Jack Forster: Cartier Prive Collection Cloche de Cartier

Another enthusiast favorite is the Cartier

Privé collection, Cartier’s platform for revisiting its historical and most iconic designs. The latest addition to the collection, Cloche is shaped like a domed tablet. It comes with six models in yellow, platinum, and pink gold. Its dial is rotated 90 degrees from the usual position so that one can set it down on a table or nightstand or desk. This intersection of intelligent design—a mix of idiosyncratic and aristocratic—and fine watchmaking heritage, like the Quadriptyque, is horology ingenuity. The price is undisclosed.
