Any opinions on the Cartier Ballon Blue?

[GST15]

I have the Cartier Santos and love it. I have recently been looking at the 40 Ballon Blue. Anyone have experience with this piece? any information or opinions are appreciated.

No experience with the watch but I do like it.

I’ve seen it in the flesh and it’s gorgeous. My daughter owns a two tone 36mm. I suppose the 36mm or even 40mm SS would fit all gender just fine.

You like what you like, but I personally see it as a design best suited for ladies - and a beautiful design at that. My wife loves hers. But it's not for me.

Fabulous, timeless design. Can’t really go wrong with Cartier to be honest.

My wife has the smallest one and likes it very much.

I like the Tourbillon diamond model.

My opinion as well - and I'm one of those who does not believe that watch size is what dictates its masculinity or femininity. The design itself, in it's smallest or largest iterations, are all relatively feminine looking in my opinion.

It also appears so much more delicate looking than the meatier Santos.
