The anchor and anchor wheel are in carbon and glass, without pallets. The movement has a double barrel, with a power reserve of 52 hours. The brass Ebauches are coated is a high-tech ADLC. The oscillating replica Omega 321.10.42.50.01.001 watch weight is made of tungsten carbide, coated in ADLC. Even the case is unique, it is made of a niobium-titanium.The most important element, though, chronometrically speaking, is the Spiral Zerodur® hairspring, it requires zero regulation.Cartier says that this is the first ever wristwatch that is free from regulation - no adjusting the balance wheel screw, no adjusting the balance spring or modulating its active length, and no adjusting the position of the paddles on the anchor.Overall, this is an extremely advanced design, and proof of what Cartier is capable of. A watch like this, represents Cartier's dedication and seriousness towards watch, and will surely have a positive halo effect on the brand. Source: Cartier
When I first saw the photos of the Cartier Concept ID One, I thought it was basically a Cartier Balloon Bleu with a darkened case, darkened movement and a trimmed rotor. But after reading about this concept piece, that was designed replica Omega Planet 2907.50.91 watch and manufactured by Cartier, completely in-house.That is when I realized, that the aesthetic elements, are just the beginning of the story behind this timepiece. For the "ID One" concept, Cartier used a self-winding movement, featuring a blade style trimmed rotor (which offers an amazing, less obstructed view of the movement, than a traditional rotor design).
