-Description
Created by Louis Cartier in 1912, the Tortue was Cartier's third wristwatch, after the Santos-Dumont and Tonneau.
As the name suggests, the turtle-inspired case was an avant-garde design for a time when there were only round watches, but it eventually became a classic.
This reference 2762 is Monopusher chronograph from CPCP (Collection Privée Cartier Paris).
CPCP was produced from 1998 to 2008 as a top-of-the-range men's line and remains a highly popular collection even now that it is no longer in production.
The case size is slightly larger than a standard monopusher chronograph at 38 mm, matching contemporary tastes for more massive watches..
The case is made of 18K white gold. It has a polished finish on all sides. The case back of the watch has a partially skeletonised back and sapphire glass.
Beneath the curved sapphire glass, the dial features CPCP's signature fine guilloche engraving and blued-steel Breguet hands.
The Cartier Paris notation not only gives it a vintage feel, but also indicates that it is a special collection watch.
The installed movement is a manual wind Cal.045MC. A movement manufactured for Cartier by a company THA Ébauche.
THA Ébauche is a movement development company co-founded by three watchmakers: F.P. Journe, Vianney Halter and Denis Flageollet.
The first two are very well known for their own namesake brands, while Denis Flageollet is a co-founder of De Bethune, and each of these watchmakers has a proven track record as an independent watch brand, so this is a very valuable movement.
The column-wheel chronograph movement is also used in the Tank monopusher chronograph and De Bethune DB1 monopusher chronograph.
The Cartier double C logo is engraved on the bridge part visible from the skeleton back. This is another major feature of CPCP watches.
Comes with a deployant-buckle made of 18K white gold, the same material as the case.

Our stance is that "customers can use good products with peace of mind for a long time."
In order to achieve this, the presence of a skilled repair craftsman is essential.
How well the work is done depends largely on the thoughts of the craftsman.
The watchmakers who Arbitro asks are craftsmen who do not cut corners in such areas, so we ask them to carry out the repair work with peace of mind.
About Complete Service
Complete service, sometime called overhaul is the work of disassembling a mechanical product down to its individual parts, cleaning and reassembling it to bring it closer to its new state of performance.
Roughly speaking, the overhaul procedure is as follows.
1. Separate into case and movement
2. Disassemble the movement
3. Inspection and pre-cleaning of wear condition of each part
4. Wash parts with a special machine
5. Lubrication and assembly
6. Waterproof test
7. Final adjustment and running test.
Some movements are made up of hundreds of parts, but it is a very meticulous process of disassembling them one by one, inspecting them all, cleaning them, and reassembling them.
If you don't overhaul, the oil will deteriorate just like a car, and the risk of wear and damage to parts increases, causing a decrease in accuracy and, in severe cases, not working.
There is also the reason that it will be very expensive to replace parts after they are found to be damaged, so we recommend overhauling once every 2-3 years for economical and long-term use.
About Polishing
Vintage watches have been used for decades, and even the stainless steel used in many watches has rounded corners that were originally sharp, and has many small scratches even though the mirror finish should be beautiful. state.
At Arbitro, some watches are sold with a new finish, based on the idea that you can purchase them in beautiful condition and use them for a long time.
In particular, gold-cased dress watches are finished to bring out the best of the precious metal case.
The watches sold by us that have been given a new finish are shot in very high definition, so you can see that the edges stand out and the light is reflected by the mirror finish.
Also, depending on the case or bracelet, there are cases where multiple finishes such as mirror finish and hairline finish are mixed, but there are not many craftsmen who can distinguish between them and finish them at a high level.
In addition, the “thinness of the case” is also a part that is greatly influenced by the skill of the craftsman.
A watch that has become thinner and has thinner lugs is far from its original design, and the appearance becomes unbalanced.
It is a very precise work that brings the case closer to the original finish by eliminating scratches and dents while reducing the thickness of the case to the utmost limit.
Of course, there are cases where it is better to use the watch as it is, in order to emphasize the history of the watch and its original condition.
We look at each watch and judge whether it is best to finish it before selling it.
