Evoking the French chic, Cartier unveils the rebirth of their iconic timepieces in the Baignoire collection
Created in 1912, the Cartier Baignoire challenged convention by stretching the round watch shape into an oval, almost resembling a bathtub, hence the French name “baignoire.” Since then, the Baignoire watch has seen multiple reinventions. Similar to the endless possibilities to which Cartier gives forms, it follows a pattern of continuity while resembling only itself each time.
Changing the scale
This sophisticated and reinterpreted model is now available in two new styles. The first one celebrates pure elegance with a “less is more” approach—a watch that asserts itself through the delicacy of its proportions, accompanied by the yellow gold shine of its bezel. Contrasting this is a black patent leather strap.
For the second, the watch’s emblematic oval is transformed into a bangle, a circle of solar gold to be slipped onto the wrist. In rose, yellow, or white gold, all paved, it is even more sensual with its curved case placed as close to the wrist as possible. Since this is part of Cartier’s design culture, this timepiece complements several other iconic Cartier creations.
With great consideration for the purity of lines, accuracy of shapes and proportions, and intricate details: the Baignoire watch is essential. Cartier continues to tame the infinity of time until it is at the heart of miniature watches, blurring the lines between watches and jewelry to capture the best of both crafts.
Cartier is located at Greenbelt 3, Makati City. For more information, please visit their website.
