Cartier Ronde Solo Men’s Watch W6701005 Review
by Kailan Kalina
Nothing is more charming than the grandfather clock that sits in your grandparents’ house – there’s just something about that solid wood and old-fashioned clock face. Now imagine this in watch form; the same Roman numerals that never seem to go out of style, the round shape, the pure handsomeness. The Cartier Ronde Solo Men’s Watch W6701005 embodies all of these modernized qualities (and no irritating chime).
Surely the most striking part of this watch is its face; with the enlarged Roman numeral hour markers and clean, bold appearance on a white dial. The stainless steel linked bracelet, circular case, and the crystal gleam flawlessly as the underlying components of its luxury. Slim, blue minute and hour hands match the spinel cabochon on the crown set. Surrounding the inside of the Roman numerals is a ring with tiny hash marks so there will be no estimating the exact time – sometimes knowing down to the last few minutes matters! The watch also includes a few special add-ons. There is a small date calendar located next to the three o’clock mark, and along the inside edge of the ring next to the Roman numerals are their corresponding numbers in military time.
According to consumers, this watch doesn’t come up short in quality, and anyone with eyes can see that it doesn’t lack in extravagance whatsoever. This probably isn’t a piece that would be worn every day, and wouldn’t be practical for those who are active and always on the go. Men who find themselves dressing up more than occasionally would look like a million bucks with the Ronde Solo W6701005 on their wrist! Dinner party or Red Carpet status gathering, you’re sure to impress the folks around you.
