Cartier's watchmaking history, like its jewelry legacy, is a story of elegant innovation and enduring designs. Founded in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier, the brand initially focused on jewelry, but soon incorporated watchmaking, creating iconic timepieces like the Santos and the Tank.
Like many other businesses, Cartier had to find a way to combat the quartz watches. Whatever the solution would be, the center of this solution needed to be Cartier's famous watches. The solution ended up being a watch line that would pay tribute to Cartier's famous watches at a much affordable price. The name of this watch line is Must de Cartier, which roughly translates to
"Cartier, it's a Must".
This Ronde is an unisex timepiece features a deep burgundy dial that exudes warmth and sophistication. The dial is beautifully contrasted by raised gold Roman numerals, adding dimension and vintage charm. Completing the look are Cartier's signature blued steel sword hands, a subtle nod to its Parisian heritage.
The 30mm vermeil case (18k gold-plated sterling silver) offers a perfect balance of boldness and wearability, making it ideal for both men and women. Powered by a precise swiss quartz movement, it's as reliable as it is beautiful.
The alligator strap was matched in the same tone of purple and it has the original pin buckle.
Whether you're a seasoned collector or just love unique vintage watches, this piece captures the essence of classic Cartier style.
