This Watch
The 'Must De' Cartier concept was first introduced around 1973 when the Cartier lighter became the must-have accessory. Cartier branched out from jewellery to pens, leather goods, fragrances and more affordable watches. One of the main ways they transformed their designs way by making them out of vermeil, or silver gilt, which is gold-plated sterling silver. This made the watches more affordable whilst still having the prestige of being made from a precious metal. Various sizes, dial colours and finishes were then produced for both men and women. The Must de Cartier line was faded out at the beginning of the 21st century.
Here, we have all of the classic details that make Cartier watches such icons of design: the railway-style minute tracking, with the rarer black amost turning dark brown dial with Roman numerals. The more unusual and unique part of this dial is how over time the dial has aged in a form of 'spider web' or crazy pave effect. Quite sought after by collectors. The trademark cabochon winding crown, but with a few twists that make this watch the rare thing of beauty that it is!
