REPAIR & SERVICE
Cartier Ballon Bleu
Gray & Sons Jewelers, located in Miami Beach, Florida is an independent watch service center, repairing Cartier Ballon Bleu watches since 1980.
Societe Cartier was founded by Louis-François Cartier in 1847, originally as a designer and producer of fine jewelry. They did not release their first wristwatch until 1904. Louis Cartier, a grandson of Louis-François Cartier, designed a new watch for Alberto Santos-Dumont, a Brazilian pilot friend of his who did not like trying to use his pocket watch while in flight. Early in its history, Cartier used movements from other Swiss watch manufacturers, including LeCoultre, Audemars Piguet, and Vacheron Constantin. Cartier also collaborated with Edward Jaeger to produce movements for Cartier to use in their watches.
The Ballon Bleu de Cartier was introduced in 2007, and was made available in multiple sizes, from 36mm to 47mm. Models were released using both quartz and automatic self-winding movements. Available complications include date, moonphase, and chronograph, but this watch is not about the features. The main appeal of this watch is its appearance. The round profile with its cabochon sapphire embellished crown and integrated crown protector, is an elegant and sophisticated addition to any watch collection. The guilloche pattern dial adds a luxurious sheen and sparkle. Cartier produces the Ballon Bleu in dozens of looks, in steel, yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, combinations of steel and gold, with diamonds, on metal bracelets and alligator straps, with several striking choices of dial colors. Style-conscious celebrities such as Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, and Johnny Depp wear Cartier Ballon Bleu watches.

Genuine is exactly what you will get. Each-pre-owned watch that we sell at Gray & Sons has undergone a sophisticated inspection by our master trained technicians. That means that timepieces have been tested inside and out to ensure functionality as well as timekeeping.
Whenever they need to repair or replace an individual component, our watchmakers use Swiss parts. These components, whenever possible, come from the manufacturer. Sometimes our master watchmakers fabricate and refurbish parts that are not otherwise available to us to purchase from our sources.
