The Property of
A LADY OF TITLE
A RARE "CRASH" GOLD WRISTWATCH
The shaped dial with black Roman chapters and polished gold frame, cabochon sapphire winder and black leather bracelet with deployant buckle, circa 1970, movement signed by Jaeger-le-Coultre
Signed by Cartier, London
Cf.: Baracca, Negretti, Nencini, Le Temps de Cartier, Wrist International, Milano 1989, page 295
The idea for this wittily misshapen watch, apparently an amusing "accident", came from Cartier London in 1967.
Inspired by surrealism, its shape demanded perfection in the art of the watchmaker. Originally launched in a limited edition of just twelve pieces, the model continues to be produced today by popular demand despite its unorthodox shape.
