Cartier's rugged Roadster chronograph combines elegant lines with bold, energetic styling for a look that's masculine yet refined. The large polished steel case is featured on a polished steel triple link bracelet with brushed center links and a hidden, deployment clasp. An additional black leather strap, instantly interchangeable using Cartier's patented system, is also included. Luminous black sword hands, luminous markers, and bold black Roman numerals stand out against the ivory dial, which is etched with concentric rings for a sporty driving watch look. A black chronograph seconds hand and three oval subdials display the chronograph functions, which include seconds, minutes to 30, and hours to 12. The dial also features a magnified date window at the three o'clock hour. A prominent polished steel cabochon crown completes the signature look. Suitable for all luxury and sporting occasions, this watch offers Cartier's own Calibre 8510 Swiss-automatic movement and is rated water resistant to 330 feet.

The Cartier Story

The name Cartier is synonymous with luxury, quality, and style. Founded in Paris in 1847 by Louis-Francois Cartier, the company became renowned worldwide for its design and production of beautiful jewelry and opulent objets d'art. A royal commission in 1904 made Cartier a supplier to Europe's Crowned Heads of State and led England's King Edward VII to describe Louis Cartier, grandson of the founder, as the jeweler of Kings, the King among jewellers.

By the early 20th century, Cartier had expanded its collection to include watches. At a time when pocket watches were still considered de rigueur for the distinguished gentleman, Cartier helped popularize the wristwatch, making it a bold fashion statement for men and women as well as a status symbol among the well-to-do. Louis Cartier is credited with creating the first men's wristwatch, the Santos, in 1904. He developed and named the watch for his client and friend, the Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, who needed a device that would allow him to read the time without taking his hands off the controls of his airplane.

Other classic designs followed, including Cartier's signature timepiece--the Tank--which debuted in 1917 during the First World War and was inspired by the tough new war machine the Americans introduced to the fighting in Europe. Cartier's first water-resistant watch was named after the Pasha of Marrakesh, who requested that Cartier create watch that he could wear while in his swimming pool and not lose track of time.

And while it is known more for its luxurious design, Cartier is also credited with creating the highly functional deployment folding clasp in 1910, which is now used by watchmakers around the globe.

Modern Cartier watchmakers still base their watch designs on the early fundamentals developed by Louis Cartier. Treasured by collectors, Cartier watches are distinguished by their impressive variety of shapes (round, square, oval, Tank, Tortue and Tonneau), by their exceptional materials and workmanship, and by their recognizable Cartier aesthetic, an elegant blend of classic and modern design.

This review is from: Cartier Men's W62020X6 Roadster Automatic Chronograph Watch (Watch)

I had bought and already returned this watch. This was my first Amazon watch. Unfortunately I didn't get what was advertised as a new product and was very disapointed. It came in a worn and torn outer white box with deep,aged red paint marks inside it. The watch itself did not have neither plastic protector wraps on the bracelet nor the original tags or warranty cards from Cartier. At a heartbeat, looking at it, anyone could tell that the watch was either a high mileage display model or a worn item. At a closer look, without even a magnifier, I noticed some visible scratches and dirt glued into the bracelet and the case. The back of the watch also had the signs of wear.
I own quite a few of upscale timepieces, starting from Rolexes Daytona SS, 18K... and up to Vacheron, Audemars and Patek. Never thought of Cartier but ladies versions. So I know my watches.
Sadly it was an unpleasant experience for me and I think I have to disclose it.

SquareTrade 2-Year Jewelry Warranty ($5000-10000 Items)
I bought this Cartier Men's W62020X6 Roadster Automatic Chronograph Watch for my husband for Christmas. It was beautiful and I had heard good things about Cartier. However, after a year, it stopped working. My husband thought that I purchased it from Cartier, and thinking that it was a Cartier watch, a Cartier Scottsdale boutique, run by Julie Bylow, accepted the watch and wanted my husband to find the warranty prior to servicing (she DID NOT mention to my husband at the time that if the Cartier Watch was purchased elsewhere, she would not honor the warranty -- MINOR DETAIL THAT SHE MISSED!) . My husband came home and explained that they needed the warranty. I faxed the one that I received from Amazon, and explained to Ms. Bylow at Cartier that Amazon had a special address to send the watch to and if she could please send it back to us to get it repaired. She would not give us the watch back. She still has it.

Ms. Julie BYLOW from Cartier Scottsdale, AZ, sent it in anyway for servicing and now wants us to pay over $600 for repairs for a watch that we can get covered by the warranty elsewhere for free. $600 repairs for a new watch we spent over $6000 for and it was still new. Cartier should service this for free, or give it back so we can get it serviced elsewhere. Neither is possible.

Ms. Bylow never provided us an estimate prior to sending it off, which it explicitly states was necessary in the Cartier paper work she would do if she were to service this watch at a cost. We provided her this documentation but she still won't budge. The store will not provide us our watch back. We now have to file with our insurance this egregious act performed by Julie Bylow of Cartier. We are now trying to resolve with Cartier Corporate, but have not received any resolve - and Julie Bylow has not provided any other contact to resolve her mistake on servicing our watch without our approval or review of any estimate. To this day, I don't even know what the $600+ is for, since she has not provided me a mailed (she has my home address) or scanned (she has my email) estimate!

Does Amazon have any advice on how to retrieve our watch which we never authorized to be serviced for a cost at Cartier??? Help!

I highly encourage you as a fellow consumer never to buy a watch from Cartier with this poor mismanagement of my husband's watch. I will write back if this is resolved, but currently, Cartier will not provide back my husbands watch, and of course the warranty is running out during this time!

Had a Rolex Submariner and definitely consider the Cartier Roadster Chrono a trade up. I get tons of compliments on the watch. Amazon's price is excellent (haven't seen a new one lower), altho I purchased from a local jeweler for the customer service aspect ($6200).
