Introduced in 2007, the Cartier Ballon Bleu collection swiftly established itself as a symbol of luxury horology. A relatively recent inclusion in the French Maison's repertoire, it has rapidly garnered acclaim as one of the most adored unisex timepieces.
Its distinctive and elegant design, featuring a round case and iconic blue sapphire cabochon crown, epitomizes Cartier's spirit of innovation. The name "Ballon Bleu" or "blue balloon" was inspired by its rounded shape and the enchanting allure of the blue cabochon.
The collection commenced with simple models that form the core of the range. Equipped with an ETA-based automatic movement for earlier models, and in-house Manufacture Cartier automatic movements for more recent models, the Ballon Bleu is offered in time-only and time-and-date variations in steel, gold, and two-tone options, with case sizes of 28mm to 42mm in diameter.
In its brief yet eventful history, the Ballon Bleu has seen the release of special and intricate editions: the Chronograph, the Flying Tourbillon, the Extra Flat, and the Moon Phase. The newest models also showcase Cartier's innovative QuickSwitch mechanism, enabling the wearer to change straps and bracelets effortlessly without tools.
By blending spherical shapes and incorporating various styles, features, and complications, Cartier has masterfully fused the technical precision of watchmaking with the artistic sensibility of fine jewelry in Cartier Ballon Bleu watches.

The Cartier Ballon Bleu is a casual-to-dress watch with a convex round case and a sapphire cabochon integrated within the crown. It also comes with the choice of a polished link bracelet or a leather strap. Cartier Ballon Bleu watches come in both men's and women's editions and have a wide range of metals and sizes available.
Cartier Ballon Bleu watches are water resistant to 3 bar (or approximately 30 meters / 100 feet). This amount of water resistance is enough to protect it from rain or hand washing but is not intended to be used while showering or even during light water activities like swimming or snorkeling.
The Cartier Ballon Bleu has been in continuous production since 2007. Some models (such as the Extra Flat or Chronograph) have been discontinued, but the basic, time-only models and Tourbillon are still being produced by Cartier.
