Cartier - Baignoire “Casque d'Or” Mini Yellow gold - c. 1990
How can one think about Cartier watch and not think of the Baignoire? An epitome of elegance, luxury and delicacy, the Cartier Baignoire evokes in itself the woman and the Cartier identity. It also illustrates the technical capabilities of the Maison in creating a mechanism that fits into an oval case.
The Baignoire Mini offers a smaller case than the classic one, making the technical feat even more astonishing! The other technical particularity is the absence of a crown, which allows an uninterrupted oval, like a cloud on the wrist. The time is set on the back of the watch, using a punch and a push button.
The yellow gold perfects the elegance of its petite size. It also enhances the bracelet with its "Casque d'Or" motif, transforming this watch into a precious and rare jewel. Another design as original as it is beautiful from the Maison! Its curves echo those of the case, lending movement to the watch. The alternating slightly different links testify to a great design and craftsmanship quality!
