fake rotonde earth & moon
The Rotonde de Cartier Earth & Moon is one of the most theatrical complicated watches of the modern era, a 47mm statement piece built around a rotating earth-and-moon display. Our 1:1 replica reproduces the case proportions, the skeletonised dial architecture and the working moon-phase disc so the watch reads correctly on the wrist and in photographs. It is the closest thing to the original short of a boutique purchase.

Materials and Specifications
The case is machined from 316L stainless steel and hand-finished in alternating polished and brushed passes, matching the original's contrast between the lugs and the mid-case. The dial is a multi-layer skeleton assembly: a rhodium-tone base plate, applied Roman numeral chapter ring, blued-steel hands and a separate moon-phase module driven off the main gear train. The caseback is secured with six screws and fitted with a sapphire window, while the strap is cut from full-grain leather and tapers to a signed deployant clasp. Every watch is regulated and inspected before it leaves the bench.
Shipping and Returns
Orders are packed discreetly and dispatched within one business day, with tracking supplied as soon as the parcel moves. If the watch does not suit you, return it unworn in its original packaging within 30 days for a full refund or exchange, and our team will walk you through the process step by step.
Is the moon phase actually functional?
Yes. The earth-and-moon disc is driven by the movement and advances through the lunar cycle rather than sitting as a static decoration.
How does the size compare to the original?
It uses the same 47mm case diameter and lug spacing as the reference, so it wears identically and accepts the same strap widths.
Can it be worn every day?
It can. The steel case, sapphire crystal and splash-resistant build handle normal daily use, though we would take it off before swimming or heavy manual work.
