Q: What size is this Cartier Clé de Cartier watch, and how does it wear? A: This watch has a 35 mm case, which gives it a refined, versatile presence on the wrist. Buyers often choose this size for its balanced look: elegant and noticeable without feeling oversized.
Q: Is the strap original, and what fastening does it have? A: The watch comes with its original buckle according to the product information. It is fitted with a black leather strap and a pin buckle closure.
Q: Is the Clé de Cartier suitable for everyday wear? A: Yes, many collectors choose the Clé de Cartier as an everyday luxury watch because of its wearable 35 mm size, automatic movement, and classic Cartier styling. As with most fine watches on leather straps, it is best treated with care and kept away from unnecessary moisture and impact.
