It all began in 1912 when Louis Cartier took a traditional round watch and stretched it out, thus the elegant Baignoire Allongée is created. Meaning “elongated bathtub” in French, the design was daring back in the days and yet the collection made its success throughout the years and has extended its legacy until today with very little change in terms of aesthetics.
