Smith has called his Series link 2 link a "game changer," the first production watch where he began to pursue improvements to the co-axial escapement his mentor George Daniels invented. link The Series 2 Open Dials at ACM and Wristcheck also show an aesthetic evolution from Smith's earlier restrained work to something more avant-garde. From a watchmaking perspective, the Series 2 is also the first where Smith produced his watches entirely in-house according to the "Daniels Method."

I have minor qualms about the dial color and handset that are partially personal preference but I really think Cartier knocked it out of the park this one. I'm surprised by my choice of a simple time-only Cartier as my favorite watch of the trade show since I'd much rather have picked a link high complication link like the Patek 5316P which sadly I only saw behind glass but link the folks at Cartier had exactly what a lot of fans had hoped for and sometimes that is all it takes. - Mark Kauzlarich
