Restoration of Cartier Roadster
Today I will restore a Cartier Roadster Automatic.
Launched in the early 2000s, and discontinued in 2012, the Cartier Roadster belongs to the most well-known series Cartier has ever released. It was inspired by automobiles, the watches were based on certain vintage automotive parts which reflect a sense of nostalgia. The timepieces came in different case and bracelet materials, namely steel, gold and two-toned.
Being a luxury timepiece, the Cartier Roadster is equally versatile and sporty, and features the company’s distinct use of defined shapes for their cases.
This particular watch is heavily used and shows massive scratches. I try to bring it back to its original beauty.
Enjoy watching 😊

Thank you for a very satisfying video. The ETA movement was nicely finished and seemed befitting of the Cartier name and style.

Thank you for watching ☺️ the movement is truly very nice decorated.
Another wonderfully satisfying video 👍😊. I wonder if anyone else found themselves thinking “oooh, that’s a lovely crown and stem” when you removed it!😂 It just looks lovely and solid. Your camera work is exceptional- thank you for sharing your skills with us.

Wonderful work on a watch brand I have always had mixed feelings about: is Cartier just a fashion brand or do they produce quality goods that you can enjoy at the very steep price they are asking? It seems that they are more of the former, but at least they did not cut too many corners when it came to the movement they bought and put into this watch. I do love your videos and hope you will continue making many more of them.

Nice job, lovely looking watch, ETA movement doesn't bother me at all as the chronometer and top grade ones are excellent movements. As a watch maker are in house that much better?

I have almost the same watch in similar condition. How much would it cost to have this done? Do people ship watches to you normally? I'm in the eastern US

From US to Europe/Austria and back. It doesn't worth the paperwork and costs for shipping. I'm sure you find someone near to you. Thank you for watching ☺️

great great job: you’re a Maestro…someone should explane me WHY I have to buy this watch so expensive with a 2892 movement costing 250€ each, not if it pays the brand…I do not understand it…

I think we pay always for brands. Cars, clothes, Smartphones etc. We prefer things suitable to our needs. ETA 2892A2 refined by Cartier is excellent and meets with ease chronometer standard. The case and bracelet made by Cartier are very high quality. Quality and Brand made the price. If this make any sense to you

@@MagicWatchmaking it is a non sense for me…I pay in this case (not only in this one obviously) THE BRAND, maybe the case, but how much MORE? Many many movements can be cosc, also the Miyota 9015 if well regulated for example…it should be you buy a Ferrari with a fiat engine ‘cause it runs well (maybe…maybe). My opinion…if I have to buy an expensive watch I NEED an IN HOUSE movement! Others are the Omega speedmaster with a sandwich movement, and not from factory…@ 8,000 euros, for me it will stay omto the shop forever and ever
Fake movement! There is nowhere in hell Cartier who'd leave a stamp on a baseplate 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
