The distinctive feature of the Cartier Ballon Bleu von Cartier is the fluted crown set with an onyx cabochon. The diamind-set bezel, convex curves of the case and the engine-turned mother-of-pearls dial with Roman hours and the secret Cartier signature on the right hand stroke of the "VII", the Ballon Bleu looks very extravagant and extremely present on the wrist.
