This sophisticated and stylish clip watch is a fine example of the collaboration between Cartier and the renowned New York watchmaker James Schulz. Measuring 20 mm in width, it was designed to be clipped onto a bag, purse, or directly onto clothing as a brooch, making it a versatile accessory. Produced by Schulz for Cartier, this watch reflects the type of thoughtfully designed and highly functional items that appealed to Cartier’s discerning clientele as elegant and practical gifts.

James Schulz, a highly regarded independent watchmaker, began his career at Tiffany & Co. before collaborating with Cartier during the mid-20th century. Known for his exceptional craftsmanship, Schulz created bespoke timepieces that combined technical innovation with refined aesthetics. Among his most celebrated works is an ultra-complicated wristwatch from the late 1920s, featuring a movement supplied by Victorin Piguet and incorporating a single-button chronograph, perpetual calendar, and minute repeater.
