The Roadster – nomen est omen – is often associated with motor racing. The layout of the dial is inspired by a cockpit, the subdials look like speedometer and rev counter, the elliptical date window like a windscreen and the lugs are shaped after headlights. The Cartier Roadster exudes an ambitious up-to-dateness and might just be the perfect sports watch for your wrist.
