今年「鐘錶與奇蹟」（Watches and Wonders 2024）展出腕錶品牌超過五十多個，在增加展商後，各大品牌可是持「審慎且樂觀」態度，新品少了，但質素仍然精采。當中，卡地亞貴為造型製錶大師，每款新品都令人讚嘆不已。

Tortue
Cartier Privé系列全新推出的Tortue時分顯示腕錶備有鉑金款和黃金錶款。此外，Cartier Privé系列還首次推出鑲嵌圓形明亮式切割鑽石的鉑金款時分顯示腕錶。鑲鑽錶款搭配銀色珠光錶盤，上鍊錶冠鑲嵌一顆圓形明亮式切割鑽石，盡顯璀璨迷人的珠寶魅力，其鑲嵌25顆鑽石。所有錶款均搭載卡地亞430MC型工作坊精製手動上鍊機械機芯，是卡地亞腕錶所搭載最纖薄的機芯之一，其外觀比例與Tortue腕錶和諧匹配。Tortue鑲鑽石鉑金錶款編號並限量發售50枚。
Santos de Cartier Dual Time
全新Santos de Cartier雙時區腕錶錶搭載融合雙時區機制的自動上鍊機械機芯，可同步讀取佩戴者所在地和原居地時間，同時保留同樣的耐久性和可靠性。這款精鋼腕錶採用流線型線條和人體工學設計，錶殼與錶鍊的線條和諧流暢，優雅氣質流露於精緻細節：覆以夜光材質鍍銠劍形精鋼指針、七邊形刻面錶冠、可調節第二時區顯示盤。
Santos-Dumont Rewind
全新Santos-Dumont Rewind腕錶攻克技術和美學挑戰：逆轉時間行進的方向。這款限量發行的鉑金腕錶配備紅玉髓錶盤，細膩幽微的色調突顯腕錶的獨特個性，展露大膽奔放的氣質。羅馬數字時標顛覆傳統，逆向排列。卡地亞透過230 MC型工作坊精製反向運轉手動上鍊機械機芯，讓指針不再順時針前進，而是逆向運行。這款腕錶忠實延續1904年原型錶款的優雅設計和山度士．杜蒙的先驅精神，在錶背鐫刻正反相映的「Santos Dumont」標誌。編號並限量發售200枚。
