"Following an initial preview, Cartier delivers more intimate details about their ID Two Concept Watch – a five year labor of love worked on by more than 135 specialized engineers. Behind-the-scenes photographs from their manufacturer in La Chaux de Fonds reveal a watch that is cased entirely in a transparent ceramic that has been vacuum-sealed to reduce air-friction.

Dubbed a “game changer” by many watch specialists, both the design and energy efficiency make the latest from Cartier truly a modern marvel.
