The term "Cloche" meaning "bell" in French, inspired a unique Cartier design. The first piece appeared in 1920 as a watch brooch, followed by a platinum and diamond wristwatch in 1921. Cartier later released a limited edition in the 1990s, limited to 200 pieces. Unlike modern versions featuring bold Roman numerals, this model showcases Art Deco inspired Arabic numerals, enhancing its vintage appeal. Its symmetrical design allows for easy readability whether worn on the wrist or on a desk, making it versatile for various occasions.
