Description
Cartier watches have been veritable cult objects for over a century, worn by kings, queens, aristocrats, and celebrities in sports, the arts, and show business. Over 450 pieces are presented here, representing over 150 years of the finest horology. Placed in both technical and artistic contexts, each object is accompanied by its individual history and detailed technical specifications.
