Just a few weeks ahead of the 2017 Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH), Cartier has announced three new timepieces. All three are very much expressions of what has been Cartier’s most basic design philosophy for the last hundred or so years: the use of technical watchmaking not for its own sake, but rather for the purpose of creating emotional and aesthetic effects. Cartier’s mystery clocks are one of the best examples of this approach at its most successful, and while these three timepieces likely sit right at the top of the horological food chain from a pricing perspective, they’re also expressions of a unique design approach and of out-of-the-box technical solutions. I think they will be of interest to anyone interested in watches. Let’s take a look.
