After the First World War, Cartier's creativity reached its maximum
expression. With the aim of excelling in the high jewellery market, Cartier immediately focused on the highest quality of
fixtures, with a style sometimes influenced by exotic motifs
combined with highly valuable materials. Strong
ties with the Egyptian world and historic are
the floral shapes that, with their simplicity and grace, have become distinctive for the most elegant ladies. Unique to Cartier is its ability to transform
dynamic nature into jewellery, managing to give
movement to static creations.
This wristwatch with a platinum case or-
set with diamonds is a fine example of the
Art Deco style and bears witness to Cartier's innovation in the
1920s. Conceived according to
extraordinary quality criteria, this Art
Deco watch in platinum is exceptionally well preserved
despite the passage of time. The Dog Head pla-
tino mark on the outside of the caseback is crisp; The
movement, belonging to the Europe-
an Watch and Clock category, is perfectly congruent with
the era. The case features hand-engraved numerals
both inside and out. On the case back,
is an engraving of a date, with three initials, which
testifies to the era of the watch.
