Cartier Art Deco Pocket Watch

A study in classic Art Deco design, this pocket watch was crafted by the famed Cartier. Housed in an 18K gold open face case, the timepiece boasts a sleek design adorned by light blue guilloche enameling on the reverse. The white face tells the time with black enamel Arabic numerals and Bregeut-style hands, while a border of blue guilloche enamel lends it a hint of color.

The Cartier tradition of clock and watch making extends almost as far back as the founding of the company in 1898. Thereafter, Cartier's clocks and watches were manufactured with an emphasis on technical perfection, fashionable aesthetics and originality. At first, a secondary activity, Cartier’s definitive approach to l’horlogerie quickly became a point of prestige for this famed company.
