As a creative designer and a pioneer in horology, most of the watches produced by Cartier over the years have always been amazed by its ability to totally break the mold with the aesthetic standards of the period in which they were designed. This happened with the Santos Dumont, the Tank, the Tortue and with the Tonneau. Also the field of jewelry watches has been variously explored and during a time when the watch industry knew nothing but round timepieces, Cartier was able to give birth to some really amazing pieces. The present watch-jewell here offered is an example of high level craftmanship and capability of of manage precious stones. This wristwatch is equipped with the Duo-Plan movement and has been produced in the 1930’s. Its unique structure make it a perfect accessory for a lady’s wrist. The pyramidal structure at 6 and 12 o’clock composed of 3 baguette-cut diamonds of different sizes and a brilliant cut diamond are of an absolute refinement. The two thin rings that tighten the rope that unwinds around the wrist are a further detail of refinement and attention. The silver dial with Arabic numerals is well preserved as is the yellow gold deployant. This lot is a perfect accessory for a female wrist.
