The unconventional octagonal case of this Cartier wristwatch represents a striking departure from traditional circular or rectangular designs. Bold yet harmonious, its distinctive geometry highlights the creative exploration of shape and form undertaken by designers and craftsmen during this highly experimental period at Cartier’s London workshops.
Contrasting yet perfectly balanced in its classic minimalism, the white dial features Cartier’s traditional Roman numerals and slender épée hands, while an inner black linear border subtly echoes the framework of the case. Completing the cohesive and thoughtful design, the integrated two-colour 18k gold bracelet integrates very well into the case and is of similar design to other Cartier bracelets that can be found in archival photographs.
