The Unique Shapes Of Cartier Watches | A Crush On The Crash

The Cartier Crash

We Absolutely Love the Cartier Crash Not Just Because of Its Unique Shape But It Makes a Great Talking Piece.


The Romantic Story Behind It Was That the Cartier Baignoire Allongee Half Melted in a Car Crash Resulting in the Asymmetric Shape of the Crash Watch.


Others Suggested That the Watch was Inspired by Salvador Dali’s Surrealist Painting.

“Creating the first Crash watch was far from straightforward. After Jaeger-LeCoultre had been consulted over the most appropriate movement to use, the design was passed to the highly skilled craftsmen in the Wright & Davies workshop.” Quoting @creatingcartier


It Took Multiple Attempts Before the Crash Told the Time Accurately. This Was Due to the Irregular Dial and the Numbers Not At Their Standard Positions.
