Historically, Cartier was not known for creating movements in-house. The beginnings of the Calibre de Cartier can be traced back to the creation of the first Cartier in-house movements in 2008.

While it was discontinued in 2018, the Calibre de Cartier, as well as its Chronograph, Diver, and Tourbillon sub-collections, continue to be sought after in the pre-owned market. This paved the way for Cartier to not just establish its identity as a manufacturer of its own movements, but also as a key player in the sports watch genre.

Introduced in 2010, the Calibre de Cartier marked two notable firsts for the French maison: it is the first watch equipped with an automatic mechanical movement crafted entirely in-house at the Cartier workshop in Switzerland and it is also the first caliber in the company’s history to be designed specifically for the men’s sports watch market. Aside from its bold take on signature Cartier elements, the special feature among Calibre de Cartier watches lies within their interior: without exception, they are equipped with Cartier movements produced completely in-house. The Calibre de Cartier is a sporty and robust reinterpretation of the classic round watch.
