BALLON BLEU DE CARTIER
Ballon Bleu was created in 2007 from a new vision of roundness which, for the Cartier designers, involved giving volume to the circle. Doubly convex, its shape strikes the perfect balance between line and volume. To avoid any breaking of the line, the sapphire crystal winding crown is perfectly integrated into the case, with the crown cap under a metal hoop at three o’clock protecting the blue bubble.
. JUSTE UN CLOU
With Juste un Clou, Cartier enhances the design of a basic shape by transforming a simple nail into a piece of jewellery. Clean, radical and uncompromising lines, the precision of this bracelet’s proportions, created for Cartier in New York in the 1970s by Aldo Cipullo, allows the oval to hug the wrist
TANK
In 1917, Louis Cartier took inspiration from the purity of the line to create a new watch shape.
The two parallel brancards are an established signature of the Tank watch. Inspired by the design of a combat vehicle viewed from above, this watch follows one clear graphics principle: the brancards were the treads, the case was the turret.
From this combination came a new and fundamental principal: the case attachments are aligned with the strap to maintain the rhythm of the design
TRINITY
The Trinity ring – how jewellers reveal the beauty of a shape with a single ring.
With clean lines and perfect proportions, it is made up of three intertwined, mobile bands in three colours of gold. A design created by Louis Cartier in 1924
PANTH ÈRE DE CARTIER
… First created in 1983, the Panthère watch is above all a piece of art: the square case with rounded angles, the seamless curve of the horns and the visible rivets.
With the Panthère watch, Cartier aspires for clean lines, without losing sight of the softness of the lines which make this timepiece a quintessential jewellery watch. The watch takes its name from the bracelet: ultra-flexible, it echoes the movements of the Maison’s emblematic animal.
Redesigned in 2017, the Panthère de Cartier watch reflects liberated, joyful and triumphant femininity.
LOVE
Love is the expression of Cartier’s design vision. Clean lines mean perfection: an oval bracelet created by Aldo Cipullo in New York in 1969 composed of two rigid and flat circular arcs that must be screwed together using a suitable screwdriver.
SANTOS DE CARTIER
Created in 1904, the Santos watch design is based on the concept of form, the taste for minimalism, the precision of proportions and finally, an eye for detail. For the first time, Cartier created a square watch for the wrist at a time when the pocket watch was round. The screws, traditionally hidden in watchmaking, are made visible and become an aesthetic code of the collection.
