The domed glass is very smooth and when connected to the case, it looks as if it was produced in one piece; The shine of the glass completely hides the gap at the joint.

Case and Body Workmanship

The bezel of the V6 Factory has a polished finish throughout and shines like a mirror. It is extremely comfortable in the hand for daily use. The back surface of the bezel offers clear layers, and the corner cuts are precisely machined. The round surface of the Cartier Ballon Bleu, just like a balloon, has been reproduced very elegantly by V6 Factory. There is no gap between the bezel and the glass; This integrity of case and bezel is one of the highlights of this V6 Factory Cartier Ballon Bleu.

V6 Factory meticulously examined the original watch and perfectly copied the silver-plated swirl-embossed pattern dial and sword-shaped blue steel hour and minute hands. Roman numeral hour markers further strengthen the retro atmosphere of the watch; With its steep and full lines, it turns the entire watch into a round work of art. Although the hour and minute hands are not lume coated, the quenched blue steel needles are eye-catching enough on their own. The oval date window on three sides of the dial is extremely elegantly crafted with a beveled corner-like engraving; The inward angle is just right, the numbers look clear and textured. The black CARTIER print on the dial is clearly crafted and reflects the exclusivity of the brand. The bottom floor of the hour markers section consists of a white dial; When combined with the silver-plated swirly embossed pattern, a very elegant and nostalgic look emerges.

At the tip of the hemispherical crown, which has retained its elegance even after the replica, there is a clear and eye-catching stone, entirely in blue; This is one of the most distinctive features of Ballon Bleu. Thanks to V6 Factory's meticulous replica work, the triangular channel patterns on the edge of the crown have a distinctive relief and fit precisely into the case.

The domed closed case back is held together with eight thin screws. Cartier's brand name is delicately and clearly engraved on the case back; The engraving depth is the same as the original. Underneath, there is function information, serial number and the phrase Swiss Made. Since the rest of the case back is prepared with brushed workmanship, it is resistant to daily use. When the case back joins the case, there is not the slightest gap; It has a very thin and elegant curved structure. This is the result of V6 Factory's meticulous research and processing.

Movement and Caliber Performance

An ultra-thin caliber is used as the movement; In this way, the fineness of the original factory case can be captured exactly. However, thanks to this V6 Factory mechanism, the height of the functions can be the same as the original. With V6 Factory's research and replica work, the gold-plated inscriptions on the automatic rotor are clear and flawless, the gold-colored wheels are elegant, the purple stones are dazzling, and the mechanism is very powerful in terms of power. Thus, the entire watch has been perfectly reproduced by V6 Factory.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

The way it fits in the hand is also extremely nice; Comfortable and compatible with the skin. The buckle design makes it easy for the user to put on and take off the watch; The engraving on the folding clasp is clear and textured. Ease of use is also one of the main goals adopted by V6 Factory when copying this watch.
