Cartier Privé Collection Cloche de Cartier Skeleton

Unusual designs are not unusual for Cartier within its Privé collection – the Crash, Asymétrique and the Tonneau readily spring to mind. With the latest Cloche de Cartier collection, the shape of which resembles a clock, the dial is rotated 90 degrees. It required Cartier to take its manual-winding Manufacture 1917 movement and rework it to create a calibre 9626 MC skeletonised movement that could support the new timekeeping orientation. With case options of 18k pink gold and platinum, a still more decadent option is a platinum case set with 107 brilliant-cut diamonds that shows just how this jeweller-watchmaker can bring its A-game to both jewellery and watchmaking – simultaneously.
