Pre-SIHH: The Cartier Crash Radieuse & Baignoire Watches
On that note, the first of the watches presented is a version of the Crash. Created in yellow gold, the famed watch here features a dial that seems to be depitcing a radiating ripple. This effect carries on even to the case of the watch, where the ripples flow to the very edge of its bezel.
Given that the last we saw a Crash in the sale catalogues was with the 2015 Crash Skeleton, it’s great to see Cartier having produced yet another animation of the watch just two years on. Safe to say, though, that many of us are all looking forward to the day the maison brings back an incarnation of the original 1967 crash.
Regardless, the 2018 version will be fitted with the 8970 MC handwound movement and limited to just 50 pieces.
With that we’re told that Cartier’s pre-SIHH pieces are well and announced. Now for SIHH proper.
