2024 "Watches & Wonders" exhibition interprets magical fantasy.
Playful shapes, breaking through the boundaries of reality, and crossing the mirror of time: Cartier performs magical fantasy to interpret the aesthetics of time. Explore the vast and endless creative domain in an unrestrained form: sometimes vivid images, sometimes abstract and distinct; sometimes precise and complex, sometimes precious and beautiful; sometimes bold and assertive, sometimes dreamy and colorful. The intangible magical aura flows between the works, conveying the unique Cartier style and spirit.
The Cartier Privé series presents a new collection of collectible watches, introducing for the first time the single-button chronograph function, equipped with the 1928 MC workshop-refined movement. In 1928, Cartier first equipped this complex function on the Tortue watch, and later reinterpreted it in the Collection Privée Cartier Paris series in 1998; exquisite design elements such as apple-shaped blue steel hands, openworked weighted seconds hand, and triangular patterns at the four corners of the dial still appear in Cartier's watchmaking works. With this watch, Cartier achieves a unique aesthetic style through its craftsmanship.
To make the dial clear and easy to read, and the precise timing function at a glance, Cartier places the minute track outside the Roman numeral hour markers. The dial only has two subdials, with a simple and pure overall layout. Simply press the single button integrated with the crown to start, stop, and reset the function. Its movement is only 4.3 millimeters thick, making it one of the thinnest movements created by the Cartier watchmaking workshop.
With just a simple action, you can activate the elegant and complex functions of this exceptional watch, showcasing Cartier's philosophy of watchmaking innovation—not just achieving aesthetic design through technology.
