The Cartier Calibre: A Timeless Beauty That's No Longer in Production

When you think of luxury watches, the name Cartier often comes to mind. The French jeweler and watchmaker has been creating exquisite timepieces for over a century, and its Calibre series is one of its most iconic and sought-after collections. However, it appears that Cartier has discontinued production of this beloved model, leaving many fans of the brand wondering what happened.

I had the pleasure of owning a Cartier Calibre myself, and my experience with the watch was nothing short of exceptional. After purchasing it from Watchmaster, I took great care to preserve its beauty and keep it in pristine condition. However, when I decided to send it back for maintenance, I received some shocking news: my watch needed a new bezel, which would set me back almost £500.

What struck me as odd was that I had hardly worn the watch, and certainly not enough to damage the bezel. This led me to wonder if Watchmaster's assessment was accurate. As it turns out, Thomas, the manager of Watchmaster, reached out to me after reading my review and reimbursed me £50 as a gesture of goodwill. He explained that he didn't think a new bezel was necessary, citing the photos of my watch.

This experience left me with some mixed emotions. On one hand, I was grateful for Watchmaster's customer service and willingness to listen to my concerns. On the other hand, it was disheartening to learn that the Cartier Calibre was no longer in production. As a fan of the brand, I had always been drawn to its unique blend of style and craftsmanship.

Despite this setback, I decided to upgrade my watch collection by purchasing a 2006 Rolex Sea Dweller from Watchmaster. While it's not the same as owning a Cartier Calibre, I'm thrilled with my new purchase and can't wait to wear it on special occasions.

In conclusion, while the Cartier Calibre may be discontinued, its legacy lives on in the hearts of watch enthusiasts around the world. If you're considering purchasing a luxury watch from Watchmaster or any other retailer, my advice is to get your watch checked now to avoid any potential surprises down the line.
