...
I gave it 4 stars based on what I consider a very classic design with a first rectangular crown
However, this watch has some technical problems.
1) As a mechanical automatic watch this one doesn’t have enough power reserve to keep time even for 12 hours of inactivity ( this is without wavin your hand to charge it).
2) the rectangular crown is problematic when adjusting the time. Once you reached the set point, if the rectangular crown is not perfectly aligned horizontally- you will have to push it one step in, then rotate it to horizontal position before pushing it all the way in
So, the engineering leaves some to be desired like with all Cartier watches- but NOT because engineering you buy them!
You buy them because the beautiful design...
