The Cartier Ronde Louis Cartier Ref. CRWR007003 in 42mm white gold with diamonds — a rare high-jewelry masterpiece with a hand-wound movement.
Iconic Expression of Louis Cartier’s Vision
The Ronde Louis Cartier Ref. CRWR007002 stands as a refined tribute to Louis Cartier’s original design codes—perfect geometric symmetry, a round profile, and Parisian elegance. This model continues the lineage of Cartier’s most iconic circular watches, blending historic watchmaking artistry with modern luxury craftsmanship. Its clean silhouette and timeless presence speak to the maison’s unparalleled ability to turn simplicity into sophistication.
Elegant 42 mm White Gold Construction
Crafted from 18K white gold with rhodium coating, the 42 mm case delivers a strong yet understated presence on the wrist. The white gold structure reflects light gracefully, creating a cool metallic brilliance that enhances the watch’s luxurious aura. Despite its generous size, the case is remarkably slim at 7.25 mm, offering both refinement and comfort for daily wear or formal evenings.
Diamond-Set Brilliance
A defining feature of the Ref. WR007002 is its subtle yet striking diamond adornment. The case is set with 61 brilliant-cut diamonds, totalling 1.53 carats, providing a tasteful touch of radiance without overpowering its classical aesthetics. Each diamond is hand-selected and meticulously positioned by Cartier’s expert gem-setters, resulting in a harmonious balance of elegance and sparkle.
Silvered Guilloché Flinqué Dial
At the heart of the watch lies the exquisite silvered guilloché flinqué dial, crafted using traditional engraving techniques that create a textured, shimmering surface. The flinqué pattern enhances depth and movement, catching and reflecting light with a refined brilliance. This intricate dial underscores Cartier’s longstanding mastery of artisanal decoration and horological artistry.
Breguet Hands in Blued Steel
The watch features elegant Breguet-style blued steel hands, celebrated for their elongated curves and deep blue tone. Made through a precise heating process, these hands provide excellent contrast against the silvered guilloché background. Their historic design adds a classical touch that pays homage to early European watchmaking traditions.
Hand-Wound Caliber 9754 MC
Powering the Ref. WR007002 is Cartier’s manual-winding mechanical movement, Caliber 9754 MC. This hand-wound caliber invites a personal ritual—winding the crown to breathe life into the watch. The movement’s architecture is engineered for accuracy, reliability, and elegance. A distinctive small seconds display at 10 o’clock adds character to the dial, creating a unique asymmetrical aesthetic.
Sapphire Crystal Exhibition Case Back
The sapphire crystal case back reveals the beauty of the 9754 MC movement within. Through the transparent window, the wearer can admire the polished components, decorated bridges, and the graceful motion of the gear train. This exhibition back highlights Cartier’s attention to mechanical refinement, making the watch appealing for collectors who appreciate both artistry and engineering.
Luxurious Alligator Leather Strap
The watch is paired with a semi-matt black alligator leather strap, selected for its durability, comfort, and deep, luxurious texture. This strap perfectly complements the sophistication of the white gold case and diamond detailing. It is secured by an 18K white gold adjustable folding clasp, also rhodium-coated, ensuring a perfect and elegant fit on the wrist.
Slim Profile with Everyday Durability
Despite its high-jewelry elegance, the Ref. WR007002 is designed for practical wear. The 7.25 mm thin case ensures exceptional comfort and effortless versatility, while the watch is water-resistant to 3 bar (~30 meters). These specifications make it suitable for both refined daily use and special occasions, without compromising its luxurious craftsmanship.
A Modern Classic for Discerning Collectors

With its manual movement, diamond-set white gold case, guilloché dial, and exhibition back, it stands as a masterpiece of elegance and precision.
