Just Because: The Cartier Révélation d’Une Panthère, But With Diamonds

In case you need a refresher, here’s the deal with the Révélation: Between the black lacquer dial and the crystal is a patented liquid and a collection of 650 small diamonds. When you tilt the watch to check the time, the diamonds move through the liquid and navigate a few invisible channels just under the crystal, forming the face of a panther for just a moment before it disappears again. The original formulation took half a decade to concoct and this version with diamonds required additional R&D from there. The watch is mechanical (in case you were worried about that for some reason), utilizing the caliber 430 MC, which is a hand-wound movement based on the Piaget 430P. It runs at 3 Hz, in 18 jewels, and carries a 36-hour power reserve. In all there are 1,289 diamonds on and in the watch, totaling approximately 19.39 carats. Yeah, it’s serious.

But enough about that. You wanna see this thing in motion, right? Luckily for you, we’ve got the goods right here:
