Cartier is one of the most sought after brands on the market today, known for their expertise in the use of shapes to create eye-catching and chic designs. The Ceinture is one such design, with its roots tracing back to the 1920s.

The present Paris example represents the height of Cartier’s freedom of design, a period where the brand refined and produced heritage models, resulting in some of the most sought after executions of their late century offering. The use of bi-metal compliments the layered case shape perfectly, and the overall package is both timeless and rooted in history.
