Cartier watches (Santos, Tank, Ballon Bleu) are popular counterfeiting targets. The characteristic design (Roman numerals, blue sword hands) is recognizable, but also replicable.

Key authenticity features

  • Bracelet screws: genuine Cartier ALWAYS has visible screw slots. Pins = fake.
  • 'Swiss Made' at 6 o'clock: MICROPRINT directly below the 6 o'clock marker. Fakes often omit it or print it crooked.
  • Guilloché pattern: under 10x loupe EXACTLY parallel and uniformly deep. Irregularities = fake.
