Montre à Secret Haute Joaillerie

The l’Heure envoûtée de Cartier Collection
Between poetry and magic, the watches of the L’Heure Envoûtée de Cartier Collection meet and engage with one another. Each is unique, each is rare and precious… A mysterious pact unites them.
Who are they'

An apparition… the reflection of one, the echo of another, complicit pairs – never twins – presented by a spell that goes beyond reality. They live their lives facing one another, one figurative, the other abstract, a duo of images, a slanting mirror, a fruitful dialogue between gemstone and animal…These creations weave ties between form and colour, design and brilliance… Diamonds, emeralds and gold create connections,  proclaiming that at Cartier, poetry is a creative, living, passionate and incandescent material.
The time of metamorphosis slips between day and night… A collection of magical watches, the theatre of a waking dream, where ahead lies the chance to pass through to the enchanted worlds of Cartier. Like in a fairy tale, the majestically abstract stones come to life in the shadows and are transformed. A collection born of an encounter between two areas of Cartier expertise: the treasure of its rare stones and the vitality of its flamboyant menagerie.

L’Heure Envoûtée de Cartier… in the depths of an emerald inhabited by gardens that multiply its brilliance. A secret watch whose Art Deco rows of diamonds become electrified, revealing a tiny dial in the centre  of a series of diamond pleats…
Cartier invites us to close our eyes and experience the mystery… The vibrant, intense gemstone slowly comes to life allowing the silhouette of a crocodile, a precious reptile, to emerge at the heart of a transforming watch… Now a watch, now a brooch, this creation in free verse tells of the jeweller’s fascination for the watch’s subject.
