Cartier at Geneve - Show secretly with Crocodile

March 25th, 2006

Roundnesses, countdown and optical illusion Of the new with a timeless form, the round, stylistic device of the geometry House with the new watch Rotunda of Cartier who enriches the aesthetic pallet by the Private Collection Cartier Paris. A Collection which combines also poetry and technique when she invents a time which countdown, a time cut into two, on a side the hours, other, minutes separated with the vertical from the famous Tortue watch. A style which votes for the extreme creativity around traditional lines like these duplicated and superimposed rectangles which make the surprise of the collection Cartier Libre. Elegance with the wrist, creative or fanstaque like this work of high jewellery, bracelet crocodile for a watch with secrecy in yellow gold paved of diamonds whose mouth opens and closes again as by enchantment on a language of ruby which swallows a time, here, more invaluable than ever.
A watch of high jewellery, in the great tradition of the animalist style House. Crocodile with the diamond scales of which the forms reptiliennes surround the wrist of a seizing realism. Work of pure jeweller who engraves in smoothness and miniature, legs, eyes, head, tail, scintillating of light and wild preciosity. Stones, smaller with largest which imitate with more close the skin of the animal, follow in measurement the curves of the crocodile, reproduce out of emerald, the eyes and in ruby the interior of the mouth. Marvellous details of this watch with secrecy which dissimulates a mechanism made to open and close the incredible jaw of the predator on a language to give time, genuine carpet of ruby. Dial with the mysterious and fairy-like effects that Cartier conceals with the glance for the only pleasure of the illusion and the seduction of one hide-shown ludic and extraordinary.
