Enter the enchanting world of Cartier—where reality meets fantasy, and time is viewed through the eyes of a magician. From formal to abstract, most technical to most precious, Cartier’s timepieces offer an infinite creative field that would intrigue anyone’s interest to explore into the realms of illusion and metamorphosis. Each of them bounded by an invisible magic that is merged by style and spirit.

Magic takes centre stage in this edition of Watches & Wonders 2024. The Maison’s classics, which include the most-loved Tortue Monopoussoir Chronograph watch from the Cartier Privé collection, have evolved, enchanted by the Maison’s transformative power.

Witness unexpected encounters with figuration and abstraction through its collection of timepieces that reimagine Cartier’s iconic fauna, challenging the conventional perceptions of time. It’s an invitation that we’ll happily accept for a once-in-a-lifetime journey where time is not just measured by dials but viewed in an enchanting spectacle of magic and wonder.

Here are our top picks from Cartier Watches & Wonders 2024.

REFLECTION DE CARTIER

The Reflection de Cartier is a result of a strong bond between the Maison’s watchmakers and jewellers. After the introduction of Clash [Un]limited and Coussin de Cartier watches, the Reflection de Cartier continues to embark on its journey through magic and illusion. The narrative unfolds with the open bracelet’s unprecedented generous architecture, characterised by elongated lines and defined edges. At its end, the delicate dial meets its reflection, matched in both elegance and accuracy. Available in yellow and rose gold, one in diamond-set white gold and two in white gold paved with coloured stones.

 

TIGER JEWELLERY WATCH

The tiger stares straight on as if seeking its reflection in the gleaming sunray dial clamped powerfully between its teeth. The band exhibits exceptional flexibility, wrapping around the wrist of its wearer tenderly with an array of contrasting coloured stones—imitating the tiger’s coat while making a ferocious statement. This bold piece is one of many exquisite pieces from the Animal Jewellery watches collection.

 

SANTOS DE CARTIER DUAL TIME

This is the first of the Santos collection to receive dual time yet remain faithful to the daring legacy of aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont. Bold and transformative features allow the wearer to overcome distances without sacrificing any resistance or reliability. Characterised by tapered, ergonomic contours and seamless integration between case and bracelet, it exudes elegance through its details, featuring rhodium-finish sword-shaped luminescent hands, a seven-sided faceted crown and a grey counter showing a second adjustable time zone.
