Check Out Our Picks for the Three Best Cartier Watches of 2016

It's a great time to take a look at the best-selling watches of the year and maybe put one or two of them on your holiday shopping list. Today, we shine the spotlight on three of the most coveted Cartier watches of 2016. While some of these were introduced back in January in Geneva at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie, they didn't make their way to retail stores until the fall — so they are still super fresh and sought after.

Drive de Cartier Date Watch



This year Cartier stepped up its offerings and unveiled an exciting, all-new collection: Drive de Cartier. The watch line features a cushion-shaped retro-inspired case, and there are several versions of the watch, including a three-hands with date, a dual time zone retrograde watch and, at the high end, a tourbillon. The watches are created in stainless steel or in 18-karat rose gold, and each houses one of three in-house-made calibers. At the simple, classic end of the spectrum, we like the Drive de Cartier Three Hands Date watch, with small seconds subdial at 6:00. Powered by a mechanical movement, the 18-karat rose gold version with a white dial and calf leather strap is simple yet alluring.

Clé de Cartier Skeleton Caliber 9612MC



Crafted in palladium, the new Clé de Cartier Skeleton watch is a superb blend of art and technical prowess. Skeletonizing a watch is no easy task and master artisans work tirelessly to find the perfect balance of open-worked metal and enduring strength. The beauty, however, is proof that the work is worth the wait, as a skeletonized watch offers stunning views of the movement. Such is the case with this year's newest watch. The Clé de Cartier Skeleton Caliber 9612 MC is the brand's first automatic skeleton 165-part movement. Cartier has skeletonized the rotor and gave the bridges a purpose: they form the Roman numerals.

Crash Skeleton



Another grand example of skeletonization is the Cartier Crash watch with mechanical manual-wind movement in 18-karat rose gold. The unusually shaped Crash was originally developed in 1967 and has remained a coveted icon ever since. Now, with the skeletonized version housing the 138-part manual wind Caliber 9618 movement, Cartier brings breathtaking beauty and watchmaking prowess. Like the Clé de Cartier Skeleton, the bridges in this watch form the Roman numerals and offer a dramatic view inside.
