Dial and Hand Details

Now let's look at the details of the dial surface. In the middle, a gradient fish scale pattern taken from the Ballon series extends in rays. You can see this radial pattern when viewed from any angle. The size of the brailles is exactly the same. The sapphire stone on the crown is a dark blue sapphire with a sharp outward curve, just like the fish-eye stone of the Cartier Ballon series. In normal light it looks dark blue, and in lamp light it looks a slightly clear deep blue.
