Cartier Ballon Bleu Watch
The Cartier Ballon Bleu gets its name from the sapphire cabochon crown which is incorporated into its rounded case. The rounded watch is available in 19 versions in three sizes 42, 36.5, and 28.5 mm and in 18K white, pink or yellow gold and stainless steel with 18K yellow gold. The movement is the automatic Cartier caliber 049, it has sapphire crystals and the dial features a subtle "C" motif. The ladies models are available with diamonds on the bezel and dial. The prices range from $4,950 to $46,000. Or for the ultimate in bling you can opt for the special limited edition all diamond version which sells for a cool $950,000.

With my luck, I'd still find a way to scratch it the first week that I wore it.

A simply gorgeous watch, the first time I saw it was on the wrist of Lindsay Lohan. This is a welcome change to Cartier's lines which to be quite honest were getting a little boring. I think it is simple, subtle and suave.

We first saw the Ballon Bleu on Luxist last month, then ran out the following Saturday and bought a yellow gold one for my wife's special birthday. She really deserves it and, hopefully, it'll be the last watch she'll ever covet. Trust me, kids, it's a beautiful watch in person.
Cartier thanks you. My wife thanks you. (And I thank Weblogs, Inc.)
