Cartier Ballon Bleu | HODINKEE Spec Sheet | What You Need To Know

Welcome to HODINKEE's The Spec Sheet, where we use digestible, 60-second clips to showcase everything you need to know about a particular watch. The Spec Sheet hits all the details: Case size, wrist feel, thickness, movement, reference number, and (yes!) lug-to-lug dimensions. It's the next best thing to having the watch in your own hands. Introduced in 2007, the Ballon Bleu came at a time when Cartier was also experimenting with some other, bolder designs and complicated watchmaking – it didn't exactly stick, but through it all, the Ballon Bleu has been a mainstay of the collection, available in any number of sizes (from 26mm to 42mm) and metals so that there's a Ballon Bleu for just about anyone.
