DESCRIPTION

  • In the great tradition of artistic crafts…
     
    A pioneer for more than 160 years, Cartier has always placed the artistic crafts at the very heart of its creations. For the last decade, this rich heritage has been particularly honoured by the watchmaking marvels in the Cartier Art collection. These unique watches preserve, revive and reinvent rare areas of expertise that are sometimes forgotten.
     
    This year, six new creations testify to a desire to go even further, beyond the limits of an era that has passed, to project the nobility of the artistic crafts into today's world. Reinterpreting and adapting these crafts around stones, enamel, engraving and wood has given birth to a new epoch.
     
    Loyal to its inherent sense of creative craftsmanship, Cartier proposes a magical menagerie that showcases this unusual union of artisanal skills and watchmaking expertise. These artistic crafts enrich and complement each other, providing new realms of creativity.
     
    Whether at the Cartier Manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds or in the extraordinary setting of private workshops, Cartier Art watches are brought to life in the hands of outstanding craftsmen. They are exceptional pieces imbued with a passion for craftsmanship, for limits surpassed and for challenges resolved; such perfection and beauty in workings so infinitely small are truly astounding.
     
    Time no longer matters; the hands work on, producing intaglio engravings, gold cloisonné creations, stone mosaics, overlays of enamel, wood marquetry, and so on, like a poem reeled off by the tips of fingers.
     
    Emotion is most certainly in the air.

    Rotonde de Cartier 42 mm watch, jumping hours, bear motif in wood marquetry

    The illusion of relief and perspective is complete, thanks to an astonishing mastery of reflections and contrasts. Then there are the incredibly small details: here, the marquetry evokes precious cabinetmaking in gold.

    Each of these dials is unique and involves numerous steps and over 160 hours of work. Everything begins with the design, which inspires the marquetry craftsman to select each wood for its precise colour, grain and texture. Ten species of natural European wood blend together to create the bear's fur: holly, chestnut, poplar, willow, grey and pink maple, walnut and burr walnut, mottled maple and grey aningeria. Once they have been cut into tiny strands, some of the 38 pieces that make up the dial are subtly darkened to create a delicate variation that moves from light to shade, like a chiaroscuro. The puzzle begins to take shape. A mechanical movement with manual winding and jumping hours, the Calibre 9905 MC, drives this creation, born from a passionate dialogue between designers and craftsmen, artistic crafts and watchmaking complications.
